Normal People fans pining for another season, we have some good news: another adaptation of Sally Rooney's work is on its way.
This time, it's a small-screen re-imagining of the author's debut novel Conversations with Friends, starring Alison Oliver and Sasha Lane.
Set to air on BBC Three later this year, Conversations with Friends will follow 21-year-old Frances, played by Oliver, as she navigates a series of relationships – old and new.
Our first look at the 12-part drama sees Oliver and Lane as Frances and Bobbi, as well as Sex Education's Jemima Kirke as Melissa and The Favourite's Joe Alwyn as Nick.
"Frances is observant, cerebral and sharp. Her ex-girlfriend, now best friend, Bobbi is self-assured, outspoken and compelling. Though they broke up three years ago, Frances and Bobbi are virtually inseparable and perform spoken word poetry together in Dublin.
"It's at one of their shows that they meet Melissa, an older writer, who is fascinated by the pair. Bobbi and Frances start to spend time with Melissa and her husband, Nick, a handsome but reserved actor," the synopsis reads.
What to Read Next
"While Melissa and Bobbi flirt with each other openly, Nick and Frances embark on an intense, secret affair that is surprising to them both.
"Soon the affair begins to test the bond between Frances and Bobbi, forcing Frances to reconsider her sense of self, and the friendship she holds so dear."
Normal People's Ed Guiney, Emma Norton and Andrew Lowe will return as executive producers for the latest entry into the Rooney-verse – well, that's what we're calling it, anyway – with Alice Birch adapting the story alongside Mark O'Halloran, Meadhbh McHugh and Susan Soon He Stanton.
Conversations with Friends will premiere on BBC Three in the UK, Hulu in the US, and RTÉ in Ireland.
