The sun-soaked pages of T.M. Logan's chilling bestselling novel, The Holiday, are coming to life in a major new television adaptation. Channel 5 has commissioned a gripping four-part thriller series that promises to be your next must-watch obsession.
The story follows Kate, a woman whose dream family holiday in the south of France rapidly descends into a waking nightmare. She becomes convinced that her husband is having an affair with one of her closest friends. Trapped in a luxurious villa far from home, Kate is plunged into a tense game of cat and mouse, where paranoia escalates and dark secrets simmer beneath the surface of seemingly perfect lives.
The production is a powerhouse collaboration. The series is being adapted by the BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Sophie Petzal, known for her work on gripping dramas like Bloodlands and The Pale Horse. The project is helmed by the acclaimed production company Clapperboard, the team behind the recent successful adaptation of Logan's The Catch, also for Channel 5.
While the scorching setting and psychological tension are sure to hook audiences, the all-important casting for the lead roles of Kate and her friend Rowan remains tightly under wraps. This key announcement is highly anticipated, as the complex dynamics between these characters are the very heart of the story's compelling drama.
This adaptation continues the successful partnership between Channel 5 and T.M. Logan's work, proving the enduring appeal of his talent for weaving ordinary settings with extraordinary suspense. Viewers should prepare for a holiday where the greatest danger isn't the heat, but the people you think you know best.
