A new series based on the beloved 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday is in the works at Apple TV+.
The Holiday, directed by Nancy Meyers, starred Cameron Diaz as Amanda, a single American woman, and Kate Winslet as Iris, a single British woman.
The two women swap homes during the Christmas season and unexpectedly find love after heartbreak with Amanda meeting Graham, played by Jude Law, and Iris connecting with Miles, portrayed by Jack Black.
The film quickly became a hit and is now a Christmas classic.
The new TV series version of The Holiday is expected to keep the storyline but will introduce viewers to new characters.
Writer Krissie Ducker is set to executive produce, and actor and comedian Rob Delaney is attached to write the new series, which will be produced with Left Bank Pictures.

The upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, focuses on the making of the rocker’s 1982 album Nebraska, but some may be wondering why it isn’t a full-blown biopic on The Boss.
The movie is based on Warren Zanes’ book Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. The film’s director, Scott Cooper, tells Entertainment Weekly that he liked the “intimacy” of the source material.
“It wasn’t about Bruce Springsteen, the icon and stadium-filling rock star,” Cooper tells the mag. “It was about Bruce alone in a rented house, trying to understand himself and his unresolved trauma through song.”
He adds that the book “captured the tension between the myth of Bruce Springsteen and the man.”
“That’s where the film lived for me,” he says. “Not in the spectacle, but in the silence, the hesitation, the uncertainty. I saw a cinematic portrait of an artist who was willing to strip himself bare.”
Cooper says the film “isn’t a typical musical biopic,” noting he didn’t want to tell Bruce’s entire story.
“It’s about honoring this particular moment — the stillness, the searching, and the emotional honesty,” he tells EW.
Cooper also had a personal reason for wanting to make a film about Nebraska.
“Nebraska was my entry into Bruce Springsteen. I was immediately struck by its minimalist quality, its power,” he says. “It seemed to come from some of the same world that I was accustomed to. You could tell that these were songs that meant something to somebody.”
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce and Jeremy Strong as his manager Jon Landau, opens in theaters Oct. 24.
It looks like Ike Barinholtz will take on the role of Elon Musk.
The actor is in negotiations to star as the businessman and former senior adviser to the president of the United States in Luca Guadagnino‘s upcoming film Artificial, ABC Audio has learned.
If cast, Barinholtz would join the previously announced Andrew Garfield, Anora breakout Yura Borisov and Cooper Koch in the movie.
While the film’s plot is being kept under wraps, it is described as a comedic drama set in the world of artificial intelligence.
Simon Rich wrote the film’s script. He will also produce along with David Heyman, Jeffrey Clifford and Jennifer Fox.
Artificial marks the third collaboration between Guadagnino and Amazon MGM Studios. He directed the 2024 film Challengers for the studio, as well as the upcoming movie After the Hunt, which arrives in theaters on Oct. 10.
After the Hunt follows a college professor at a crossroads and will star Garfield, Julia Roberts and Ayo Edebiri. It will also serve as the opening night film at the 63rd New York Film Festival on Sept. 26.
