Here's a first look at the TV adaption of Sally Rooney's Conversations with Friends - and it looks tense and intimate and we can't wait to watch it this spring.
Conversations with Friends, which was acclaimed author Sally Rooney's debut novel, follows a 21-year-old Dublin based college student called Frances, who, along with her friend Bobbi, becomes involved in the life of married couple, Melissa and Nick.
Alison Oliver, an emerging talent from the Lir Academy plays Frances. American Honey's Sasha Lane stars as Bobbi, Joe Alwyn, best known as featuring in The Favourite, is Nick and Girls' Jemima Kirke plays Melissa.
Element Pictures is once again collaborating with director Lenny Abrahamson and writer Alice Birch who worked alongside writers Mark O'Halloran (Rialto), Meadhbh McHugh (Asking For It) and Susan Soon He Stanton (Succession) on the 12-part drama for BBC Three in partnership with Hulu, made in association with RTÉ.
