The Last Anniversary is coming to BBC One this weekend, having originally aired in Australia back in March. The six-episode series is set on an island of many secrets.
One of the most famous stories from the island is about the disappearance of a young couple decades ago. Sophie Honeywell mysteriously inherits a house on the island, in need of a fresh start.
However, she is not made to feel very welcome when she arrives at the home, left to her by her ex-boyfriend's great-aunt Connie. Nicole Kidman and production partner Per Saari first discussed adapting the novel in 2019, but it only entered 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.
