Plot Synopsis

Based on Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series of the same name, SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE is a five-part limited series that re-examines the dilemmas probed by the original, exploring love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple. Mira is a confident, ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan is a cerebral and accommodating philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact. This reboot mines the full complexity of Jonathan and Mira as individuals who ultimately know their marriage isn't being torn apart by any one event or flaw, resulting in a radically honest series that allows the audience to eavesdrop on private conversations between two people torn between feelings of hate and love.
