The Time Traveler’s Wife has been keeping us all on our toes. The brilliant adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger novel of the same name ended on quite the cliffhanger that makes us want to go back and revisit the series all over again. The 2009 movie is surely no help in curing the ever-burning desire to feel what the latest HBO Max miniseries made us all go through- love, pain, desire and fate, all at once.
But, if you look hard enough, there are other shows which revolve around a similar theme and might just be the perfect thing to binge on until there is The Time Traveler’s Wife Season 2. We are here to help you through this short but, exciting list of series that you will love if you are a fan of the Rose Leslie-Theo James show. Check out the list below!

Beforeigners
Think of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow but, much more complicated and deep. Beforeigners is a Norwegian television series that starts off as a crime drama but, over its course turns into something humane and heartfelt. The series is created and written by Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjørnstad, and directed by Jens Lien.
The first Norwegian-language series produced by the Nordic region channel of HBO, IMDb describes the series’ plot as “Beforeigners is about two persons who mysteriously appear in Oslo. They are the first of many from the past to seek refuge in the present time. Seven years later the community is transformed.” The cast includes Nicolai Cleve Broch, Krista Kosonen, Tobias Santelmann, Hedda Stiernstedt, Ragnhild Gudbrandsen and others.
