How will the TV series be different from the film?
This is not the novel’s first adaptation, as it was previously made into a movie starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana back in 2009.
The show will be out in May
Speaking about how the show will be different, the showrunner Steven Moffat, who has previously written for Doctor Who, and is the co-creator of hit shows Sherlock and Dracula explained: "We can tell the whole story, the movie was a quite intelligently abbreviated version but abbreviating it you miss all the detail and complexity and make it all about the time travel and not about the love story."
