‘Normal People’ Actor Say He’d Prefer No Sequel For Hit Drama Starring Paul Mescal, Daisy Edgar-Jones


The hit TV series adapted from Sally Rooney's bestseller made stars of Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

But one of the cast, Irish actor Éanna Hardwicke, has shared he doesn’t like the idea of a sequel, as he’s “not a fan of rehashing things.” The BBC drama was adapted by writer Sally Rooney from her own bestselling novel and followed the on-off relationship of Irish teenagers Marianne and Connell. Edgar-Jones has gone on to star in Under the Banner of Heaven on TV, and films Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters, while Mescal has been Oscar-nominated for Aftersun and recently took the lead in Ridley Scott’s big-budget Gladiator sequel.
