Here’s everything you need to know about Prime Video’s “Boys of Tommen” series:

What is it about?

Based on Chloe Walsh’s bestselling book series “Boys of Tommen”, the book-to-screen adaptation will follow Shannon Lynch, a shy, timid girl who moves to a prestigious private school, Tommen College—for a fresh start after being bullied all her life—and meets Johnny Kavanagh, an all-star rugby player determined to make it pro. What follows is a gravitational pull neither of them can deny, but with both of them holding secrets—a career-ending injury for Johnny and a troubled and violent homelife for Shannon—that could ruin their lives forever, they must fight against all odds to be with each other and find a way to save each other, and the people around them.

“As someone who grew up in Cork, where these stories are set, this project feels incredibly personal to me. Poppy has done an amazing job adapting Chloe’s beloved books, and the way both writers capture young people’s lives with such empathy, tenderness and honesty feels truly extraordinary to me,” said Brendan Canty, director.

At the moment, the series will be based on the first two books of the “Boys of Tommen” series, “Binding 13” and “Keeping 13”, where Shannon and Johnny will be the main focus. That said, we’re confident the remaining books will get the green light for adaptation in due time. So, for fans of the books, we’re confident Joey Lynch and Aoife Molloy’s story will make it to the screen, along with the other couples from the series.

“Chloe has created such a rich, emotionally vivid world in these books, and as the writer adapting this story for the screen, it’s been a privilege to be entrusted with bringing that world to life,” said Poppy Cogan, lead writer and executive producer.
