Concerning the adoption
Frances (Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (American Honey’s Sasha Lane) are two virtually inseparable spoken word poets in Dublin who used to date in the 12-part drama. They meet Melissa (Jemima Kirke), an older writer who is fascinated by the pair, at one of their shows.
Bobbi and Frances begin dating Melissa and her husband, Nick (Joe Alwyn), a handsome but reserved actor. While Melissa and Bobbi openly flirt with each other, Nick and Frances embark on an intense, secret affair that both of them find surprising.
In May, the series will premiere on BBC Three, Hulu, and Ireland’s RTÉ. Endeavour Content is in charge of global distribution and has already signed pre-sales agreements with Amazon Prime Video (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa), HBO Max EMEA (Spain, Portugal, Nordics, CEE, Netherlands, Baltics), SYN (Iceland), and Wavve (Korea).
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, and Fiona Campbell, Controller of BBC Three in the United Kingdom, commissioned Conversations With Friends. Northern Ireland Screen is helping to fund it.
