Steven Moffat to Adapt ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ Series for HBO

Steven Moffat just can’t seem to let go of time travel.

The former Doctor Who showrunner only just recently passed the reins of the long-running science fiction series to new head executive Chris Chibnall, and he’s apparently already back at the whole wibley wobbly timey wimey thing.

Moffat will adapt a new TV version of Audrey Niffenegger’s bestselling novel, The Time Traveler’s Wife for HBO. This magical love story follows the marriage of Henry and Claire, whose relationship faces a unique problem – the fact that Henry possesses a genetic condition that causes him to bounce back and forth through time. Subsequently, the pair comes at their relationship from two different directions, and the resulting shifting storylines are simultaneously frustrating, heartbreaking and swoon-worthy.
