Quiz: Before Conversations with Friends airs, how well do you remember Normal People?
Element Pictures made the popular TV series Normal People starring Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones
Conversations with Friends is about to debut on television screens and if its predecessor Normal People is anything to go by, it's sure to be a hit.
Both Conversations with Friends and Normal People were written by Irish author Sally Rooney, and Conversations was actually published first, in 2017.
The TV adaptation has an impressive cast lined up between Alison Oliver, Sasha Lane, Joe Alwyn, and Jemima Kirke.
Filmed in locations across Ireland, Conversations with Friends sees most of the creative team behind Normal People - including production studio Element Pictures, director Lenny Abrahamson, and co-writer Alice Birch - returning for the adaptation.
Hopes are high but when it won't be easy trying to beat the charm of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal as Marianne and Connell, respectively.
It's been a couple of years since Normal People debuted so we're quizzing you on how well you remember the series.
Conversations with Friends debuts on BBC Three this Sunday, May 15, and on RTÉ One three days later, on Wednesday 18 May.
