Normal People was adapted for BBC Three last year. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal played the on-off couple Marianne and Connell. The series shows teenagers from opposite tax brackets who come together due to their love of literature and distaste for their less industrious peers. A mini-series based on Conversations with Friends is also in the making.
