by

As a rabid fan of Heartstopper, I must say that the anticipation for season 3 is as palpable as Charlie’s feelings for Nick! The cliffhanger at the end of season 2 left us all hanging, and I can hardly wait to see if they finally confess their love for each other.

Heartstopper, featuring Joe Locke as Charlie Spring and Kit Connor as Nick Nelson, is ready for its third season debut. Right from their initial ‘hello’, it’s clear that electricity fills the air between these two characters. The series is an adaptation of a novel centered around Charlie, a teenager openly identifying as gay, and his romantic journey with Nick Nelson, who acknowledges his bisexuality. Season 2 concluded on a bittersweet note, as they stood on the brink of confessing their feelings for each other but hesitated.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but wonder: Will they pull off another heartwarming story in Heartstopper season 3? Here’s all the latest scoop on what’s brewing for the new chapter, including cast updates, plot twists, potential release dates, and more. However, it seems that a few familiar faces may not be reprising their roles this time around. Keep reading to uncover the surprises in store!

Heartstopper season 3’s episode titles

In October 3, 2024, Netflix will broadcast Heartstopper season 3. The first episode, titled “Love,” is set to air in September 2023, marking a significant moment for Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) as they express their feelings by taking the final step to say “I Love You.” Subsequent episodes will be titled “Home,” “Talk,” “Journey,” “Winter,” “Body,” “Together,” and “Apart.”

Discussing the anticipation for this upcoming season, Oseman shared with Tudum in August 2023, “Those who have read the comics will have an idea of what’s to come, but I want to avoid spoiling it for those not familiar with the comics. The ending of Season 2 lays the groundwork for discussions in the next season. It’s clear that Charlie is in love with Nick, and I believe we can also see that Nick feels the same way towards Charlie. It’s all about when and how they will express their feelings to each other.”

Who is not returning for Heartstopper season 3?

In this season, you won’t see Sebastian Croft’s character. Previously, he portrayed Ben who tormented Charlie in the first season. However, his character arc has concluded, leading him to exit the series. Oseman stated, “Ben’s journey in Heartstopper has come full circle… I am incredibly proud and grateful that Sebastian was a part of Heartstopper. I know he will continue to achieve great things, and I will be supporting him every step of the way.”

Actress Olivia Colman won’t be returning for this season, as she was the one who portrayed Nick’s mom. She shared her disappointment about not being able to find the time to film for this season, revealing that the set felt like another family to her.

Who are the new cast members joining?

Darragh Hand will be part of the cast, playing the character Michael Holden. It’s worth noting that he is also a significant figure in Nicola Oseman’s other novel, Solitaire, where the story centers around Charlie’s sister. In Heartstopper season 3, we can expect to see Michael for the first time, and according to the showrunner, Darragh is an ideal fit for the role.

Back in April 2024, it was additionally disclosed that actors like Jonathan Bailey, Hayley Atwell, and Eddie Marsan would also join this venture. However, specifics about the roles they will play remain undisclosed.

As an over-the-moon fan, let me spill: Heartstopper wrapped up filming by December 2023! Alice Oseman shared her heartfelt thanks in an Instagram post to the cast and crew for their unwavering commitment, talent, and perseverance throughout the past 11 weeks. The third season will venture into unexplored territories, and I’m thrilled that our beloved Heartstopper family tackled a host of new challenges head-on. Their efforts have been nothing short of amazing, and I can hardly wait to see the magic we’ve all been creating!

Having wrapped up season 2, it’s become evident that season 3 will delve deeper into the narrative, given the revelation of Charlie’s struggle with an eating disorder. This exploration promises a more comprehensive approach to addressing mental health issues within the series.

In addition to discussing the storyline, Joe Locke hinted at delving into the complexities of relationships, including their more private and sensual dimensions. It certainly appears that this will make for an intriguing and passionate viewing experience.
