Sally Rooney’s bookConversations with Friendsis coming to life.
On Friday, Hulu released a handful of images from the upcoming series, giving fans their first look at Nick Conway (Joe Alwyn) and Frances' (Alison Oliver) complicated love affair.
The book, published in 2017, follows two female college students Frances and Bobbi (Sasha Lane) as they unexpectedly strike up a sexually charged relationship with married couple Nick and Melissa (Jemima Kirke) in Dublin. The connection results in a twisted pair of love triangles that upend all their lives.
In one photo, Nick and Frances are seen cozied up in a car, with Nick’s wedding ring in full display, while another shows the whole group together standing beachside on a bed of rocks.
Teasing the sexual tension between other members of the group, Bobbi and Melissa are seen smiling and drinking wine together, and best friends and ex-girlfriends Bobbi and Frances share a close moment with their arms around one another.
