Prime Video has commissioned Boys of Tommen, a sweeping romantic drama series based on the bestselling series by Irish author Chloe Walsh.
Series one is based on the first two novels in Chloe Walsh’s best-selling series, Binding 13 and Keeping 13 and adapted by Poppy Cogan (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder).
Boys of Tommen is produced by global independent studio, wiip in association with Amazon MGM Studios, with Metropolitan providing local production services. Poppy Cogan serves as lead writer and Executive Producer alongside author of the series, Chloe Walsh, wiip’s Paul Lee, Hope Hartman and Sean Flanagan, Temple Hill’s Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, James Seidman and Annika Patten and Drama Republic’s Greg Brenman and Deena Butt.
The drama follows the forbidden love story of Johnny Kavanagh, the star rugby player on the verge of a pro career and Shannon Lynch, the talented but painfully shy new girl at the prestigious private school of Tommen College in Ballylaggin, Ireland. Both teenagers are hiding secrets; Johnny, a potentially career ending injury and Shannon, a troubled and violent homelife. Through their secret and highly charged connection, the two teens from opposite worlds battle against the odds and find a way to save each other.
Nicole Clemens, VP of International Originals at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, commented: “We’re thrilled to bring Chloe Walsh’s extraordinary Boys of Tommen to Prime Video. This BookTok phenomenon has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide with its deeply emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters. 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. We can’t wait for our exceptional creative team at Drama Republic, Temple Hill, and wiip to bring this series to life for Prime customers.”
