As seen in the new trailer for “Normal People,” the series tells the story of the on-again/off-again romance between Marianne and Connell that spans their high school years and through college. The trailer doesn’t give too much away about the plot of the series, only to show that the characters do reconnect and continue their torrid romance as adults. Will they end up together or go on separate paths eventually? Watch and find out.
The series is based on the bestselling novel by author Sally Rooney. The author co-wrote the 12-episode series alongside Alice Birch and Mark O’Rowe. “Normal People” stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal.
“Normal People” is partially directed by Lenny Abrahamson. He’s probably best known for his Oscar-winning feature “Room,” starring Brie Larson. Most recently, he directed the horror film “The Little Stranger.” Director Hettie McDonald helmed the other episodes.
“Normal People” debuts on Hulu this spring.
Here’s the synopsis:
