Written and directed by Maria Sødahl, the film centered on the relationship between artist-partners Tomas and Anja as they find their lives put to the test when the latter is diagnosed with brain cancer. The series is being described as “a complicated, blended-family drama” and will center on the central family over the course of 12 days spent together during the Christmas season and as they are confronted with the unravelling of a marriage with six children between them.

Kidman will star in and executive produce the project via her Blossom Films production banner, which has a large first-look deal with Amazon Studios, alongside the label’s Per Saari and Alice Bell (The Beautiful Lie), who is also adapting the film film into the series. This also marks the second upcoming pairing between Kidman and Bell, as the latter is currently set as co-showrunner and executive producer on the Amazon series The Expatriates alongside Melanie Marnich (The Affair, The Big C) in which Kidman will star in and executive produce.
