HBO finally premiered its television adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife back in May, nearly four years after it was initially announced in 2018 with forming Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat at the helm. Despite adapting a popular novel that already inspired a successful film, the six-episode first season was broken by criticsand now the network has officially confirmed that there won’t be a second season.
The series (which you can find streaming with an HBO Max subscription) brought Rose Leslie back to HBO after appearing in Game Of Thrones as Ygrittewhile Theo James returned to TV for the project after leaving Sanditon following just one season as leading man. Both actors were mentioned in HBO’s statement (via EW) about the cancellation:
Though HBO will not be moving forward with a second season of The Time Traveler’s Wife, it was our privilege to partner with master storytellers Steven Moffat and David Nutter. We are so grateful for their passion, hard work and care for adapting this beloved book. We also thank Theo and Rose, and the rest of our brilliant cast for their heartfelt performances, which completely captivated audiences.
