So many Irish authors have had their novels adapted for the screen, and it has been an incredible thing to witness. From Cecelia Ahern's P.S I Love You, to Andrea Mara's All Her Fault, and, of course, Sally Rooney's Normal People, there's no shortage of remarkable novels to adapt for the screen.
It'll come as no surprise to see Catherine Ryan Howard's award-winning novel 56 Days make it to the screen in a new Prime series.
The thrilling series has become an instant hit, with the show becoming the #1 most-watched series on Prime in Ireland.
When an unidentified body is found in a luxury apartment linked to Oliver Kennedy and his girlfriend Ciara Wyse, Detectives Lee Reardon and Karl Connolly reconstruct the couple's deadly romance across the past 56 days.
Starring Avan Jogia and Dove Cameron, the Prime series is a gripping watch and is soon to be the show everyone is talking about.
If you've not yet read the novel, then make sure to get your hands on a copy before tuning into the series.
