SO LONG MARIANNE

8 x EPISODES

So Long Marianne is currently in post production.

Alex Wolff, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Anna Torv, Noah Taylor to star in the new eight-part series about the love story that inspired Leonard Cohen’s iconic song.

Set in some of the most beautiful places during the 1960s, So Long, Marianne is an intimate tale of two, lonely people falling in love, during a period of their life when they are trying to figure out who they are and their place in the world, while one is becoming one of the most famous singers of all time. 

Their story crosses the world, travelling from Oslo to Hydra; New York and Montreal, with the majority of the series set on the picturesque Greek island of Hydra where they lived during the 1960s. There, they joined legendary Australian novelists Charmian Clift and her husband George Johnston, the matriarch and patriarch of a bohemian group of writers, artists, poets, and outcasts who were exploring a new world of free love, drugs, and artistic freedom, but also experiencing the rivalries and jealousy that accompanied their intense, interwoven lives.
