Marian Keyes, whose books the TV series is based on, is one of Ireland’s most celebrated authors. She is even mentioned in the hit song I Don’t Really Care For You by Irish singer-songwriter CMAT.
Keyes has sold over 39 million books worldwide, with her works translated into 36 languages.
She was also named Author of the Year at the 2022 British Book Awards.
Keyes spoke of how “thrilled” she is about the production of this series:
“These amazing people have captured the spirit of my books, and they’re transformed into something new and exciting.”
“This probably sounds like a strange thing to say but even if I wasn’t involved in this, I’d be dying to see it.”
“I’m so grateful to all the individuals who worked so hard to make this beautiful series and I’m very excited for the world to see the finished product.”
