‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’: Theo James & Rose Leslie Cast In HBO Series Adaptation

It’s been nearly three years since we last heard any news of Steven Moffat‘s adaptation of “The Time Traveler’s Wife” being ordered to series back, and now we know who is playing the titular time traveler and his wife.

Theo James and Rose Leslie have been cast as Henry and Clare, your typical marriage with issues anyone can relate to, like time travel. You see, Henry has a genetic disorder that makes him travel through time involuntarily, and one day he meets Clare, a girl who claims she’s known him all her life. If any of this sounds familiar, then the involvement of “Doctor Who” writer-producer Steven Moffat will not sound surprising.

The series was first ordered back in the summer of 2018, with Moffat serving as executive producer and writer, penning the adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger‘s novel of the same name. “The Time Traveler’s Wife” was already turned into a feature film back in 2009, which starred Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana.

HBO describes the character of Clare as “fiery, clever and unstoppable.” Ever since she was six 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… As the years pass, and she grows into a beautiful young woman, she starts to realize her friend is not imaginary – he’s a time traveler, visiting from the future.”

Meanwhile, the aforementioned time traveler Henry lives as “a rollercoaster of constant danger and white-knuckle survival… until one day he meets a beautiful redhead in the library where he works. Her name is Clare Abshire and although he’s never seen her before, she claims to have known him all her life.”

There is currently no release date for “The Time Traveler’s Wife” but production is expected to start soon.
