Good news for fans of “Heartstopper”! Season 3 is on the way. In May 2022, shortly after the first season, Netflix announced that “Heartstopper” was not only getting a second season but also a third one.

“Heartstopper” is based on a graphic novel and webcomic series by Alice Oseman. It’s received a lot of love from viewers and critics for its positive portrayal of young queer people. The show has become super popular on Netflix, and it has a big and devoted fanbase. Some fans have even shared how the show encouraged them to come out.

The story is about Nick and Charlie, and their love story is continuing to unfold on screen. Here’s a quick guide to what we know about “Heartstopper” season 3, including the trailer, the plot, the cast, and when it’s coming to Netflix.

In this article, we will guide everything you need to know about Heartstopper Season 3: Release, Cast and Everything We Know.

Heartstopper Season 3 Release: When Will It Come Out?

“Heartstopper” Season 3 is indeed in the works, and it’s no surprise given its excellent 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. While there’s no official release date for Season 3 yet, Netflix confirmed in October 2023 that filming has already started.

Intriguingly, “What’s On Netflix” also gave fans a first look at Season 3 with set photos, showing the cast filming scenes on a beach in Lyme Regis, Dorset, Wales.

It’s worth noting that the ongoing Hollywood actors’ strike doesn’t affect the filming of “Heartstopper” Season 3 because it’s produced in the UK.

Season 2 was filmed from September to December 2022 and was released on Netflix on August 3, 2023.

You’ve made a reasonable assumption there. If “Heartstopper” Season 3 follows a similar production schedule as the previous season, wrapping up filming in December 2023, it could potentially be ready for release on Netflix in the summer of 2024.

Given that Seasons 1 and 2 were released in 2022 and 2023, respectively, it’s quite possible that Season 3 will continue this pattern and make its debut in 2024. Fans will likely be eagerly awaiting its release!

Heartstopper season 3 cast

Kit Connor and Joe Locke, who play Nick and Charlie, are an integral part of “Heartstopper,” and their return is crucial for the show’s success.

As Nick and Charlie’s relationship develops, they’ll have the support of their close friends, including Elle (Yasmin Finney), Tao (William Gao), Tara (Corinna Brown), Darcy (Kizzy Edgell), and Isaac (Tobie Donovan).

However, it’s been confirmed that Sebastian Croft, who portrays Ben, will not be returning for Season 3. In Season 2, Ben’s character had a complex arc that ended with him leaving Truham and apologizing to Charlie for his past behavior. Charlie, in turn, didn’t let him off the hook and expressed how Ben’s toxic behavior had affected him. Sebastian Croft has expressed satisfaction with the way his character’s story was handled, avoiding a simple redemption arc. The show’s creator, Alice Oseman, praised Croft for his portrayal of this challenging character.

Based on the graphic novels by Alice Oseman, it’s likely that much of the main cast will return for Season 3, with a focus on the central characters. Fans can look forward to more developments in the lives of Nick and Charlie.

• Kit Connor as Nick Nelson
• Joe Locke as Charlie Spring
• William Gao as Tao Xu
• Yasmin Finney as Elle Argent
• Rhea Norwood as Imogen Heaney
• Kizzy Edgell as Darcy Olssen
• Corinna Brown as Tara Jones
• Tobie Donovan as Isaac Henderson

Heartstopper Season 3 plot: What will it be about?

While official plot details for “Heartstopper” Season 3 haven’t been revealed, it’s safe to assume that it will follow the events of Volume 4 of the Heartstopper graphic novel series, similar to how Season 2 followed Volume 3.

In Volume 4, the story picks up from where Season 2 left off, with Charlie wanting to express those three important words to Nick: “I love you.” Nick shares the same feelings, but he has his own challenges to face after coming out to his dad and dealing with concerns about Charlie’s eating disorder. These elements will likely continue to play a significant role in Season 3.

Fans can also expect the ongoing character arcs within their friendship group to continue, such as Tara and Darcy’s relationship, Isaac’s journey with asexuality, Elle and Tao’s long-distance relationship, and potential romantic developments for Imogen regarding Sahar.

It’s worth noting that Alice Oseman, the show’s creator, has the creative freedom to deviate from the books while staying true to the source material. As she mentioned in an interview, she is committed to preserving important moments from the comics in the show. However, there is plenty of room to explore new plot details and character developments in Season 3.

Oseman feels comfortable allowing the show to be its own entity while expanding upon the “Heartstopper” world for the TV series. This means that fans can expect surprises and fresh storylines while still enjoying the essence of the source material.

Is there a Heartstopper Season 3 trailer?
