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.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Lucy-Jo Hudson is making a return to Casualty Credit: Getty 4 She had a guest appearance in the BBC show's Christmas special last December Credit: BBC 4 The actress had a three year stint on Coronation Street Credit: Rex Features Her character was at the centre of one of Corrie's most shocking storylines. The actress is now set for a return to BBC medical drama Casualty. Lucy-Jo made a guest appearance as single mum Adele Thompson in last December's Christmas special. It's currently unclear as to how the character will return but will reportedly be seen on screen again later this month. It comes just months after she teased a new acting job following months of struggling to find work. The soap star revealed how she was working as a travel agent in a side hustle to keep money coming in while she auditioned for new acting roles. In 2023, Lucy-Jo was written out of Hollyoaks having starred as Donna Marie Quinn. Meanwhile, her original Casualty episode depicted the hospital's blood shortage amid a donor emergency. Six-year-old Leah - the daughter of Lucy-Jo's character - was discovered to be severely anaemic and needed a blood transfusion. Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) later confessed to Dylan Keogh (William Beck) that she thought Leah had leukaemia but she hadn't told her mum yet. Hollyoaks star Lucy-Jo Hudson stunned as she lands new acting job She explained how maybe she can let them have Christmas together and wait until Boxing Day to give them the news. But in a heart breaking scene, Stevie informed a sobbing Adele of the truth. The screen then switched to James, a real life father whose daughter Rachel had a similar illness, and it was like a punch to the stomach for viewers. In a highly emotional scene, he explained how blood donations literally kept his daughter alive and gave her extra time to be with him. Back in the ED, the emotional journey continued when Stevie told Iain that Leah shouldn't be in hospital but should be opening Christmas presents back at home. A viewer wrote at the time: "Blimey this is harrowing. Thank you to anybody who gives blood and all the wonderful people who try to keep us alive." Another added: "I'm am an emotional wreck Xx."
