Nancy Meyers Reacts to Reports of ‘The Holiday’ Limited Series at Apple TV+: ‘News to Me’

Nancy Meyers doesn’t seem to be in the loop on matters relating to one of her most beloved films.

On Friday, Aug. 1, reports circulated that The Holiday, which starred Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black, is being revisited, this time as a limited series.

PEOPLE can confirm that Apple TV+ will adapt the film’s same concept — an ambitious American woman (Diaz) house swaps with a heartbroken British woman (Winslet) and both of them fall in love in the most unexpected way — with new characters and stars.

Rob Delaney is on board the project as writer, and Sweetpea’s Krissie Ducker will executive produce, the outlet reported.

PEOPLE has reached out to Apple TV+ for comment.

Deadline was the first to report the news.

The news came as a shock to Meyers, who spoke out about the report in a post on her Instagram Stories.

“News to me,” Meyers wrote over a screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter article about the limited series adaptation. “Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.”

This is not the first time that Meyers has weighed in on reports of the beloved 2006 film being revisited.

In 2022, the director shut down sequel rumors swiftly on Instagram, as she wrote in a comment on a post reporting that a sequel was getting made with the original main cast all returning: “So many DM’s about this — sorry but it’s not true. ❤️.”

Shortly afterwards, Winslet herself weighed in on the speculation.

“I read something about that, but it’s the first I’ve heard of it,” she told PEOPLE. “I promise you, not an agent or a representative or anyone from the first one around has had any conversation with me about that. Hand on heart, that’s never come up.”

The original cast will not reprise their roles in the limited series, per the report, despite several stars having expressed interest in returning to the world.

Law, who played the brother of Winslet’s Iris and love interest of Diaz’s Amanda, has been particularly vocal about his desire to revisit the magic of The Holiday.

Last year, Law, 52, said, “Why not?” when asked about the possibility of a sequel. “I love the idea,” he told E! News.

He even offered up some ideas on where he thinks his character would be today. “I think Graham still has cardigans and glasses, and reads,” he said. “He’s probably worried sick about the girls, right? [His] daughters will be 28, 29.”

Law admitted, though, that he’d “have to ask” Meyers to get the real answer on a sequel.

Despite not having any plans to revisit the world, Meyers has been known to tease fans of the movie.

She and Law reunited for lunch in December, and she posted a video on Instagram from the reunion.

“Look who I’m having lunch with today. Jude Law! Congratulations on your so well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That’s amazing,” she told the actor in the video.

“I don’t think I’ve seen you since we wrapped The Holiday,” Meyers admitted, before she brought up the sequel rumors.

“Speaking of which, I’ve seen you interviewed a lot, and they keep asking you if there’s going to be a sequel. What do you think?”

In response, Law made a hilariously adorable reference to his Mr. Napkin Head character from the film. It was obvious that his bit delighted Meyers, but it didn’t offer fans any real answer to the question of a sequel.
