LIFE AFTER LIFE SERIES
BBC ANNOUNCES CAST!
BBC has announced their cast for a four episode small screen adaptation of LIFE AFTER LIFE book by Kate Atkinson. Thomasin McKenzie plays Ursula Todd, who is born to Sylvie and Hugh (Sian Clifford and James McArdle) one night in 1910, but dies before she draws her first breath.
On that same night in 1910, Ursula is reborn and survives. Time and time again,
living and dying in different circumstances, Ursula is reborn into a new, alternative iteration of life once more.
This compelling story follows Ursula as she navigates each new life, through a critical era which spans two world wars, an encounter with Hitler and major life events. But what is it that Ursula so desperately needs to stay alive for?
Can a perfect life ever be lived? Can the course of history ever be changed? Can Ursula save the world? Jessica Brown Findlay will also star.

God, I don't want to come back over and over again. Once in this world is enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI'd gladly come back for McArdle for example.
DeleteThen you can have any of my extra lives if you're promised all the cuties in your next lives. I'd just rather rest peacefully all by my lonesome for the rest of eternity.
DeleteI feel like I've already been lonesome for all the eternity, so I need me a change.
DeleteI feel like I'm just a weary old soul that attracts all the people. Maybe I've just been here far too long and other souls recognize that and are compelled to gravitate towards it? I'm ready to be left in solitude for a change. Minus haunting your house and rearranging your tea stash for fun though, of course.
DeleteHope you'll put some new ones in too beside the rearranging game LOL
DeleteI'll try my best :)
DeleteYou must.
DeleteThis sounds really interesting. I might read the book first!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bestseller, ugly covers, though.
DeleteThis is a hard pass for me. All those timelines may get hard to keep straight after a while and all that death sounds depressing.
ReplyDeleteBut it does sound very original.
