Based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger
Production Companies: Hartswood Films in association with Warner Bros. Television

Steven Moffat says, "I read Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife many years ago, and I fell in love with it. In fact, I wrote a DOCTOR WHO episode called The Girl In The Fireplace as a direct response to it. When, in her next novel, Audrey had a character watching that very episode, I realised she was probably on to me. All these years later, the chance to adapt the novel itself, is a dream come true. THE BRAVE new world of long form television is now ready for this kind of depth and complexity. It's a story of happy ever after? - ?but not necessarily in that order."

Casey Bloys says, "We are thrilled to be partnering with Steven Moffat, Hartswood and WBTV on The Time Traveler's Wife. Steven's passion is evident in every project he's written and we are certain that his love and respect for this mesmerizing and textured novel will make it a quintessential HBO series".

Hartswood says,: "HBO is the perfect home to tell this incredible story with all the scale and space it needs, and we're delighted to be working with Warner Bros to bring Steven's thrilling vision of the novel to life."
