In 2020, when the world crashed, people were looking for new shows to watch. One of the great shows of the time was normal people, The Hulu limited series based on the bestselling novel by Sally Rooney. As the show ends where the book ends, fans still want a second season, and apparently its protagonist Paul Mescal does too.
Since the show premiered, its two stars, Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, have grown into big stars and highly sought after actors. During the promotion of his new film After the sun Mescal was asked about the possibility of another season of Normal people. Even though he hasn’t heard anything, he likes the idea. He said in an interview with HQ :
There was no more conversation than the fact that I wanted to drive from the front and make it happen somehow. I’m very professional in Season 2, but honestly that’s not expected to happen.
As someone who loves this show, it brings me so much joy to hear how much it means to the people who made it. Like the series that brought them to the world, I imagine it holds a special place in the hearts of Mescal and Edgar-Jones. So it makes sense that the actor is in favor of the second season.
The electrical chemistry between the two actors, who are also off-screen friends , that’s a big reason it was so good. This is probably why the great love story they told was and is so loved by viewers and critics in general. So seeing them both together on screen, whether in a season 2 or a completely different project, would be great.
In addition to the enthusiastic general reception of the show, it has also received critical acclaim. She has received four Emmy nominations, including one for Mescal, as well as three BAFTA nominations, including one for acting.
After the success of normal peopleMescal and Edgar-Jones were in high demand and throughout 2022 cinema calendar Yes TV show .
The actress starred opposite Sebastian Stan in the thriller New, and co-stars with Andrew Garfield in Under the banner of heavenaccompanied by a some other project . Time Garfield intends to play a billionaire after the real FX crime show, Edgar-Jones starred in the best-selling adaptation of the novel where the crabs sing, and will resume his role in war of words.
Meanwhile, Mescal has been busy starring in films, including that of Maggie Gyllenhaal. the lost girl as well as the independent film God’s creatures. This year he played After the sun which is currently in theaters, and an adaptation of the work Carmen. In addition to all this, the actor will be in many other films, where he will star alongside actors such as Saoirse Ronan in Enemy as well as Claire Foy and Andrew Scott in strangers.
So even if Mescal is all for a season 2 of normal people, how busy their stars are, I highly doubt we will have one. And if we do, it probably won’t be for a while. However, it is exciting to hear that the actor wants one and is ready to lead the fight for it. Meanwhile, you can still see him with Edgar-Jones in the show’s first season with a Hulu subscription . Also be sure to keep an eye out 2023 cinema calendar for news on the many upcoming projects from Mescal and Edgar-Jones.
