Scenes From a Marriage has released its first trailer and Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain deal with the complexities of love.
The series is a remake of the original 1973 miniseries written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. Scenes From a Marriage was based on Bergman’s own relationship with Liv Ullmann and it followed a wealthy married couple across a decade with everything from the relationship’s ending to the reconciliation.
The modern-day adaptation is co-created, written, and directed by Hagai Levi. This version aims to re-look at the show’s depiction of intense emotions, marriage, and divorce through the eyes of a contemporary American couple.
Chastain and Isaac previously worked together on A Most Violent Year. Chastain replaced Michelle Williams, who exited due to scheduling conflicts. This will be the actresses’ first notable TV appearance since the start of her career. She’s next set to star in The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
Isaac’s next roles are in Dune and The Card Counter.
Chastain and Isaac will also be executive producing with Michael Ellenberg, Amy Herzog, Lars Blomgren, Daniel Bergman, and Blair Breard.
The series will debut on HBO on September 12. Watch the trailer below.
