The year 2020 was defined by two things — a global pandemic and the greatest love story to ever grace our screens. Normal People was a runaway hit that launched the careers of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal — for many of us, lockdown was defined by cutting our own fringes and lusting after chain necklaces. And although you might have thought we left the heartbreaking, addictive world of Normal People behind, four years later, the two stars have just teased a major update. It’s not confirmed yet, but it looks like the long-awaited Normal People season 2 might actually be happening.
The rumours of a second season began earlier this week when Edgar-Jones posted an Instagram story alongside her Normal People co-star, Paul Mescal. In the photo, the pair smiled at the camera holding up peace signs — or is that… the number two? “We got some news to share!!” she wrote in text over the photo, adding, “Watch this space.”

Things got even more suspicious when Element Pictures, the production company behind the series, reposted the photo adding an side eye emoji.
We don’t know for sure, but it certainly seems like a second season of Normal People could be in the works — and, naturally, fans are kind of losing it.
