Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, the stars of Hulu's Normal People, have set social media ablaze with a cryptic Instagram post, hinting at a potential second season of the hit series.
On May 28, Edgar-Jones shared a selfie with Mescal, both flashing peace signs with grins on their faces. The caption read, "We've got some news to share!! Watch this space." The same photo was also shared on the Instagram Stories of Element Pictures, the production company behind Normal People.
Fans immediately erupted with excitement, interpreting the peace signs and the word "news" as a clear indication of a second season. Social media was flooded with comments expressing hope and anticipation for the return of Marianne and Connell's complex love story.
However, representatives for Hulu and Element Pictures have not yet confirmed the news, leaving fans in suspense.
Normal People, based on Sally Rooney's bestselling novel, premiered in April 2020 and quickly became a global sensation. The series delves into the intricate relationship between Marianne and Connell, tracing their connection from high school through college.
Mescal and Edgar-Jones have maintained a close friendship since the show's debut, often sharing their bond on social media and at public events.
In a 2020 interview with PEOPLE, the pair opened up about their "easy" on-screen and off-screen connection, citing their similar sense of humour as a key factor. Mescal also praised the show's approach to sex scenes, emphasising the importance of creating a safe and empowering environment for the actors.
As fans eagerly await official confirmation, the possibility of Normal People season 2 remains a tantalising prospect. Until then, viewers can relive the magic of the first season on Hulu.
