We know that we’re not the only ones that stop to watch certain movies and television shows that come on – no matter what we’re doing. For us, one of those movies is The Holiday. It’s a movie that we never thought we would get more of and yet we’re here and the news broke this week that it may become a limited series.
Apple TV+ has in the works a limited series in the works – an adaptation of the movie. It will follow the premise of the movie – not be a reboot. It will be all new characters. We’re thinking that is the best because if anyone was to ruin the 2006 movie for us, we would revolt.
The Holiday came out in 2006 and starred Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. It is a movie that we stop to watch every time because of the way that the actors brought the premise to life. If you aren’t familiar with the Nancy Meyers movie, the premise is, “Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda for a much-needed break. Iris finds herself in a palatial Hollywood mansion while Amanda navigates the lanes of a picture-perfect English village. Soon enough, both lovelorn ladies bump into local lads perfect for a romantic pick-me-up.”
Will Nancy Meyers be involved? Well, the genius (we love her) took to her Instagram story and with a screenshot of an article about the series and wrote, “News to me, imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.”
No news of any actors attached to the limited series, but we can guarantee you that we will be watching out for any and all news related to this.
What are your thoughts? Would you watch a series based on The Holiday?
Since it’s not a reboot and instead be new charecters, YES! I’m very excited.
