Amazon will join BBC One when creating the screening of the book Nancy Mitford "In Search of Love". The project consisting of three one-hour series is one of the first to shoot in the UK after quarantine.
"In search of love", written by Mitford in 1945, talks about the events occurring in Europe between the two world wars. Linda Radlett (Lily James) and her best friend and cousin Fanny Logan (Emily Bichch) hunt for an ideal husband. At some point, their friendship is subject to a serious test when Fanny chooses a stable life, and Linda decides to follow the call of the heart.
Dominic West and Dolly Wells will play Linda's parents. Andrew Scott will be a rich and eccentric neighbor of the Radlett family, Lord Merlin. The role of unfortunate candidates for the grooms Linda and Fanny will perform Assad Baub, Latifa and Freddie Fox.
Emily Mortimer will be simultaneously screenwriter, director, as well as the performer of the role of Mother Fanny. She speaks about the project:
I always loved the work of Nancy Mitford, so when I was asked to adapt her novel, I could not say no. This is an incredibly funny and honest story, the main character of which still looks current. It is a great honor for me to become the director of this series.
