The Time Traveler’s Wife TV

8/19/09 - ABC will team up with Marta Kauffman and Warner Brothers Television to adapt The Time Traveler’s Wife as a weekly TV series, according to TheWrap.com.  ABC's interest in the adaptation substantially pre-dates the movie, however. The network has been talking to Kauffman "for years" about bringing the project to the small screen.  Kauffman will write and executive produce.  ABC executives believe the complex plot of the original novel will work well in series form, since Kauffman will be able to explore the romantic relationship at the core of the story over the course of several seasons.  Individual episodes will likely feature self-contained storylines as well.  ABC has given Warner TV a pilot commitment for The Time Traveler's Wife.
