Prime Video set to adapt Irish BookTok sensation Boys of Tommen

Prime Video is set to adapt the #1 New York Times bestseller and BookTok sensation, Boys of Tommen, into a romantic drama series.

The project, based on the series by Cork author Chloe Walsh, will be brought to the screen by Prime Video in collaboration with the producers behind adaptations such as The Summer I Turned Pretty, One Day, and Twilight.

"The response from readers around the world has been overwhelming, and knowing that everyone behind this production and book shares my passion for telling this story authentically means the world to me." said Walsh.

Adapted by Poppy Cogan (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder), the first series draws from the first two novels in Chloe Walsh’s best-selling series: Binding 13 and Keeping 13.

The Boys of Tommen tells the story of a forbidden romance between two teenagers at Tommen College in Ballylaggin, Ireland. Johnny Kavanagh is the college's star rugby player, on the brink of a professional career, while Shannon Lynch is the shy new girl. Both teens harbour secrets: Johnny is concealing a potentially career-ending injury, and Shannon is hiding a violent and troubled home life.

“This BookTok phenomenon has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide with its deeply emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters,” said Nicole Clemens, VP of International Originals at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. “Poppy's scripts capture the intensity of Johnny and Shannon's powerful romance and dive into the rich constellation of characters to explore the themes of mental health, bullying, and resilience with the same authenticity that fans love in Chloe's books.”
