The first teaser trailer for the BBC and Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel 'Conversations With Friends' has been released. The series stars Jemima Kirke and Joe Alwyn as a married couple, Melissa and Nick Conway, who become entangled with two former student lovers, Frances and Bobbi.
The story follows Frances (Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (Sasha Lane) as they navigate their attraction to the married couple after meeting at a poetry night in Ireland. The trailer hints at the complex relationships and racy moments that characterise the novel.
Set in Trinity College Dublin, the series explores infidelity and emotional entanglement. Bobbi flirts with Melissa, while Frances begins an affair with Nick. The four characters become increasingly intertwined, with Nick eventually revealing the affair to his wife, who accepts it.
Frances rekindles relationships with both Bobbi and Nick, leading to a complicated dynamic. The series marks the debut of Alison Oliver, who graduated from the Lir Academy in Dublin.
'Conversations With Friends' follows the success of Rooney's 'Normal People', which became BBC Three's most-watched show with over 23 million global downloads. The new series is set to premiere in May 2022 on BBC Three in the UK and Hulu in the US.
