Rose Leslie and Theo James to Star in Steven Moffat's 'The Time Traveler's Wife'
Sanditon's Theo James and Game of Thrones' Rose Leslie have been tapped to star in Steven Moffat's upcoming adaptation of the bestselling novel The Time Traveler's Wife.
The series, which is being produced by HBO, will reunite two actors who both appeared in the first season of megahit period drama Downton Abbey - James played Kemal Pamuk, Lady Mary's unfortunate paramour who died in her bed, while Leslie played housemaid Gwen Dawson, who dreamed of a life with more meaning than tidying up after the Crawleys.
James most recently starred in the Jane Austen adaptation Sanditon, which was unceremoniously canceled after just a single season. Leslie, for her part, just wrapped up a three-year run on CBS All Access drama The Good Fight. Unfortunately for Sanditon fans, James' casting here likely puts a bullet in those rumors that a revival of the Austen series was secretly in the works, but he and Leslie are poised to tell an even more heartwrenching romantic tale here.
