Who Is Behind the Scenes of "Conversations With Friends"?
In great news for anyone who was as obsessed with the "Normal People" series as we were in 2020, "Conversations With Friends" is being created by the very same team.
Specifically, Alice Birch — who penned multiple episodes of "Normal People" and has been a story editor on "Succession" — is returning for round two. And of course, Rooney herself will be returning as one of the executive producers for the series, along with a host of EPs from Element Pictures and the BBC.
Director and executive producer Lenny Abrahamson is also returning, and by the sounds of it, he's just as excited to dive back into Rooney's world as we are. "I love 'Conversations With Friends,' its depth, humour, and freshness, and it's an honour to be involved in bringing it to the screen," he said. "Making 'Normal People' has been a singular pleasure, and I'm excited to be working with the same brilliant team again on 'Conversations With Friends.'"
