Author’s dark comedy set for Apple TV +
By Sean Moriarty
A novel by a Killarney born author has been adapted into a series by Apple TV+ and is set to be seen by millions worldwide.
Colin O'Sullivan was born in Killarney in 1974 but he is currently based in Tokyo, Japan where he works as a teacher.
His latest book, ‘The Dark Manual’, the third one in his portfolio, is a dark comedy that tells the story of a robot that befriends an Irish widow. Their unlikely friendship unravels the truth behind her husband’s death.
His first novel 'Killarney Blues' (2013), won the Prix Mystère, a prestigious crime fiction award in France.
He also wrote 'The Starved Lover Sings' (2017). 'Dark Manual' was published in 2018. The Apple TV version, entitled ‘Sunny’ stars American actress Rashida Jones, who is best known for roles in TV series like ‘The Office’.
The new series will be a 10-episode half-hour dark comedy drama and is being created by Katie Robbins and directed by Lucy Tcherniak, with Jones serving as executive producer.
