Fans of the hit show Normal People, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, are in a frenzy after Edgar-Jones seemed to tease a second season of the series.

The star took to Instagram to post a selfie with Mescal that she captioned: ‘We’ve got some news to share!! Watch this space.’

The image shows the two actors cosied up and flashing peace signs (or are they ‘twos’ for season two?) at the camera.

Fans quickly took to social media to express their hope that an announcement about a follow up season of the hit show will soon arrive.

Based on the novel of the same name by Sally Rooney, Normal People came out in 2020 and sky rocketed Mescal and Edgar-Jones to stardom.

The show, which was nominated for four Emmy Awards and was an international hit, follows the relationship between Marianne Sheridan (Edgar-Jones) and Connell Waldron (Mescal), as they come of age and fall in and out of a romantic and sexual entanglement.

The first series included the entire plot of the novel, which made a second season seem unlikely – though that didn’t stop die hard fans from hoping for more of the steamy show.

Now, a second season seems imminent, to the delight of many fans online.

Another user, @suiselife, responded to a post about the Instagram story with: ‘Our prayers have finally been answered.’

User @lanikaps wrote: ‘If we’re getting Normal People season 2 I will melt.’

One observant fan account, @paulmescalfiles, pointed out that Element pictures, who made the show in 2019, also posted the image of the pair.

In the past, the director of the series, Lenny Abrahamson, told Radio Times: ‘I have a fantasy of doing a kind of 10-year seeing where they are in 10 years’ time sort of thing,’ when he was asked about the possibility of a second season.

Still, there has never been any real evidence that a second season is on the cards.

Hulu did not order a second season of the series, though Mescal did share his enthusiasm for more with GQ in 2022: ‘There’s been no conversation other than the fact that I would like to lead from the front and make it happen somehow. I’m very pro-season 2, but honestly, there’s no plans in place for that to happen.’

For now, fans continue to wait eagerly for more information from the stars of the show.
