HBO has given a series order for The Time Traveler’s Wife, adapted by Emmy winner Steven Moffat (Sherlock, Doctor Who) from the Audrey Niffenegger novel. An intricate and magical love story, the series tells the story of Clare and Henry and a marriage with a problem… time travel.
The beloved story follows Henry DeTamble, an adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. The couple’s passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap.
“I read Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife many years ago, and I fell in love with it. In fact, I wrote a Doctor Who episode called The Girl In The Fireplace as a direct response to it. When, in her next novel, Audrey had a character watching that very episode, I realized she was probably on to me. All these years later, the chance to adapt the novel itself, is a dream come true. The brave new world of long-form television is now ready for this kind of depth and complexity. It’s a story of happy ever after — but not necessarily in that order,” said Moffat.
