The Last Anniversary, originally aired in Australia back in March, is set to grace BBC One this weekend. The six-part series unfolds on an island shrouded in secrets.
One of the most intriguing tales from the island revolves around the disappearance of a young couple many years ago. Sophie Honeywell unexpectedly inherits a house on the island, seeking a new beginning.
However, her arrival at the home, bequeathed to her by her ex-boyfriend's great-aunt Connie, is met with less than warm reception. Nicole Kidman and production partner Per Saari first contemplated adapting the novel in 2019, but it only went into production in 2023.
The book is set on the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales, with filming for the adaptation taking place in Sydney. "The Last Anniversary is an entertaining drama full of vivid characters, comedy and romance, with a compelling mystery at its heart.
"I'm sure BBC viewers will thoroughly enjoy their visit to beautiful Scribbly Gum Island," said Sue Deeks, head of BBC programme acquisition.
