‘Dietland’ Trailer: Extended Look At AMC’s Revenge Fantasy Series

May 4, 2018

AMC has released the official trailer and key art, with tagline “Join The Revolution”, for Dietland, its timely dark comedic series starring Joy Nash and Julianna Margulies.

The 10-episode satire from Marti Noxon (UnReal) follows Plum Kettle (Nash), a ghost-writer for the editor of one of New York’s hottest fashion magazines. Struggling with self-image and fed up with how she’s treated by her boss and society, Plum sets out on a wildly complicated road to self-awakening. At the same time, everyone is buzzing over news reports about men, accused of sexual abuse and assault, who are disappearing and meeting untimely, violent deaths. Plum also finds herself in the middle of two warring factions—one sisterhood who may be responsible for the attacks on male harassers, and the other which preaches female empowerment. She straddles these two groups, trying to make sense of the changing world and her part in it.

Described as equal parts revenge fantasy and heartfelt journey to self-acceptance,Dietland is a darkly comedic story that explores a multitude of issues faced by women today – including patriarchy, misogyny, rape culture and unrealistic beauty standards, per AMC.

Dietland, a co-production between AMC Studios and Skydance Television, premieres on International Women’s Day, Monday, June 4, with two back-to-back episodes beginning at 9 PM on AMC.
