A series that fans have branded the "best they've ever watched" is set to join the Disney Plus streaming line-up.
Adapted from Sally Rooney's critically acclaimed novel, Normal People follows the intense bond between two Irish teenagers as they grow up. The series stars Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, portraying Marianne, who faces bullying at school, and Connell, who enjoys widespread popularity, and the complications that arise during their relationship.
While already available on Hulu, UK audiences have been eagerly awaiting its release on Disney Plus, which is scheduled for July.
The official description from Hulu states: "Normal People is an exquisite, modern love story about how one person can unexpectedly change another person's life and about how complicated intimacy can be.
"It follows Marianne and Connell over several years-both from a small west of Ireland town, but from very different backgrounds-as they embark on an on-again/off-again romance that starts at school and continues through college, testing their relationship as they explore different versions of themselves."

Since its 2020 debut, the show has garnered glowing reviews. A Google review from a viewer reads: "Wondrous, magical, messy, complicated and oh so relatable 'Normal People' is one show that revels in nuance and subtlety - capturing each moment in all its raw emotive glory."
Another wrote: "This TV show is exquisite in all its aspects: from the shots to the actors and of course the story."
A third added: "This is one of the best series I have ever watched. It is messy, cute, sometimes awkward, and uncomfortable and that's what makes it feel all 'normal'."
Over on Reddit, one user described it as the "most devastating romance", adding: "I have rarely been invested in anything as much as I was invested in the relationship of the two main characters probably the best pair of star crossed lovers I have ever seen."

Another shared: "That one stayed with me for a long time. It's incredibly real, in the production as well as the writing, which makes it exceptionally absorbing. I related a lot, too."
Yet, not all viewers are convinced, with one commenting: "The acting is rest is so miserable it's hard to comprehend."
And another stated: "Call me boring or whatsoever but I don't understand the whole point of this show."
The series has garnered significant praise, including bagging a BAFTA, and rumours of a second series are circulating among the fanbase, though confirmation remains pending.
