Meet the Cast of Boys of Tommen: Prime Video's Upcoming YA Series
Prime Video has announced the latest additions to the cast of the upcoming YA series Boys of Tommen, based on Chloe Walsh's popular BookTok novel. The new cast members include Amelia May as Claire Biggs, John Hewson as Gerard Gibson, Indy Lewis as Lizzie Young, Alex Dunne as Hugh Biggs, Dixie Egerickx as Katie Wilmot, Daisy Jacob as Bella Wilkinson, Jonathan Heed as Cormac Ryan, and Cathal Ó Síocháin as Ronan McGarry. The search for the role of Patrick Feely is still ongoing, with the new cast joining the previously announced leads Brendan Canty, Nancy Surridge, Conor Sánchez, James O’Donoghue, and Sophie McGibbon.
Boys of Tommen follows the forbidden love story of Johnny Kavanagh, a star rugby player with a potentially career-ending injury, and Shannon Lynch, a talented but shy new student at Tommen College in Ballylaggin, Ireland. The two teenagers, each hiding their own secrets, form a deep connection that helps them navigate their challenges and support each other against all odds.
The new cast members, though relatively new to the industry, have already showcased their talent in various projects. Amelia May starred in the BBC thriller Wild Cherry, Dixie Egerickx appeared in The Essex Serpent, and Daisy Jacob played Young Maggie in Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love. The series is being adapted by Poppy Cogan, known for Good Girl's Guide to Murder, and directed by Brendan Canty, with Ingrid Goodwin serving as series producer.
Boys of Tommen is part of Prime Video's lineup of YA shows and is based on the first two books in Chloe Walsh's series. The series was one of the early greenlights for Prime Video's international boss, Nicole Clemens, and is expected to bring the captivating story of Johnny and Shannon to life on screen.
