The trailer begins by introducing the characters: a father (Mack) who is “content to keep his family safe” -as detailed in the synopsis-, a mother (Pam) eager to travel other areas, and her teenage son (Dax) and youngest daughter (Gwen). “After a family of migratory ducks perch on their pond with exciting stories from remote places, Pam convinces Mack to embark on a family trip, through New York City, to tropical Jamaica. As wild ducks head south to spend the winter, their well-laid plans quickly go awry. The experience will inspire them to expand their horizons, open up to new friends, and achieve more than they ever thought possible, while learning more about others, and about themselves, than they ever imagined.” Migration” was written by Mike White, creator of “The White Lotus,” who is working on its third season.
