If, like us, you spent 2020 obsessing over Normal People, then you'll be hooked on Conversations With Friends, coming to BBC Three later this month.The new series – based on the novel of the same name – was also written by Normal People's author Sally Rooney and directed by Lenny Abrahamson, and follows the story of students Frances and Bobbi, ex-girlfriends who become entangled in the relationship of an older couple. With the novel winning Sally a Young Writer of the Year award, Conversations With Friends is sure to keep viewers gripped over the coming weeks.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticOn the most basic level, it makes sense that Hulu’s “Conversations With Friends” would try to echo what made its “Normal People” adaptation so successful. Once again enlisting director Lenny Abrahamson and writer Alice Birch, and once again starring a female actor (Alison Oliver) who resembles author Sally Rooney and a male one specifically poised to become a breakout thirst object (Joe Alwyn), “Conversations With Friends” follows the “Normal People” pattern so closely that it often feels more like a faded impression rather than its own series.

Nothing uncomfortable here. Alison Oliver says “it was great” working with an intimacy coordinator to film sex scenes with Joe Alwyn for Hulu’s Conversations With Friends, which debuts on Sunday, May 15.
