The first season of Boys of Tommen on Prime Video has been confirmed as an adaptation of Binding 13 and Keeping 13, the first two books in Chloe Walsh's series. Both volumes follow the same central arc, focused on Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch. That makes combining them in one season narratively coherent, although Amazon has not presented that structure as its official reason for choosing both books.
On September 8, 2026, Amazon released the first official images and said the series was in production. The company also confirmed Nancy Surridge as Shannon, Conor Sánchez as Johnny, James O'Donoghue as Joey Lynch, and Sophie McGibbon as Aoife Molloy. As of September 16, 2026, no premiere date had been announced.
What Prime Video has confirmed about Season 1
The key fact for readers trying to match the show to the books is straightforward: Season 1 is based on Binding 13 and Keeping 13. Prime Video's official description keeps Johnny and Shannon at the center, with rugby, Shannon's arrival at Tommen College, and the pair's personal struggles forming the core of the drama.
Amazon says Boys of Tommen is in production and will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. A release date has not yet been announced.
| Book | Order | Main focus | Adaptation status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binding 13 | 1st | Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch | Confirmed for Season 1 |
| Keeping 13 | 2nd | Continuation of Johnny and Shannon's arc | Confirmed for Season 1 |
| Saving 6 | 3rd | Joey Lynch and Aoife Molloy | No dedicated season confirmed |
| Redeeming 6 | 4th | Continuation of Joey and Aoife's arc | No dedicated season confirmed |
| Taming 7 | 5th | Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson and Claire Biggs | No adaptation confirmed |
| Releasing 10 | 6th | Hugh Biggs and Lizzie Young | No adaptation confirmed |
Why Binding 13 and Keeping 13 are being adapted together
The safest explanation comes from the books' publishing structure. The publisher presents Binding 13 as the first book in the series and Keeping 13 as the second and a continuation. Both keep Johnny and Shannon as the central protagonists.
That means the two books form a natural unit for an adaptation that wants to follow the first major arc in the Tommen universe. This is an inference based on how the series is organized, not a statement that Prime Video will reproduce every chapter or end the season on the exact final page of Keeping 13. Screen adaptations can condense scenes, reorder events, and introduce characters earlier.
Where to continue in the books after Season 1
Readers who want to continue in publication order after the material confirmed for Season 1 should move on to Saving 6. Hachette identifies it as the third book in the series and the beginning of Joey Lynch and Aoife Molloy's arc. Redeeming 6, the fourth volume, follows it.
- Binding 13
- Keeping 13
- Saving 6
- Redeeming 6
- Taming 7
- Releasing 10
This sequence is supported by the publisher's series pages, which currently list six published volumes. Saving 6 is presented as the third book, while the pages for Taming 7 and Releasing 10 preserve the six-title order.
Joey and Aoife are already in the show, but that does not confirm Season 2
The official cast helps show how Prime Video can introduce the wider ensemble from the beginning. James O'Donoghue and Sophie McGibbon play Joey and Aoife, characters who later take center stage in Saving 6 and Redeeming 6. Their presence in Season 1 fits the shared cast of the books.
That should not, however, be treated as confirmation that a possible Season 2 will adapt those two novels. As of September 16, 2026, Amazon had confirmed the first season and its source books, but had not publicly announced a second season or the material it would use.
What has not been confirmed yet
- the Season 1 premiere date;
- an episode release schedule;
- a renewal for Season 2;
- which books would be adapted after Keeping 13;
- how much of the book chronology will be condensed, reordered, or brought forward for television.
For readers who want to prepare without spoilers, the practical rule is simple: the first two books are the material officially announced for Season 1. After them, the reading order continues with Saving 6 and Redeeming 6, followed by Taming 7 and Releasing 10. What comes next on television still depends on future Prime Video announcements.
