The BBC has released a new image of actor Allison Oliver from the forthcoming television adaption of Sally Rooney’s debut novel, Conversations with Friends.
The channel announced the TV adaption last year, following the success of Normal People which became BBC’s most streamed series in 2020.
Conversations with Friends will also be directed by filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson, who adapted Rooney’s Normal People for television, with newcomers Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal in lead roles.
The series writers include Normal People screenwriter Alice Birch, Mark O’Halloran (Rialto), Meadhbh McHugh (Asking For It) and Susan Soon He Stanton (Succession).
