Dockery – who has also starred in Netflix western Godless, Anatomy of a Scandal and BBC's This Town – will play Julia, while Gunning, the Emmy and BAFTA-winning star of Baby Reindeer, takes the role of Annie.
The series comes from writer and executive producer Jude Mack, with Emma Freeman directing and is based on Conran's 1987 novel Savages. Conran was one of the biggest-selling authors of her era, best known for her 1982 blockbuster Lace, and Savages continued her focus on wealthy women pushed to their limits.
It continues: "Four very different women accompany their mining executive husbands on a corporate holiday to a beautiful but lethal tropical island. When the men's shady deals land them all in danger, the women must learn to survive the jungle, and each other. Can they put aside their differences, self-doubts and vanities to stay alive?"

Mack said she was thrilled to be adapting the book. "Feral is a wild, messy journey of self-discovery and it's a complete dream to be carrying Shirley Conran's torch alongside Hera and Netflix," she said. "I can't wait for people to meet these funny, brutal, bold women. I'm obsessed with them and hope audiences will be too."
"Emma Freeman is the perfect director to take us on the ride, and Netflix have wholeheartedly embraced the scale and ambition of the show."
The series will consist of seven hour-long episodes, and while a release date has not yet been announced, filming is due to kick off in Australia this year.
