- *The Holiday* is receiving a limited series at Apple TV+.

- Nancy Meyers, the writer/director behind the original 2006 movie, shaded the announcement of the project on Instagram.

- Meyers previously shot down rumors that a sequel to the movie was in the works with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet.

*The Holiday *is getting a TV series — but Nancy Meyers doesn't sound too happy about it.

The filmmaker, who wrote and directed the 2006 Christmas rom-com of the same name, reacted to the announcement that Apple TV+ is adapting her movie into a limited series.

"News to me," Meyers wrote in an Instagram Story atop a screenshot of a *Hollywood Reporter* post about the TV show. "Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw. 🤔"

*The Holiday* limited series on Apple TV+ will be written and executive produced by Krissie Ducker (*Sweetpea*) and will see input from Rob Delaney (*Catastrophe*) as a consultant, ** has learned. Deadline first reported the news, noting that Meyers has no involvement in the project, and that well-known actresses are being considered for the lead roles.

Meyers' *The Holiday* starred Cameron Diaz as a workaholic movie trailer editor in Los Angeles and Kate Winslet as a London journalist pining after her ex-slash-coworker. The two women spontaneously decide to do a house swap and each fall in love with a local across the pond. Diaz is paired up with Jude Law, who played Winslet's character's brother, while Winslet couples with Jack Black, a charismatic musician.

The original *Holiday* grossed over $200 million at the global box office, making it Meyers' fourth-biggest hit as a director (behind *What Women Want*, *Something's Gotta Give*, and *It's Complicated*).

*The Holiday* has maintained a sizable following since its original release, as its Christmastime setting has inspired consistent wintertime rewatches among rom-com fans.

However, despite the film's continued popularity, Meyers confirmed that she has no plans to revisit the movie in 2022. The filmmaker shot down rumors that Diaz and Winslet had boarded a sequel in an Instagram post.

"So many DM's about this. Sorry but it's not true," Meyers wrote in a caption of a Daily Mail screenshot claiming that the original cast would return for a sequel.

The director also recently revealed that she didn't expect the film to become a Christmas classic. "I never thought it would be, you know, a movie that you watched during the holidays.... Didn't think of it that way," she told the *Hollywood Gold *podcast. "I just really wanted to tell the story about these people. I set it at Christmas because that can be lonely. As I noted to myself last night while I was watching, they're all damaged."

Meyers has not directed a film since 2015's *The Intern*. She attempted to helm a new project, tentatively titled *Paris Paramount*, for Netflix, but the project stalled after disagreements on the budget. Scarlett Johansson, Owen Wilson, Penélope Cruz, and Michael Fassbender were all reportedly in talks to star in the film.
