Normal People director teases second season could revisit Marianne and Connell in ‘five years’

Fans are begging the show's producers for a second season

Normal People director Lenny Abrahamson has revealed he would love to revisit Marianne and Connell in five years time – if the show ever returns for a second season.

Although there are no concrete plans to film any more episodes, the show’s director has opened up about the possibility of another season.

“We’ve talked about the possibility of how interesting it would be to check back in with them,” he told Deadline.

“But apart from just general musings and over a drink, no, there have been no concrete discussions about what it would be like.”

“As Sally [Rooney] says, the book stops where it stops because it feels right,” he added.

“But, I have a sneaking thing in the back of my head that if everybody was willing, and if the stars aligned, I’d love to revisit them in five years and find out what happened, where they are.”

“Is somebody a father or a mother? What relationships are they in that then get disrupted by their meeting again?”

“But it would be really strange to pick that up eight weeks later with him traveling to New York, I think. There needs to be time.”

On this week’s episode of the Gosscast, Goss.ie Founder & CEO Ali Ryan opens up about her own experiences with double standards, gender inequality and sexism both in the workplace and in society in general.

Joining her this week is top Irish fitness coach Kiki Fit, who opens up about her own troubling experiences with harassment, as well as the struggle to be taken seriously as a woman in business.
