HBO has given a green light to Scenes From a Marriage, a limited series adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic miniseries, starring and executive produced by Oscar Isaac and Michelle Williams. It comes from Our Boys and The Affair co-creator Hagai Levi, Michael Ellenberg's Media Res and Endeavor Content.
Written and directed by Levi, the series adaptation re-examines the show's iconic depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple, played by Isaac and Williams.

Ingmar Bergman wrote and directed the original 1973 Swedish miniseries Scenes From A Marriage, which starred Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson. Bergman's teleplay, the story of a disintegration of a marriage, drew on his own experiences, including his relationship with Ullmann.
This will lack the autobiographical power of the original, but the original is one of television's great works of art, no doubt.
