At the risk of reigniting the Sally Rooney Discourse—today, Hulu and BBC Three released a few early images from their upcoming adaptation of Sally Rooney’s bestselling first novel Conversations With Friends, which will premiere sometime this spring. (If you somehow don’t know what this novel is about—hi Jon—you can read an excerpt here.) The 12 episode series stars Alison Oliver, Sasha Lane, Joe Alwyn, and Jemima Kirke, whom you can see in all their moody, overthinking-it glory here:
