BBC to air The Last Anniversary, the forthcoming adaptation of Liane Moriarty's best-selling novel

Teresa Palmer, Miranda Richardson and Danielle Macdonald lead the cast in the six-part comedy drama

The BBC has acquired the forthcoming adaptation of Liane Moriarty's best-selling novel, The Last Anniversary. The six-part series is made by Blossom Films, Made Up Stories and FIFTH SEASON for BINGE, in association with the BBC.

The Last Anniversary is a comedy drama wrapped in a gripping mystery about family, motherhood and the women who define the generations that come after them.

The cast is led by Teresa Palmer (The Clearing, A Discovery of Witches, The Fall Guy), Miranda Richardson (Good Omens, Spider) and Danielle Macdonald (The Tourist, Patti Cake$), with Helen Thomson (Elvis, Colin From Accounts), Susan Prior (Animal Kingdom, Puberty Blues), Claude Scott-Mitchell (The Dry, Hotel Portofino), Charlie Garber (Barons, The Outlaw Michael Howe), Uli Latukefu (Young Rock, Next Goal Wins) and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor (Force of Nature: The Dry 2, Puberty Blues).

Moriarty's story is set on Scribbly Gum Island, a place of many secrets. The one that made it famous - the disappearance of a young couple decades ago - might have made the island a destination for true crime tourists, but when it comes to secrets, the three generations of women that call Scribbly Gum home, hold far more.

When Sophie Honeywell (Teresa Palmer) inherits a house on the island, left to her by her ex-boyfriend's great-aunt Connie, it's the fresh start she's craving, despite the unwelcome reception she receives on arrival. Single and approaching 40, Sophie is intrigued by something else Connie left her - a promise that she might finally find the man of her dreams...

Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, says: "The Last Anniversary is an entertaining drama full of vivid characters, comedy and romance, with a compelling mystery at its heart - I'm sure BBC viewers will thoroughly enjoy their visit to beautiful Scribbly Gum Island."

The lead writer is Samantha Strauss (Nine Perfect Strangers, Dance Academy) and the director is John Polson (Law & Order: Organized Crime, Tell Me Your Secrets).

Bruna Papandrea, Jodi Matterson and Steve Hutensky are executive producing and Casey Haver co-executive producing for Made Up Stories with Per Saari and Nicole Kidman executive producing for Blossom Films alongside Alison Hurbert-Burns and Lana Greenhalgh for BINGE. Strauss, Polson and Liane Moriarty are executive producers. Sarah L. Walker serves as script producer.

The Last Anniversary (6x45') is commissioned by the Foxtel Group for BINGE, in association with the BBC. The series is supported by the NSW Government through Screen NSW's Made in NSW Fund.
