Irish director Lenny Abrahamson, best known for his work on Sally Rooney's Normal People and his film Room, is set to direct the upcoming television show You Are Here. The show will be based on David Nicholls' novel of the same name, with the screenplay written by him too. Irish production house Element Pictures, a Fremantle owned company, will work alongside the BBC and Starz for this adaptation. Director Lenny Abrahamson described the novel as "such a beautiful love story – funny, profound and ultimately deeply hopeful." Both Nicholls and Abrahamson will serve as executive producers alongside stars Foy and Macfadyen.
