A limited series adaptation of the 2006 romantic comedy film “The Holiday” is in development at Apple TV+, Variety has confirmed.
As with the film, the series would center on two women, one British and one American, who swap houses during the Christmas season and find love along the way. The series would reportedly focus on different characters than those featured in the film.
Krissie Ducker is attached to write and executive produce the series, with Rob Delaney serving as a consultant. Left Bank Pictures will produce. Nancy Meyers — who wrote, produced, and directed the film — is not attached to the series. The search is now on for the series leads. Should the cast come together, the series is expected to receive a greenlight.
Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, and Jack Black starred in the original film. Winslet played Iris, a London columnist for The Daily Telegraph, while Diaz portrayed Amanda, the owner of a film trailer company in Los Angeles. Upon swapping houses, Iris meets Miles (Black), a film composer, while Amanda meets Graham (Law), Iris’ widowed brother.
“The Holiday” was a box office success upon its release, grossing over $200 million worldwide. It has maintained a strong cult following ever since.
Ducker’s past TV writing credits include shows like “Killing Eve,” “Sweetpea,” and “The Assassin.” She was also a writers assistant on “Catastrophe” early in her career, with Delaney having starred in and co-created that show with Sharon Horgan. Ducker is repped by Independent Talent Group and Black Bear.
Deadline first reported the project was in development.
