Boys of Tommen is officially heading to Prime Video, bringing Chloe Walsh’s bestselling BookTok romance series to the screen. The upcoming adaptation is now in production, and Prime Video has released the first official images from the series.
The show will adapt the early books in the Boys of Tommen series, beginning with the stories of Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch. Here’s everything we know about the books, the Prime Video adaptation, the release date, cast, story, and what fans can expect.
What Is Boys of Tommen?
Boys of Tommen is a bestselling romance series by Irish author Chloe Walsh, set around Tommen College in Ireland.
The books combine sports romance, coming-of-age drama, friendship, family struggles, and emotionally intense relationships. The first two novels, Binding 13 and Keeping 13, focus on rugby star Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch.
Johnny is one of the most popular students at Tommen College and a talented rugby player with ambitions for his future. Shannon, meanwhile, arrives at the school hoping for a fresh start after experiencing years of bullying and difficult circumstances.
Their relationship becomes the emotional center of the first two books.
Penguin Random House lists Binding 13 as the first book in the series and Keeping 13 as its sequel. The publisher also lists Saving 6, Redeeming 6, Taming 7, and Releasing 10 as later entries in the series.

The first two books form the Johnny and Shannon storyline, while the later books shift the focus to other characters within the Tommen universe.

Yes. Boys of Tommen is officially being adapted into a TV series for Prime Video.
Amazon has confirmed that the adaptation is based on Chloe Walsh’s bestselling novels and is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with wiip, Temple Hill and Drama Republic.
The series is currently in production, and Prime Video released its first official images on September 8, 2026, giving fans their first look at the adaptation.
This makes the Boys of Tommen TV show one of the major upcoming book-to-screen adaptations for romance and YA audiences.
Boys of Tommen TV Show Release Date
There is currently no official release date for Boys of Tommen.
Prime Video has confirmed that the series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, but Amazon has not announced a specific premiere date yet.
The series is already in production, so fans can expect more information about the release window, trailer, and additional promotional material as production progresses.
For now, any specific 2027 release date should be treated as speculation unless Prime Video officially confirms it.
What Will the Boys of Tommen Show Be About?
Season 1 of the Boys of Tommen TV series will adapt the first two books in Chloe Walsh’s series: Binding 13 and Keeping 13.
The story follows Johnny Kavanagh, a talented rugby player whose future is threatened by a serious injury, and Shannon Lynch, a quiet new student at Tommen College dealing with a deeply troubled home life.
Their relationship develops as they try to deal with personal problems, family issues, and the pressures surrounding them.
According to Amazon, the first season will center on the forbidden romance between Johnny and Shannon and will adapt the events of the first two novels.
That means fans of the books can expect the first season to focus heavily on the Johnny and Shannon storyline rather than attempting to adapt the entire series at once.

When Is the Next Boys of Tommen Book Coming Out?
The latest book currently listed in the main series order is Releasing 10, which is Book 6 of the Boys of Tommen series.
Penguin Random House lists Releasing 10 as part of the series and also identifies Taming 7 as Book 5.
As the Prime Video adaptation brings more attention to the books, interest in the full series is likely to increase, particularly among viewers discovering Chloe Walsh’s novels for the first time.
Why Is Boys of Tommen So Popular?
The popularity of Boys of Tommen comes from its combination of romance, sports, friendship, and emotionally intense character development.
The series has also become strongly associated with BookTok, helping the books reach readers far beyond their original audience.
The first two books offer a particularly strong emotional hook through Johnny and Shannon’s relationship, while later installments expand the universe by following other characters connected to Tommen College.
That makes the series more than a single romance story. It gradually develops into a larger interconnected world where different characters get their own relationships and storylines.
Boys of Tommen vs. the TV Show
One of the biggest questions for fans will be how closely the Prime Video series follows the books.
So far, Amazon has confirmed that Season 1 adapts Binding 13 and Keeping 13, which means the first season has a clear source-material foundation.
However, details about episode count, the exact structure of the adaptation, and how much material from the two books will be included have not yet been fully revealed.
Fans should therefore expect the adaptation to bring some changes while retaining the main characters and central storyline.
Final Thoughts
Boys of Tommen is becoming one of the most anticipated romance book adaptations coming to Prime Video.
The series has a strong foundation thanks to Chloe Walsh’s bestselling novels, while the newly announced cast gives fans their first real look at Johnny, Shannon, Joey and Aoife.
For anyone discovering the franchise before the show arrives, the recommended Boys of Tommen books in order are Binding 13, Keeping 13, Saving 6, Redeeming 6, Taming 7 and Releasing 10.
The biggest unanswered question remains the Boys of Tommen release date. Prime Video has confirmed the series but has not announced when it will premiere.
As soon as an official release date, trailer, or additional casting information is announced, this article will be updated.
