This exquisite and compulsive modern love story will be released on the following digital platforms: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Sky Store and Virgin Media .
Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (War Of The Worlds, Cold Feet) as Marianne and Paul Mescal, in his first television role, as Connell, the series follows these two people navigating adulthood in contemporary Ireland, and their complicated relationship from the end of their school days in Sligo to their undergraduate years at Trinity College. It also stars Sarah Greene (Dublin Murders, Rosie) and Aislin McGuckin (Outlander).
Audiences the world over have fallen for this honest, smart and intoxicating storyline that sees the pair weave in and out of each other’s lives, exploring how complicated intimacy and young love can be. From record-breaking numbers of viewers to sold-out Connell replica chains, the show has also amassed an array of global celebrity fans from Winona Ryder and Kourtney Kardashian to James Corden and Jodie Comer; firmly establishing Normal People at the centre of the cultural narrative of 2020.
