'Darling Buds of May' Remake 'The Larkins' Arrives on Acorn TV This December
Just in time for the holiday season, The Larkins, the buzzy new adaptation of classic period series The Darling Buds of May, is heading to America, thanks to streaming service Acorn TV.
The original adaptation of H.E Bates' classic novel first aired thirty years ago and became one of ITV’s all-time highest-rated television comedy dramas. This new version is adapted by acclaimed screenwriter Simon Nye, who also brought us four seasons of the heartwarming drama The Durrells in Corfu, and aims to capture the warmth, optimism, and escapism of the Larkin family for a modern generation.
The series follows the wheeler-dealing adventures of the iconic Larkin family in the idyllic Kent countryside. Set in the late 1950s, each episode contains a story of the week concerning their personal family sagas, and the politics of their village life alongside series arc stories.
