Sally Rooney is an executive producer on the Hulu series alongside Ed Guiney, Emma Norton, Andrew Lowe, Tommy Bulfin, and Lenny Abrahamson. For "Normal People," Rooney penned the first six episodes before handing over the reins to the creative team. This time, Alice Birch, who also worked on "Normal People," is on board as a writer alongside Mark O'Halloran, Meadhbh McHugh, and Susan Soon He Stanton.
The show's star, Alison Oliver, tells POPSUGAR about Rooney's involvement. "We didn't get to meet in person, but we had a Zoom and chatted about everything about the book and the character and about ourselves. . . . That was really wonderful to get to do. She was so generous with her information about it and the characters and all of that."
