Tickets for the screening will be raffled off through a donation link for the charities.
Stars of Normal People Paul Mescal and Daisy-Edgar Jones will be reuniting for a special marathon screening of the miniseries, followed by a Q&A.
All proceeds from the raffle will be going to sucide and self harm prevention charity Pieta, as well as international children's charity UNICEF.
Mescal and Edgar-Jones will attend the event, taking place June 16 at a Central London cinema, as well as director Lenny Abrahamson, producer Ed Guiney and other “friends from the show.”
The duo caused a stir on the internet on Tuesday when they posted a selfie together with the caption, “We’ve got some news to share!! Watch this space.”
The producer of Normal People, Element Pictures, also reposted the picture, inciting rumours that the announcement was somehow related to the show.
