Prime Video has greenlit a young adult romantic drama series based on Chloe Walsh's bestselling 'Boys of Tommen' books. The adaptation, produced by the team behind 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' and others, will explore a forbidden love story set in Ireland. Season 1 adapts the first two novels, with a release date yet to be announced.
Prime Video revealed on February 11, 2026, that it is developing 'Boys of Tommen,' a TV series adaptation of Irish author Chloe Walsh's popular young adult novels. The series centers on a forbidden romance between Johnny Kavanagh, a star rugby player at Tommen College in Ballylaggin, Ireland, who conceals a career-ending injury, and Shannon Lynch, a shy new student facing a troubled home life. As they form a secret connection, the story delves into their struggles against personal and external challenges, ultimately finding ways to support each other.
Season 1 will adapt the first two books in the series, 'Binding 13' and 'Keeping 13.' The production joins Prime Video's lineup of book-to-screen projects, including the Culpables franchise. Producers from 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' 'Twilight,' and 'One Day' are involved, with Poppy Cogan—known for adapting 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder'—serving as lead writer and executive producer.
Walsh expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating: "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."
Nicole Clemens of Prime Video highlighted the appeal, saying: "This BookTok phenomenon has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide with its deeply emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters." She noted that the scripts address themes of mental health, bullying, and resilience authentically.
The BookTok sensation has generated excitement among fans on social media, who eagerly await seeing the characters brought to life. The series is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video worldwide, though no specific release date has been provided.
