The Mosquito Coast is a new adventure drama series and is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on April 30. Of interest to note, the show is adapted from a 1981 novel of the same name by Justin Theroux’s uncle, Paul Theroux.

The series follows the story of brilliant inventor and radical idealist, Allie Fox, played by Justin Theroux (The Leftovers). When they suddenly find themselves on the run from the U.S. government, Fox uproots his family and heads with them to Mexico.

Melissa George plays Allie’s wife, Margot. Meanwhile, their son Charlie and daughter Dina are played by Gabriel Bateman and Logan Polish respectively.

First trailer and premiere date

In the trailer, included below, Dina asks, “Dad, why are you doing this to us? Why is it such a big secret?”  Allie replies, “Because we have a problem.” He says. “You know the kind of problem that you think, ‘Okay, first glance, that looks pretty bad?'”

We then see the couple talking, while Margot warns that the kids could get hurt. Allie assures his wife that the children won’t get hurt because they are with them. However, Margot responds that this is what she is worried about.

The conversation between Allie and Dina continues about the mysterious problem they have encountered. Allie assures Dina if he just sits down to think about it, he might be able to figure a way out of the problem. Allie said they will make the move and start again. He tells Dina that it is going to be an adventure, to which she says she is scared. Dad pipes up, saying absolutely. He said if it didn’t feel like that, it wouldn’t be an adventure. As the trailer closes, Allie urges that they need to go.

As noted by People, the Mosquito Coast will run over seven episodes. Creator Neil Cross and Rupert Wyatt will be executive producing. The team will also include author Paul Theroux, Edward L. McDonnell and star Justin Theroux. Readers can enjoy the first trailer here.
