‘Conversations With Friends’ By Sally Rooney Is Being Made Into A TV Show

When we first heard that Sally Rooney’s ‘Normal People’ was being adapted for the screens, the excitement was almost too much. Now, before Normal People has even been released, there’s even more good news. BBC has signed up to create an adaptation of Sally’s first book, ‘Conversations With Friends’.

The 12 part series will tell the story of two college students from Dublin, Frances, and Bobbi, and the unexpected friendship they have with married couple, Melissa and Nick.

Irish film-maker Lenny Abrahamson who has directed Normal People is also directing Conversations With Friends. Talking about the new book adaptation, the director said to Grazia, “I love Conversations With Friends, its depth, humour, and freshness, and it’s an honour to be involved in bringing it to the screen.”

He continued, “I’m particularly happy that my connection to Sally and her work is set to continue. Making Normal People has been a singular pleasure and I’m excited to be working with the same brilliant team again on Conversations With Friends.”

We’ll be waiting a little longer for Conversations With Friends, but Normal People will be airing on BBC this year.
