The BBC and AMC's Sundance Now have acquired the TV adaptation of "The Last Anniversary." The book is authored by Liane Moriarty. Moriarty is best known for writing "Big Little Lies." The cast members of the adaptation include Teresa Palmer ("The Clearing," "A Discovery of Witches," "The Fall Guy"), Miranda Richardson ("Good Omens," "Spider"), and Danielle Macdonald ("The Tourist," "Patti Cake$"). After successfully acquiring another Moriarty adaptation, "Apples Never Fall," the BBC has secured "The Last Anniversary" for iPlayer through a collaboration with distributor Fifth Season, while AMC is set to showcase it on the Sundance Now streaming service.
Here is a statement from Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Program Acquisition, about the purchase:
“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.”
Here is a statement from Prentiss Fraser, President of Television Distribution at Fifth Season, about the purchase:
“Pre-sales and co-productions have always been a fundamental strength of the Fifth Season business and now more than ever are top of mind for producers and commissioners around the world – I’m thrilled the team secured these tentpole partnerships for The Last Anniversary."
Here is the goodreads synopsis of The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty:
Sophie Honeywell always wondered if Thomas Gordon was the one she let get away. He was the perfect boyfriend, but on the day he was to propose, she broke his heart. A year later he married his travel agent, while Sophie has been mortifyingly single ever since. Now Thomas is back in her life because Sophie has unexpectedly inherited his aunt Connie's house on Scribbly Gum Island -- home of the famously unsolved Munro Baby mystery.
Sophie moves onto the island and begins a new life as part of an unconventional family where it seems everyone has a secret. Grace, a beautiful young mother, is feverishly planning a shocking escape from her perfect life. Margie, a frumpy housewife, has made a pact with a stranger, while dreamy Aunt Rose wonders if maybe it's about time she started making her own decisions.
As Sophie's life becomes increasingly complicated, she discovers that sometimes you have to stop waiting around -- and come up with your own fairy-tale ending.
As she so adroitly did in her smashing debut novel, Three Wishes, the incomparable Liane Moriarty once again combines sharp wit, lovable and eccentric characters, and a page-turning story for an unforgettable Last Anniversary.
