Adapted from Sally Rooney\u2019s bestselling book of the same name, the BBC Three and Hulu adaptation focuses on a \u2018m\u00e9nage \u00e0 quatre\u2019 between a wealthy Dublin-based couple and two university students, Frances and Bobbi.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Sasha Lane \u2013 who plays Bobbi in the series \u2013 teased that she thinks viewers\u2019 opinions on the relationship will \u201cshift\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI think their opinion will change. I think they\u2019ll start off with an opinion in the first couple episodes of how they feel about all these different types of relationships and the messiness of it. And by the end of it, they might be like, \u2018OK, well\u2026\u2019 I think it\u2019ll just shift,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Sex Education<\/a>\u2018s Jemima Kirke \u2013 who plays Melissa \u2013\u00a0agreed with her co-star.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s true. I think that the book might start out with clear rights and wrongs, goods and bads, and then at the end I think what we really find out is how little we know, how few answers we have and how blurry everything is, which is frustrating.\u00a0I just know that from reading the book. I don\u2019t know how it came across in the series.\u201d<\/p>\n Joe Alwyn \u2013 who plays Melissa\u2019s husband Nick \u2013 praised the \u201cmessiness\u201d of the series, and expressed his hope that the TV adaptation would provoke discussion among its audience.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope that the messiness of the whole series and the way that Sally doesn\u2019t tie things up at the end, I hope people respond to it well. But I hope it provokes discussion as well, just like it did for the book.\u201d<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Abby Robinson.<\/em><\/p>\n Join Conversations with Friends stars Alison Oliver and Joe Alwyn, alongside the show\u2019s director Lenny Abrahamson, executive producer Emma Norton and producer Catherine Magee, for a special Q&A at this year\u2019s BFI & Radio Times Television Festival<\/strong> \u2013 book your tickets here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Conversations with Friends is released on Sunday 15th May 2022, appearing on BBC One, BBC Three and BBC iPlayer for UK viewers.
