\n\tPrime Video<\/a>\u2019s latest big YA bet, Boys of Tommen<\/a>, has set cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe romantic drama from The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/a> studio wiip<\/a> and Off Campus maker Temple Hill has cast newcomer Nancy Surridge in the lead role of Shannon Lynch, the shy and mysterious new girl at Tommen College. Conor S\u00e1nchez\u00a0(Mix Tape) will bring Johnny Kavanagh, the golden boy of Tommen, to life, with James O\u2019Donoghue\u00a0(Sanctuary: A Witch\u2019s Tale) as the troubled but loyal Joey Lynch, and\u00a0Sophie McGibbon\u00a0(Sense & Sensibility) as the fiercely confident Aoife Molloy.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoys of Tommen is the latest in a long line of Prime Video YA shows and is based on the hit book series by Chloe Walsh. It is being adapted by Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Murder\u2019s Poppy Cogan and comes from director Brendan Canty. Ingrid Goodwin is series producer. <\/p>\n

\n\tCogan said: \u201cThese characters have lived in the hearts\u00a0and minds\u00a0of millions of readers, and the response to them has been overwhelming, so finding the right cast\u00a0was incredibly important. Chloe has created such a rich, emotionally vivid world in these books, and as the writer adapting this story for screen it\u2019s been a privilege to\u00a0be entrusted with bringing that world to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series, which was greenlit earlier this yea<\/a>r, is produced by global independent studio wiip in association with Amazon<\/a> MGM Studios, with Metropolitan providing local production services. Series one has been adapted by Cogan (A Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Murder) and will be based on the first two novels in Walsh\u2019s bestselling series, Binding 13 and Keeping 13.\u00a0Cogan also serves as EP alongside author of the series Chloe Walsh, wiip\u2019s Paul Lee, Hope Hartman and Sean Flanagan, Temple Hill\u2019s Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, James Seidman and Annika Patten and Drama Republic\u2019s Greg Brenman and Deena Butt.
