The show is an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes From A Marriage". Bergman's version aired on Swedish television in 1973, consisting of six episodes. Bergman directed the series, which featured Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson.
It is being said that the new version will re-examine the original show's depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.
Chastain and Isaac will also executive produce the project. Hagai Levi is on board to write, direct, and executive produce.
