Trailer For Thomasin McKenzie's LIFE AFTER LIFE Series, which Explores The Afterlife
BBC has released a trailer for a new series that’s dropping next week titled Life After Life. The project is an adaptation of the novel of the same name that was written by Kate Atkinson and the story sounds absolutely fascinating as it explores the afterlife and the meaning of life in a unique way.
The series follows Ursula Todd, “a young girl who is born one night in 1910, but dies before she is able to take her first breath. However, this doesn’t mark the end of her story, as on the same night in 1910 she is reborn and survives – an event that unfolds time and time again as she lives and dies in alternative iterations of her existence. Life After Life follows Ursula as she navigates each new life at her fingertips, across a period that spans two world wars and sees her come face to face with Hitler himself.”
The show is directed by John Crowley (Intermission, Boy A, Brooklyn, The Goldfinch). The series stars Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho) as Ursula, along with Sian Clifford, James McArdle, Jessica Brown Findlay, Jessica Hynes, Patsy Ferran, Harry Michell, Laurie Kynaston, Joshua Hill, and Maria Laird.
It looks like a great show and the series will start streaming on BBC Two on April 19th.
