Risky behaviors abound in the new trailer for Hulu’s upcoming seriesConversations With Friends. And not only will longtime fans of the book-turned-show be excited about the arrival of the newest look, but so will stans of indie music starPhoebe Bridgers,as her soulful voice can be heard throughout the trailer. Based onSally Rooney’s novel of the same name, the series, which hits the streamer on May 15, will unpack the dramatics that come with growing into adulthood and falling in love — specifically with unavailable people.
In a steamy trailer, we see our protagonist Frances (Alison Oliver) embark on a hot and heavy affair with married and successful actor Nick (Joe Alwyn). Initially attracted to Nick for his wit and comedic timing, Frances soon feels more for the romantically involved man and the two begin to sneak away for more time together. Meanwhile, Frances’ ex, Bobbi (Sasha Lane) begins to catch feelings for Nick’s wife, Melissa (Jemima Kirke). While the smooth talking Nick assuages Frances’ feelings surrounding not wanting to be the other woman in his marriage, his honesty is quickly called into question. By the end of the series, will everyone be torn apart, will new loves grow, or will it lead them all back to their original loves?
Following the success of Rooney’s last book-turned-series, it’s no shock as to why Hulu quickly swept up the story ofConversations With Friends. Back in 2020, the streamer adapted the author’s novelNormal Peopleto much critical acclaim. The series starredDaisy Edgar-JonesandPaul Mescaland brought plenty more romance entangled drama to screens everywhere.
