Prime Video has released the first official images from Boys of Tommen, the television adaptation of the bestselling book series by West Cork author Chloe Walsh.
The first-look images feature Nancy Sturridge and Conor Sánchez in the roles of Shannon Lynch and Johnny Kavanagh, the central couple in the Cork-set adaptation. Set in the fictional town of Ballylaggin, the photographs show the pair in their school setting at Tommen College, offering an early glimpse of the relationship that drives the series.
Based on Walsh's hugely popular novels Binding 13 and Keeping 13, the series follows the relationship between rugby star Johnny and shy newcomer Shannon as they navigate personal struggles and growing feelings at the prestigious Tommen College.
