The upcoming Hulu seriesSaint Xbrings together the island intrigue ofThe White Lotuswith a captivating true crime plot that has unmissable echoes of the 2005 disappearance ofNatalee Holloway.
PEOPLE can exclusively debut the dark drama’s first trailer, which shows a fun-filled tropical getaway quickly turning into a nightmare.
“Multiple witnesses saw Alison at the bar last night with two young local men,” a police officer says to a crowd of reporters. “Let me be clear: we have determined the death of Alison Thomas was an accident.”

But Alison’s family can’t shake the gut feeling that “Alison’s death was not an accident, and everyone knows it,” as her father tearfully says to members of the press.
Now older, Allison’s sister Emily Thomas (Fear the Walking Dead’sAlycia Debnam-Carey) has had to relive the mysterious disappearance and death in the headlines for years. And sometimes, for Emily, “it feels like the whole world knows more” about the situation than she does.
This leads her to seek the truth. But it’s had dire repercussions for her, with one friend advising she seek “help” because she’s essentially “become a stalker.”
“My sister was murdered. That is the only thing that matters,” Emily says. “I need to keep doing this … for her.”
CountingDrakeamong its producers,Saint Xalso starsBetsy Brandt, Josh Bonzie, Jayden Elijah, Bre Francis, Kenlee Anaya Townsend and Michael Park.
The series, which is based on Alexis Schaitkin’s2020 novelof the same name, “is told via multiple timelines” and “upends the girl-gone-missing genre as it explores how a young woman’s mysterious death during an idyllic Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that eventually pulls her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth,” according to a description from Hulu.
