"The Holiday" Film to Receive TV Reboot on Apple TV+
1 Aug
Summary
- "The Holiday" film from 2006 is being adapted into a TV series
- The new show will feature different characters and a reimagined premise
- Original writer/director Nancy Meyers is not involved in the project

In a move that is sure to delight fans of the 2006 romantic comedy "The Holiday," Apple TV+ has announced plans to adapt the film into a new television series. The project is being developed by "Catastrophe" co-creator Rob Delaney and "Sweetpea" writer Krissie Ducker, who previously worked together on the acclaimed comedy series.
While the original film centered on two women, Amanda and Iris, who swap homes and find unexpected love, the new TV adaptation will feature a completely different set of characters and a reimagined premise. This decision was made despite the fact that the original film's writer, director, and producer, Nancy Meyers, is not involved in the project.
The announcement of the "The Holiday" TV series comes as a number of early 2000s films, including "Freaky Friday," "The Devil Wears Prada," and "The Princess Diaries," have also received or are in the process of receiving franchise sequels. This suggests a growing trend of revisiting beloved stories from that era for a new generation of viewers.
As the casting search for the new series is currently underway, fans of the original film will have to wait and see how the beloved story is translated to the small screen. However, with the creative team behind "Catastrophe" at the helm, there is certainly reason to be optimistic about the potential for a fresh and engaging take on this classic romantic comedy.
