Sally Rooney ‘Decided Not to Accept Any Offers’ for Screen Adaptation of Third Novel, Says ‘Normal People’ Discourse Was ‘A Lot’: ‘I Felt That World Was Not Where I Belonged’


Sally Rooney isn't currently accepting any offers to adapt her third novel for the screen, saying she 'felt that world was not where I belonged.'

Sally Rooney, who penned the novels-turned-series “ Normal People ” and “Conversations With Friends,” isn’t jumping at the chance for future TV adaptations of her work. “Normal People,” starring Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones in career-making turns, became a critical and commercial hit when it released in the U.S. on Hulu in April 2020. Rooney told the New York Times that she wasn’t as involved in the “Conversations With Friends” adaptation because she was busy writing “Beautiful World, Where Are You?” — but she doesn’t have any regrets.
