The Time Traveler's Wife is a science fiction romantic drama[1] television series based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger.[1] The series was developed and written by Steven Moffat, who had previously taken inspiration from Niffenegger's novel for his work on the science fiction series Doctor Who.[4] It was directed by David Nutter, stars Rose Leslie and Theo James, and premiered on HBO on May 15, 2022.[5] The series was canceled after one season in July 2022.[6] The fans of the show started a petition to save the series by approaching other streaming platforms to pick it up for renewal.[7] It was removed from HBO Max in December 2022.[8]
Blending romance and science fiction,[1] the series follows the relationship between Henry DeTamble, a man with a genetic disorder which causes him to sporadically travel through time for short periods, and Clare Abshire, a woman who met an older version of Henry when she was a girl who told her they were married in the future.[9] Much like the novel on which it is based, the series raises questions about determinism, free will, and identity.[10]
