Normal People star Daisy Edgar-Jones has revealed she would be up for a second season.
The actor, who played Marianne Sheridan in the hit 2020 BBC Three show, shared what she knew about a possible second season - almost a month on from her recent reunion with co-star Paul Mescal.
"No, there is no season two that I know of!" Edgar-Jones told Entertainment Tonight in a new interview. "It was really special. I love those characters and that world. I would love to revisit where they are ten years later."

Edgar-Jones and Mescal teased they had some "news to share" in late May, with some fans hoping for a season two announcement. The pair later confirmed they were joining forces for a charity auction.
"Hello. The news is, and we are incredibly sorry if we led people on, it's not a season two," said Mescal in their joint Instagram video at the time.
Edgar-Jones added: "Not yet! There's still time. Keep the faith!"

Normal People was the most-streamed TV series for the BBC in 2020, with the show - based on Sally Rooney's book of the same name - having been watched over 62 million times.
In 2022, Edgar-Jones said she had no idea how successful the show was going to be at the time of filming.
"When I did Normal People, I had no idea what was going to happen and thank goodness, as I would have been too terrified to do anything," she said in an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

Edgar-Jones is next on screen in Twisters alongside Anyone But You's Glen Powell in a follow-up to the popular 1996 tornado film.
Normal People is available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
