Love Actually, the beloved holiday movie that lands on favorite Christmas movie lists aplenty this time of year, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2022. As part of that, veteran TV journalist Diane Sawyer has gathered members of the cast and crew together to commemorate the movie with The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later – A Diane Sawyer Special, a special edition of the news program 20/20.

The special features brand new interviews with members of the cast and crew along with a look at how the cult classic Christmas movie rose to popularity around the world. It also examines how the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we connect with each other, a main theme throughout the movie.

Love Actually introduces viewers to a number of people who come from all walks of life. The one common theme linking them is love. There are characters looking for love, falling in love for the first time, mourning lost love and basking in the warm glow of new love. And it's all set within the backdrop of the holidays in the UK.
