Are you ready to fall in love but also cry your eyes out??
Based on the hit 2003 book of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger, which also gave us the 2009 movie with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, this new mini-series adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife – which you can stream with your NOW Entertainment Membership – is going to give viewers that old-school passionate romance mixed with its own unique brand of heartbreak.
The story revolves around love story and marriage of Henry (Theo James – Divergent, Underworld) and Clare (Game of Thrones, The Good Fight), and the difficulties that their relationship faces. Henry has a rare genetic disorder that causes him to involuntarily travel through time. So as he ages in a linear fashion, he disappears and reappears in Clare’s life when she is different ages.
But these two time-crossed lovers aren’t going to let something as monumental as literal time travel get in the way of their destiny.

The new adaptation is being entirely directed by David Nutter, who was behind some of the biggest and best episodes of Game Of Thrones, as well as some highlights for The Sopranos, The X-Files, Shameless and Entourage.
Additionally, this adaptation is being written by Stephen Moffat, the guy behind the recent resurgences of Doctor Who (with Christopher Eccleston) and Sherlock (with Benedict Cumberbatch).
They’ve also amassed a great supporting cast, including Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), Josh Stamberg (WandaVision, The Affair), Desmin Borges (You’re The Worst, Utopia) and Jaime Ray Newman (The Punisher, Dopesick).
The first episode of The Time Traveler’s Wife is available to watch with your NOW Entertainment Membership from Monday, 16 May, then stream weekly every Monday.
