What's 'Normal People' all about?
For those who've been living under a rock, 'Normal People' is a British-Irish drama series that premiered on BBC Three in the UK and Hulu in the US in April 2020. It's based on Sally Rooney's best-selling novel of the same name and follows the complicated love story of Marianne Sheridan and Connell Waldron, played by the absolutely gorgeous Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal.
The series is set in Ireland and explores themes of class, social status, and the messy, beautiful, and often painful realities of young love. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, and we're not afraid to say, it's a real tear-jerker.
So, what about that season 2?
We know, we know, you're dying to know if there's more Marianne and Connell drama coming your way. Unfortunately, as of now, there's no official announcement from the BBC or Hulu about a season 2.
The first season adapted the entire novel, so there's no source material left for a second season. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible. The show's co-creator and writer, Sally Rooney, has hinted that she'd be open to exploring more of Marianne and Connell's story if there was an appetite for it.
What do the creators have to say?
In an interview with The Guardian, Sally Rooney said, "I think there's more to tell about those characters, but it would be a different kind of story." She also mentioned that she'd be interested in exploring what happens to Marianne and Connell after the events of the novel.
Co-creator and director of the series, Lenny Abrahamson, has also expressed his interest in exploring more of Marianne and Connell's story. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said, "I think there's a lot more to explore with those characters."
But what about those cryptic tweets?
You might have seen some cryptic tweets from the official 'Normal People' account and the show's stars, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, around the time of the season 1 finale. While they did get fans' hopes up, they were just a fun way to celebrate the end of the season and didn't hint at a season 2.
So, what now?
While we're all hoping for a season 2, it's important to remember that these things take time. The show's creators and the network need to discuss and decide if there's a story worth telling. And even if they do decide to move forward, it could take a while to get the show back on our screens.
In the meantime, we can always rewatch season 1 (for the millionth time), read the book, and imagine what Marianne and Connell might be up to. And who knows? Maybe one day, we'll get to see their story continue.
Final thoughts
'Normal People' was a cultural phenomenon, and it's not hard to see why. The chemistry between Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, the beautiful cinematography, and the deeply emotional story resonated with so many of us. So, while we're all hoping for a season 2, let's appreciate what we have and keep our fingers crossed for the future.
Until then, guys, keep your hearts open and your tissues handy. Because, let's face it, Marianne and Connell's love story is a wild ride.
