John le Carré’s The Constant Gardener is getting a limited TV series adaptation with a post-pandemic twist. The project hails from The Ink Factory, with His Dark Materials and Noughts + Crosses writer Lydia Adetunji on scripting duties. The Constant Gardener TV series does not have a network or cast attached.
2005’s The Constant Gardener focuses on a widower and horticulturalist named Justin Quayle, who is determined to get to the bottom of a potentially explosive secret involving his wife’s murder, big business, and corporate corruption.

Fernando Meirelles directs the original film, with Weisz winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Tessa.

Back then, Weisz (“The Constant Gardener”) defeated Adams (“Junebug”) in the very category they’re contending in this year, Best Supporting Actress.
“Thank you so much to the academy for this tremendous, tremendous honor,” Weisz said in her speech, before thanking her co-star Ralph Fiennes, her director Fernando Meirelles and producer Simon Channing Williams. “And of course, John le Carré, who wrote this unflinching, angry story, and he really paid tribute to the people who are willing to risk their own lives to fight injustice. They’re greater men and women than I.”
Weisz, who was pregnant with her first child, nearly swept the season that year for her performance as Tessa Quayle, an Amnesty International activist who was murdered in Kenya,...
