Adaptation Of Sally Rooney’s ‘Normal People’ Gets New Trailer & April Premiere Date On BBC iPlayer & Hulu

by Dave Elliott

Element Pictures’ has released a new trailer for the highly anticipated TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s international literary phenomenon Normal People, which will premiere this April on BBC Three/iPlayer in the UK, and Hulu in the USA.

The series, which stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (‘War Of The Worlds’, ‘Cold Feet’) as Marianne and Paul Mescal, in his first television role, as Connell, will land as a boxset on BBC Three on 26th April 2020. It will also air on BBC One (date to be confirmed) and will be released in the US on Hulu on April 29th.

Produced by award-winning International production company Element Pictures, and adapted by Sally Rooney alongside writers Alice Birch and Mark O’Rowe, ‘Normal People’ is a 12-part drama for BBC Three in partnership with Hulu, and tells an exquisite and compulsive modern love story about how two people can profoundly impact each other’s lives.

‘Normal People’ tracks the tender but complicated relationship of Marianne and Connell from the end of their school days in a small town west of Ireland to their undergraduate years at Trinity College. At school, he’s well-liked and popular, while she’s lonely, proud and intimidating. But when Connell comes to pick up his mother from her cleaning job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers – one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying in Dublin and Marianne has found her feet in a new social world but Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain.

Honest, smart and intoxicating, ‘Normal People’ sees the pair weave in and out of each other’s lives and explores just how complicated intimacy and young love can be.

Filming took place in Dublin, Sligo, Italy and Sweden with Oscar-nominated director Lenny Abrahamson (‘Room’, ‘The Little Stranger’, ‘Frank’) and award-winning director Hettie McDonald (‘Howard’s End’).

Normal People‘ premieres Sunday, 26th April 2020 on BBC Three/iPlayer for the UK. In the US, the series premieres Wednesday, April 29th on Hulu.
