The former Doctor Who boss is penning the project based on Audrey Niffenegger's novel of the same name. “I read Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife many years ago, and I fell in love with it," says Moffat. "In fact, I wrote a Doctor Who episode called 'The Girl In The Fireplace' as a direct response to it. When, in her next novel, Audrey had a character watching that very episode, I realized she was probably on to me. All these years later, the chance to adapt the novel itself, is a dream come true. The brave new world of long form television is now ready for this kind of depth and complexity. It’s a story of happy ever after – but not necessarily in that order.”
