HBO has stopped The Time Traveler’s Wife in its tracks after one season.
Despite hopes for a second season, reuniting us with the oddly troubled Clare Abshire (Rose Leslie) and Henry DeTamble (Theo James) – who uncontrollably bounces around the spacetime continuum – the US network announced that it won’t be going forward with another series this week (via TVLine).
“Though HBO will not be moving forward with the second season of The Time Traveler’s Wife, it was our privilege to partner with master storytellers Steven Moffat and David Nutter.

“We are so grateful for their passion, hard work and care for adapting this beloved book. We also thank Theo and Rose, and the rest of our brilliant cast for their heartfelt performances, which completely captivated audiences,” read HBO’s statement.
Season 1 adapted less than half of Audrey Niffenegger’s original novel, with showrunner Moffat previously teasing how there was a vision for its TV future.
“I had a plan about how many seasons we’d do — not telling you! — and where each one would end and how far you’d take it,” the former Doctor Who producer told TVLine.

“There is enough juice in the book for more than just one [season]. But at the same time, I would still call it a limited series because it can’t go on forever. It has to stop.
“We already know a fair bit about how it ends. By Episode 3, you know he’s going to get shot in a forest. You know he’s going to lose his feet at some point. So it’s a story of destiny, I guess. The end is built into the beginning,” he further explained.
Another one bites the dust.
