‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’: Sky Releases Trailer For Steven Moffat Adaptation, Premiering May On Sky Atlantic & NOW
Sky has released a trailer for Steven Moffat’s adaptation of ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife‘, which stars Rose Leslie and Theo James in the lead roles, and is due to premiere in May 2022 on Sky Atlantic & NOW in the UK.
An intricate and magical love story, adapted by Steven Moffat from the much-loved novel by Audrey Niffenegger and directed by David Nutter, ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ tells the story of Clare and Henry, and a marriage with a problem… time travel…
Rose Leslie (‘Game Of Thrones’, ‘The Good Fight’) plays Claire Abshire, fiery, clever and unstoppable… and for most of her life, she’s had an amazing secret. Since she was 6, she has had an imaginary friend: a kind and funny man, sometimes old, sometimes young, who appears in the woods behind her house and tells her tales of the future. Visits from the mysterious Henry are the bright spots in the tedium of her childhood. As the years pass, and she grows into a beautiful young woman, she starts to realize her friend is not imaginary — he’s a time traveller, visiting from the future. And he’s not just from any old future — he’s from her future. Clare has a literal date with destiny. One day she’s going to meet a young man called Henry DeTamble — whom she’ll know very well but who won’t recognize her at all — and she will become the time traveller’s wife.
Theo James (‘Sanditon’) plays the aforementioned Henry DeTamble, who has been a time traveller since he was 8. It’s not a superpower, it’s a condition that he can’t help. Sometimes, when Henry is stressed or worried (and sometimes for no reason at all) he loses his grip on the current moment and falls naked into the past or the future. One minute he’s making breakfast, the next he’s naked at a hoedown in 1973. He can be stuck there for minutes or months, he never knows. His life is a rollercoaster of constant danger and white-knuckle survival. Until one day he meets a beautiful redhead in the library where he works. Her name is Clare Abshire and though he’s never seen her before, she claims to have known him all her life. Finally, his curse has given him something good, and Clare and Henry are about to have the time of their lives.
The six-episode series is an HBO and Warner Bros Television production based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger. The drama is executive produced by Steven Moffat (‘Doctor Who’, ‘Sherlock’), Sue Vertue, and Brian Minchin through Hartswood Films, Joseph E. Iberti, and David Nutter.
‘The Time Traveler’s Wife‘ does not yet have an exact premiere date, but is set to air in May 2022 on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. The series will air on HBO Max in the USA.
