BBC Series Life After Life Stars Fleabag's Sian Clifford

BBC's New Adaptation, Life After Life, Stars Fleabag's Sian Clifford

BBC will be adapting the bestselling novel by Kate Atkinson, Life After Life, into a four-part series that's set for release on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The book was previously shortlisted for a Women's Prize for Fiction and won a Costa Book Award in 2013, so we know it's going to be good. Starring Fleabag's Sian Clifford, Derry Girls's Maria Laird, and Small Axe star Joshua Hill, the story follows a main character called Ursula who dies before she's able to take her first breath.

Set in 1910, the series follows Ursula as she's born and reborn again and again, across a period that spans not one but two world wars. She finds herself face to face with Hitler himself, and the series explores her journey as she tries to navigate a new life each time. Clifford is set to play Sylvie — Ursula's mother — and stars alongside James McArdle who will play Ursula's father, and Thomasin McKenzie, who will play Ursula.

Details of a release date have yet to be announced, but we expect to see the series landing on our screen pretty soon. Keep your eyes peeled for future updates.
