\n\tNot quite the early Christmas surprise that Nancy Meyers<\/a> was expecting, The Holiday<\/a> is getting a limited series reboot.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Deadline exclusively revealed Friday that Apple TV<\/a>+ is developing a series<\/a> based on Meyers\u2019 2006 holiday romantic comedy, the writer and director said she was unaware of the adaptation until she saw the announcement.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNews to me,\u201d wrote Meyers on her Instagram Story with coverage of the limited series. \u201cImagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA box office hit during the 2006 Christmas season, The Holiday followed Iris (Kate Winslet), a columnist in London, and Amanda (Cameron Diaz), a movie trailer editor in Los Angeles, who initiate a house swap for a much-needed change of scenery. The movie also starred Jude Law and Jack Black.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline previously reported that Meyers has no involvement<\/a> with the upcoming adaptation, which reboots the premise of the film with new characters, keeping the setup of the movie about a single American and single British woman living very different lives who swap their houses for the holidays and find love in the process.<\/p>\n

\n\tKrissie Ducker (Sweetpea) is writer\/executive producer for the series, produced by Left Bank Pictures, with Rob Delaney (Catastrophe) also brought on as a consultant.<\/p>\n

\n\tSearch is underway for well-known actresses to play the leads, with the first offers sent out on both sides of the Atlantic. If\/when stars are locked in, the limited series, which comes from Apple TV+<\/a>\u2018s UK team, is expected to get a green light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not quite the early Christmas surprise that Nancy Meyers was expecting, The Holiday is getting a limited series…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[5896,236,88,41076,41077],"class_list":{"0":"post-54016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-apple-tv","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-nancy-meyers","12":"tag-the-holiday"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
