Lenny Abrahamson, the acclaimed Irish director who famously brought Sally Rooney’s bestselling novel “Normal People” to TV screens (igniting the careers of both Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones in the process), has turned his attention to another beloved author: David Nicholls.

Variety understands that Abrahamson will direct a TV adaptation of Nicholls’ 2024 novel “You Are Here,” once again for the BBC, which co-produced and aired “Normal People” and Abrahamson’s follow up “Conversations With Friends” (based on Rooney’s debut novel).
