Hit drama Normal People is set to return to our screens for two comic relief specials this week.
The specials will air tonight on RTÉ Does Comic Relief in Ireland and fans will get to see what direction Connell and Marianne's lives go in, 40 years later.
Director Lenny Abrahamson and stars Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones will all return for the much-coveted follow up to the show.
Director Abrahamson told RTÉ Radio One: "There's a beautiful piece called Normal Older People , which is imagining what would have happened to Marianne and Connell 40 years from now.
"I promise you, these are two very special bits.
"It's so much better than anything we've ever made. I mean I can't even say all about it because there's a guest star in it. But it's really, it's really beautiful.
"One of the things about Comic Relief is it just gives opportunities for things to happen that would never happen. I can't imagine any context in which they would have allowed this little sort of extra special into the world of Normal People."
In regards to Comic Relief as a whole he said: "I just got sent the rundown of everything that's going to be happening on the night
"I was thinking what's it like, and it's like a fridge in a hotel where you open it up and you see all these perfect little miniatures. You think, 'Well, I'll have all of them.' There are so many great bits."
You can watch the specials on RTÉ Does Comic Relief which airs today on RTÉ One from 8pm.
