Apple TV+ is working on a limited-series adaptation of Nancy Meyers’ 2006 romantic comedy film “The Holiday,” according to a source familiar with the project, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The original movie featured Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black.
Tony Maglio for The Hollywood Reporter:
Meyers is not involved in the adaptation — she didn’t even know about it.
“News to me,” Meyers wrote on her Instagram on Friday. “Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.”
Krissie Ducker will write and executive produce through Left Bank Pictures; Rob Delaney (Catastrophe) is a consultant.
Ducker was a writers’ assistant on Catastrophe. For Delaney, should The Holiday get an official greenlight, it will mark his return to Apple TV+ after starring in season one of Bad Monkey.
The Apple TV+ limited series will follow new characters. Like the ‘06 comedy, this version will follow a single American woman and a single British woman, living very different lives, who swap their houses for the holidays. They, of course, find love along the way.
The newcomers have yet to be cast.
MacDailyNews Note: “The Holiday” debuted at number three on the U.S. box office chart, earning $12,778,913 during its opening weekend of December 8, 2006. The film grossed $63 million in North America and $142 million internationally, totaling $205,841,885 worldwide against an $85 million production budget.
