Dating Amber is the latest Irish film to be hitting our screens, and we can't wait to check out the coming-of-age comedy-drama. The movie, which is set in the 90s, will be landing on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday 4 June and follows Eddie, a schoolboy who begins to date his friend Amber so that they can both hide the fact that they are gay from their peers.

The new film is set to star actor Fionn O'Shea as Eddie, who is perhaps best known for his role as Marianne's villainous boyfriend Eddie in Normal People. The BBC Three show's stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal have been quick to support the film, with Paul tweeting the trailer and writing: "Everyone watch this film." Meanwhile, the show is directed by David Freyne, who recently tweeted: "Eeeeek" while retweeting the show's release date, which was then liked by Daisy.
