The BBC and Hulu have set the cast for Conversations With Friends, their second, highly-anticipated Sally Rooney adaptation following the soaraway success of Normal People.
The Favourite star Joe Alwyn and Girls actress Jemima Kirke will headline the series alongside Utopia’s Sasha Lane and newcomer Alison Oliver, who could be propelled into the spotlight in the same way that Normal People made stars out of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal.
Produced by Element Pictures, Conversations With Friends is a 12-part series, which follows the story of two Dublin college students, Frances (Oliver) and Bobbi (Lane), and the strange and unexpected connection they forge with married couple, Melissa (Kirke) and Nick (Alwyn).
Lenny Abrahamson — the Oscar-nominated director of Room — is again attached as lead director after his work on Normal People. Alice Birch, who was also involved in Normal People, is on board as a writer alongside Mark O’Halloran (Rialto), Meadhbh McHugh (Asking For It), and Susan Soon He Stanton (Succession). Leanne Welham (His Dark Materials) is the other director.
Production will begin this year in Dublin, Belfast, and international locations yet to be confirmed. The series is scheduled to premiere in 2022 on Hulu in the U.S. and BBC Three/BBC One in the UK.
