Few things have wrecked us like Normal People. The show, based off Sally Rooney’s book of the same name, follows Marianne and Connell throughout secondary school, college, and their careers. Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones absolutely shine, and if you ask me, this is one of the most heartbreaking TV shows EVER — and yet, I’m thrilled to announce that we might be getting a Normal People season 2...just not as soon as we thought.
When Paul and Daisy recently reunited, a selfie on Element Pictures’ Instagram stories shows them holding 2’s up in front of their faces. Element Pictures is the company behind the first season of Normal People, and needless to say, fans are losing their minds. “WE’RE GETTING NORMAL PEOPLE SEASON 2???” one X user asks. “IM SO UP.”
“THERE COULD BE A SEASON 2 OF NORMAL PEOPLE HOLY F-CKING SH-T IM GOING TO CRY,” another says.
However, the duo went on to reveal that there's no season 2, but they ARE reuniting for a special charity screening of Normal People. They're raffling off tickets to the screening, which will happen June 16 in Central London, and all the proceeds will go to UNICEF and Pieta, an Irish-based suicide and self-harm prevention charity.
Even though it looks like we won't be getting a Normal People season 2 next year, there's still a chance we could see it in the future. Check out the rest of this year’s New TV Shows to hold you over until then!

Season 2 of Normal People hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it sounds like the team is all in. Normal People showrunner Lenny Abrahamson said in 2020 that, “I have a sneaking thing in the back of my head that if everybody was willing, and if the stars aligned, I’d love to revisit them in five years and find out what happened, where they are,” he tells Deadline. “Is somebody a father or a mother? What relationship are they in that then get disrupted by their meeting again?” Um, yes please, I need this on my screen as soon as possible.
Do Connell and Marianne end up together in the book?

This is a complicated answer, but yes and no. Connell and Marianne finally make their relationship official at the end of Normal People, but then Connell leaves for Cornell University. He promises Marianne there’s no one else for him, and the story ends with our leads beginning a long distance relationship. So they’re in a relationship but they’re not physically together.
