‘The Holiday’ Limited Series Based on Nancy Meyers Film in Development at Apple TV+
Apple TV+ is developing a limited-series adaptation of 2006 Nancy Meyers romantic comedy movie The Holiday, a source with knowledge of the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter.
The Meyers movie starred Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. Meyers is not involved in the adaptation — she didn’t even know about it.
“News to me,” Meyers wrote on her Instagram on Friday. “Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.”
Krissie Ducker will write and executive produce through Left Bank Pictures; Rob Delaney (Catastrophe) is a consultant.

Ducker was a writers’ assistant on Catastrophe. For Delaney, should The Holiday get an official greenlight, it will mark his return to Apple TV+ after starring in season one of Bad Monkey.
The Apple TV+ limited series will follow new characters. Like the ‘06 comedy, this version will follow a single American woman and a single British woman, living very different lives, who swap their houses for the holidays. They, of course, find love along the way.
The newcomers have yet to be cast.
The Holiday the movie was a success, earning more than $200 million at the global box office. It was distributed in the U.S. by Sony Pictures. Meyers has said that she never intended to make The Holiday a, well, holiday movie — but it certainly comes back into popular rotation each Christmas season.
Deadline first reported the news.
