About HBO’s The Time Traveler’s Wife:

Theo James and Rose Leslie star in The Time Traveler’s Wife, a new HBO drama series based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger. The upcoming production centers around the love story of Claire (Leslie) and Henry (James), and time travel.

What is the plot?

The series will be Rose Leslie’s return to HBO since Game of Thrones. According to Deadline, Claire Abshire is “fiery, clever and unstoppable — and for most of her life she’s had an amazing secret. Since she was 6 years old, Clare has had an imaginary friend: a kind and funny man, sometimes old, sometimes young, who appears in the woods behind her house and tells her tales of the future.” Over time she grows into a beautiful young woman and realizes her friend is not imaginary but a time traveler, visiting from the future. One day she’s going to meet a young man called Henry, who she will know every well but will not recognize her, and she will become the time traveler’s wife.

Henry has a secret condition that allows him to travel time. When he is stressed or worried he travels into the past or future naked. He can be stuck there for minutes or months, he does not know. His life is a rollercoaster of constant danger and survival.

‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ Production

“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,” Moffat said at the time of the series’ sale to HBO. “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.”
