The upcoming eight-part series, based on the 2024 novel You Are Here by One Day writer David Nicholls, will follow the story of Michael and Marnie, two divorceés who join friends on a coast-to-coast hike across the UK.
Making their way across the tricky coastline, complete with unpredictable weather and unexpected changes to their plans, Michael and Marnie find romance when they're least looking for it – although it might be just what each of them needs.
The pair previously worked together on 2008's Little Dorrit, another BBC adaptation mini-series.
Normal People director Lenny Abrahamson has joined the project, while author Nicholls is adapting his story for the screen – continuing a trend set by previous adaptations of his works, with Nicholls writing the screenplays for 2006 film Starter for 10, the 2011 film adaptation of One Day and several episodes of the One Day Netflix series in 2024.
"I’ve been a huge admirer of director Lenny Abrahamson’s work for a long time, and I couldn’t be happier to be working with Claire Foy and Matthew Macfadyen as Marnie and Michael.
"Despite all the dialogue (because of all the dialogue) it has been a tough book to adapt – so much is unexpressed, and that’s in part the theme of the book, the difficulty of saying what one really feels. But that’s also the pleasure of adaptation and the thrill of working with amazing actors."
"Everyone is investing in waterproofs. I'll keep you posted here, but for now, I couldn't be more excited."
"The novel is such a beautiful love story – funny, profound and ultimately deeply hopeful. I’m also extremely excited to have Claire and Matthew, two actors I hugely admire, playing Michael and Marnie.”
