“The Time Traveler’s Wife,” a new TV adaptation of the 2003 novel, premieres May 15 on HBO and HBO Max.
The series mixes elements of science fiction and romance to tell an unusual love story.
HBO Max costs $10/month for ad-supported streaming or $15/month for ad-free streaming.

HBO’s latest original series, “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” premieres on May 15 at 9 p.m. ET. The new show is the second adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 bestselling novel of the same name; the first was a 2009 movie starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana. 

Rose Leslie (“Game of Thrones”) and Theo James (“Divergent”) star as Clare and Henry. The show follows the couple as they meet and fall in love while dealing with one very unusual complication: Henry often travels through time and has no control over his destination. This causes each of them to experience key moments of their relationship in a completely different order.
