Nobody bothered to shoot Nancy Meyers a text? The undisputed queen of the rom-com claimed in an Instagram post on August 1 that nobody told her about a planned Apple TV+ limited-series adaptation of her film The Holiday. “News to me,” she posted on her Instagram Story. “Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the post I saw.” Meyers, who wrote, produced, and directed the original film, previously denied that a sequel was in the works after rumors cropped up in 2022, writing, “Sorry but it’s not true.”
Well, it’s true now! Killing Eve writer Krissie Ducker is executive-producing and writing the new project, with Left Bank Pictures, per The Hollywood Reporter, and Catastrophe’s Rob Delaney is consulting.
The original film focuses on an American woman (Cameron Diaz) living in Los Angeles and a British woman (Kate Winslet) living in London swapping homes and finding love over the Christmas holiday. Reportedly, the series will not follow the same characters but will keep the same premise. Apple TV+ should give Meyers the $150 million she needs to make her semi-autobiographical film Paris Paramount to apologize.
