Netflix’s hit show Heartstopper is on its way back with season three, released on Netflix on 3 October.
The acclaimed series is inspired by the graphic novel by Alice Oseman, who acts as writer and producer.
Following the first season in 2022, Netflix quickly confirmed not one but TWO more seasons.
Now season three is on its way with a brand new trailer just revealed…
Kit Connor and Joe Locke will be back to reprise their lead roles as Nick and Charlie.
The key cast will also feature William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser and Rhea Norwood, Leila Khan.
In Season 3, Charlie would like to tell Nick that he loves him. Nick also has something important to say to Charlie. As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realise that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges.
As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and parties and start thinking about university choices, everyone must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn’t go to plan.
Alice Oseman, Creator & Writer, said: “I cannot wait for the third season of Heartstopper to be released in October. Season two ended with Nick beginning to understand the extent of Charlie’s mental health issues, and it’s this that will drive the story through season three.
“While Heartstopper will always celebrate the joyful and point towards hope, I’m really excited that we are allowing the tone of the show to mature alongside our beloved characters growing up.
“Mental health, sex, university ambitions and more: Nick, Charlie, and the Heartstopper teens are getting older, learning more about themselves and each other, and experiencing new desires, new fears, and new joys as they approach adulthood.”
As for what else to expect from the next set of episodes, we already know that Ben (played by Sebastian Croft) will not appear.
Meanwhile, Eddie Marsan (Back to Black and Ray Donovan), Hayley Atwell (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Captain America: The First Avenger) and Jonathan Bailey (Fellow Travelers and Bridgerton) join the cast of Heartstopper S3.
Alice Oseman, added: “I am incredibly excited to be welcoming three new cast members to the Heartstopper family. Hayley Atwell joins the Nelson family as Nick’s Aunt Diane, who takes Nick on a summer holiday to Menorca and has some tough advice to impart about his relationship.
“Eddie Marsan will be portraying a beloved character from the graphic novels: Geoff, Charlie’s wise and straight-talking therapist. And lastly, Jonathan Bailey will be making a cameo appearance as Jack Maddox, an Instagram-famous classicist and celebrity crush of Charlie.
“It was an absolute joy to see Hayley, Eddie, and Jonathan’s talent alongside our existing cast, and I can’t wait for the Heartstopper fans to meet these new characters.”
Speaking previously about renewing the series for two more seasons, executive producer Patrick Walters said: “We put so much love into the making of Heartstopper so to reassemble the team for two more seasons is a dream come true.
“I’m forever grateful to Alice Oseman for entrusting us with this beautiful, unique story that at its core seeks to uplift the next generation of young LGBTQ+ people. Stay tuned!”
For now the first two seasons are available to stream on Netflix here.
