TORONTO – The TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s blockbuster book “Normal People” reaches Canadian audiences later this month.

CBC Gem says it will start streaming the 12-part series May 27, and says two new episodes will be released each Wednesday.

The show is based on Rooney’s bestselling novel about two young people growing up in Ireland.

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal star as the mismatched pair at the centre of the coming-of-age love story.

“Room” filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson directed the first six episodes, and Hettie Macdonald of “Howards End” shot the remainder.

The BBC/Hulu production hit screens in the United States and United Kingdom late last month.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 8, 2020.
