TV show description:
A sci-fi romantic-drama series, The Time Traveler’s Wife is based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger and was adapted by Steven Moffat.
The story follows the out-of-order love story between Clare Abshire (Leslie), and Henry DeTamble (James). They have a marriage with a significant problem — time travel.
At six years old, Clare meets Henry, the future love of her life. Unbeknownst to her, he’s a time traveler who is actually visiting from the future. Some 14 years later, a beautiful redhead wanders into the library where Henry works. She claims to have known him all her life and to also be his future wife. From there, a magical romance ensues that is as sprawling and complicated as Henry’s attempts to explain his “condition.”
The story weaves themes of love, loss, marriage, and survival — in a story that defies the laws and logic of time.
Series Finale:
Episode #6
As his and Clare’s wedding day approaches, an increasingly stressed Henry finds unexpected comfort in his estranged father.
First aired: June 19, 2022.
