Netflix’s Heartstopper Renewed for Seasons 2 and 3

Perhaps knowing that approximately a bazillion strongly worded DMs would be in its future if it didn’t renew Heartstopper, Netflix has ordered a second and a third season of the supremely joyful British coming-of-age romance.
Those of you who have already binged the eight half-hour episodes that make up Season 1 know that it follows teenagers Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) and Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) as they go from deskmates to chums to boyfriends.
In TVLine’s review, we noted that “it’s written so earnestly, acted so deftly and directed so thrillingly that its impact is profound.” Ninety-six percent of viewers who participated in the poll that followed our recap of the finale gave it a grade of “A.”
Season 1 of Heartstopper covers material from the first two volumes in Alice Oseman’s graphic-novel (and webcomic) series. There remain two more volumes, plus a final one that is due out in February 2023. Oseman’s debut novel, Solitaire, focuses on Charlie’s scene-stealing sibling, who sprinkles “older sister magic” throughout Heartstopper.
TVLine has confirmed that Oseman will return as writer/EP on Seasons 2 and 3.
So, on a scale of one to 10, how thrilled are you that Netflix has decided to let us — and dear Isaac along with us — go on believing in romance?
Yay best news! This has been my favorite show in ages. I binged the whole thing in a night.
Absolutely this renewal is a 10! It does not make up for the CW canceling virtually every show with significant queer representation but does provide a glimmer of hope.
So, so happy for this news – the first season was one of the finest seasons of TV I’ve seen in a long time. Bring on Paris!
Good. I wish there was a show like this around when I was a teenager. Not only is it fantastic, but it’s happy, optimistic, and it doesn’t showcase LGBT+ relationships as tragic or tinged in pain. I’ve often heard people refer to shows as important. I really think this one could be for a whole generation of kids, and-like the show itself, that makes me smile.
Best news ever ! Can’t wait to watch S2 and S3 !
There are 2 novellas about Charlie & Nick: Charlie & Nick and This Winter. The 5th book was supposed to be out this year, it seems she’s postponing it when S2 airs
So excited for this and absolutely deserved! Season 1 was the most enjoyable season of tv I’ve watched in ages.
Best. News. Ever.
I mean, I’m not surprised. It’s an international phenomenon. I couldn’t imagine there NOT being at least one more season.
AMAZING!!! Hopefully with all of the attention these young stars (behind and in front of the camera) are getting this will lock in the script development and then shooting ASAP!!
So happy!

Sunshine in our souls is needed no matter age or years! Thrilled that NetFlix and Heartstopper is a win/win with seasons 2&3!
Yes! Omg I’m so happy! I love this show and I can’t wait to see more!
Which one’s the rugby player?
They both played rugby in Season 1. One was good at it, and one wasn’t.
YESSSS!! So excited for this, and it’s so well deserved!! Amazing show! Can’t wait to see more😍
