DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC's press release, October 2024) 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... |
