The series ‘The widow’ has been keeping individuals on their seats since it aired. Though the show looks familiar to some who are movie savvy. We look at if the movie is truly based on a real story or plain fictional.
The series is airing both on the British channel ITV and on Amazon Prime in the U.S.. Is a collaboration between the two networks. But the plot seems to be entirely fictional — The Widow is written by brothers Harry and Jack Williams, who previously penned the British series The Missing, among other shows.
However, it wasn’t just the length of the filming that proved challenging — the sheer heat was also difficult for Beckinsale.
“It was incredibly hot — so hot that I ended up getting taken to the hospital one day for passing out!” she told Deadline Magazine. “I just keeled over into this very nice, huge actor, which was lucky.”
The previews show her character running around the Congolese jungle in search of Will, who she’s convinced faked his death.
So although ‘The Widow’ isn’t a true story, that may prove to be a good thing, depending on what really happened to Will. Whether he faked his own death, someone else did, or he really has been dead this whole time? You’ll have to watch to find out.
