Due Law has admitted he was unaware of the project and has no intentions to reprise his role as Graham in the upcoming TV series based on The Holiday.
Jude Law would only consider returning to his role in The Holiday if director Nancy Meyers gets involved. Just like Meyers, the 52 year old star had no clue about a fresh Apple TV+ limited series based on the 2006 romantic comedy Christmas favourite, and confesses he has zero intentions of coming back as Graham.
He revealed to Craig Melvin on the Today Show that he had heard of it. I have no knowledge of it. Nothing, besides that I don’t believe I’m a part of it. I’m not sure.
Have you heard about this, Nancy wrote to me, “I believe she asked me.” Literally. “

Law is unsure whether or not his character will be a part of the series. When asked about potential reprising the role, he replied, “Nancy Meyers would have to be involved.” She performed the magic that brought everything together.
Rob Delaney and Krissie Ducker will produce the upcoming series. For the moment, the cache information is kept secret.
Meyers insisted she was kept in the dark about the series, posting on her Instagram Stories: “News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.”
The beloved movie follows two broken-hearted women, Iris [Kate Winslet] and Amanda [Cameron Diaz] who live apart before finding love with Graham and Miles [Jack Black], respectively.
Meyers has previously refrained from making up any speculation about sequels, and she recently admitted she had no idea when the movie would become a cherished Christmas classic. On the Hollywood Gold podcast, the director admitted, “I never thought it would be a movie you watched over the holidays.” I didn’t consider it that way.
“I just wanted to tell these people’s stories,” I said. Because that can be lonely, I put it on Christmas. They all have damage, as I pointed out to myself last night as I watched.
A new Netflix crime thriller that just came out stars Jude right now. It takes place amid the underworld of New York.
In Black Rabbit, the British actor is a co-star. Jason Bateman, who is well-known for his roles in Ozark and Arrested Development, is another actor in the production.
The protagonist of the story follows the hottest restaurant in New York, which allows his troubled brother to leave the family business. He opens the door to both old wounds and new dangers that threaten to destroy everything they’ve built during this period.
The Black Rabbit production was shot on location in New York, according to Netflix Junkies. Instead of using footage that was exclusively produced on a sound stage, it claims it gives the show a much more grounded feel.
Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the streets around Coney Island are among the places of interest. At one point, Bateman was pictured in full costume, which prompted many questions because he appeared nearly unrecognizable in previous roles.
