Element Pictures, the Irish production company behind the Emmy-nominated and BAFTA-winning hit adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People, will be adapting Nicola Dinan’s debut LGBT romance novel Bellies for TV. Dinan’s Bellies, which will be released in 2023, follows two queer students, Tom and Ming, who fall in love while in school together. But their relationship is tested when Ming comes out as trans and decides to transition. Element Pictures’ Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, and Chelsea Morgan Hoffmann said in a statement, “We think the world is hungry for a love story like [Tom and Ming’s] – that authentically allows for the space and complexity of their changing dynamic, both as Ming transitions but also as the two of them grow into adulthood – while still honoring the excitement and intensity of first love. We are delighted to bring their story to the screen and couldn’t be happier that Nicola is adapting herself.”
