Normal People Season 2 Release Date
The release date for Normal People Season 2 cannot be discussed in great detail. The series’ renewal for a second season has not been officially announced by the creators. Hulu and BBC Three are silent on this subject. Furthermore, it’s been said that season 1 almost finished the novel’s arc, so what can season 2 offer us?
