BBC Three and Hulu have shared the first trailer for Conversations With Friends, the new adaption for Sally Rooney's best selling debut novel, ahead of its May premiere.
The 12-part drama follows Frances (Alison Oliver) and Bobbi ( American Honey ‘s Sasha Lane), two spoken word poets in Dublin who used to date.
At one of their shows, they meet Melissa (Jemima Kirke), an older writer, who is fascinated by the pair. Bobbi and Frances start to spend time with Melissa and her husband, Nick (Joe Alwyn), a handsome but reserved actor.
While Melissa and Bobbi flirt with each other openly, Nick and Frances embark on an intense, secret affair that is surprising to them both.
The series, which is an unconnected follow-up to 2020 drama Normal People, will drop on BBC Three, Hulu and Ireland’s RTÉ in May.
The show was partly filmed in Belfast, with the main cast members being spotted throughout the city during the several months in 2021 when filming took place. Film crews for the drama were spotted at places like Ormeau Road's Canteen Cafe, and Botanic Avenue's No Alibis bookshop.
Towards the end of filming for Conversations With Friends, American superstar Taylor Swift was spotted dining at a Belfast restaurant, when she was over visiting her partner Joe Alwyn, who is one of the stars of Conversations With Friends.
Conversations With Friends will released in May.
