Trailer of Netflix's Thai Cave Rescue series out

The trailer of Netflix's limited series, Thai Cave Rescue, was released on Tuesday.

The series brings to light the untold perspectives of the rescue mission that captivated the entire world in 2018.

The six-episode limited series – created and written by Michael Russell Gunn and Dana Ledoux Miller – is a deeper dive into this incredible rescue mission. Shot entirely in Thailand, with on-location filming at the real Tham Luang cave, Thai Cave Rescue delivers an expanded, dramatized retelling that covers in detail the harrowing experiences of Coach Eak and the 12 players of the Wild Boars football team inside the cave.

Thai Cave Rescue features interviews with the real boys from the football team and scenes shot at their homes. To further ensure an authentic and immersive depiction, the underwater cave diving scenes feature Dr Richard Harris – the Australian anesthesiologist and cave diver who took part in the rescue – as the body double of Rodger Corser, who plays the show’s version of Dr Harris.

As the deeper parts of the real cave cannot serve as a filming location, the production team spent three weeks exploring the real Tham Luang and its surrounding forests and mountains and months shooting additional locations involved in the operation.  A fully 3D LIDAR scan using advanced laser technology was carried out to recreate the interior chambers of Tham Luang on a soundstage. The series will premiere on September 22.
