The first season, commissioned by Prime Video, will consist of eight episodes and adapt the first two novels in the series: Binding 13 and Keeping 13. The novels focus on the forbidden relationship between Johnny and Shannon. The official synopsis reads: “Boys of Tommen 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.”
