The Last Anniversary, a new mystery drama based on Liane Moriarty’s bestselling novel, is coming to AMC+ in the US and Canada on Sunday, March 30. New episodes of the six-part series will be released weekly on Sundays.
Here’s the Lowdown: The story centers on Sophie Honeywell (Teresa Palmer), who inherits a house on the secretive Scribbly Gum Island. The island is known for the decades-old disappearance of a young couple, which means the island is something of a true crime tourist attraction. But after a frosty welcome, Sophie starts digging into the island’s past, uncovering a network of family secrets involving three generations of women.
What This Means Now: Fans of Moriarty’s other works, like Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, will likely find this new adaptation equally compelling. With a strong cast including Miranda Richardson, Danielle Macdonald and Claude Scott-Mitchell, and production from the teams behind those previous hits, The Last Anniversary aims for the same level of success.
The Bigger Picture: The series appears to be a classic mystery, set in an isolated location, dealing with complicated family relationships and long-buried secrets. The involvement of established production companies (Fifth Season, Made Up Stories, and Blossom Films) and a writing team led by Samantha Strauss, with John Polson directing all episodes, points to a high-quality production. The show is scheduled to arrive on March 30, and will stream exclusively on AMC+.
