Normal People
From Thursday 25 May 9:30 PM
Based on Sally Rooney’s eponymous best-selling novel, Normal People follows two teenagers in Ireland as they wade into the trials of early adulthood and eventually life as we know it.
In a school in a small west of Ireland town, Connell (Paul Mescal) is a well-liked, good looking and athletic football player and Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is a proud, intimidating and unpopular loner, who actively avoids her classmates and challenges teachers’ authority. Over the years the two drift together and apart again. They have other relationships (some healthy, some not) and as they face their own crises, they remain a constant for the other.
Normal People will premiere with a double episode on SBS on Thursday, 25 May at 9.30pm, and air weekly. Episodes will be available on SBS On Demand immediately after airing.
