Google Books: Conversations with Friends - Meet the Cast

Sally Rooney's critically acclaimed novel, Conversations with Friends, is finally getting its own TV adaptation. The highly anticipated series will premiere on Hulu and BBC in 2022, following the success of their Normal People adaptation. The cast has just been announced, and we're excited to meet the talented actors who will bring these complex characters to life.

According to reports, Joe Alwyn will play Nick, a 32-year-old actor and husband to Melissa (played by Jemima Kirke). Sasha Lane will star as Bobbi, Frances's aggressively charismatic best friend (and ex), while Alison Oliver will take on the lead role of Frances, a 21-year-old poet and student. Rounding out the cast is newcomer Alice Birch, who will return as the lead writer alongside directors Lenny Abrahamson and Leanne Welham.

The casting choices may raise some eyebrows - Nick's description in the book describes him as 'large-faced' and 'very tall,' while Joe Alwyn is smooth-faced and boyish. However, fans of Normal People will be excited to see familiar faces behind the camera. Director Lenny Abrahamson helmed Normal People, and Alice Birch returns as lead writer.

As we eagerly await the series' premiere, burning questions remain. Will they bring back the intimacy coordinator from Normal People to choreograph the sex scenes? What subtle yet sexually devastating accessories might the costumers give Nick to help endear him to the audience? And who will play the conversant friends and their lovers?

One thing is certain - with its talented cast, passionate fan base, and steamy subject matter, Conversations with Friends is shaping up to be a must-watch series. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to its premiere in 2022.
