In the image, the adorable couple are both wearing summer outfits consisting of shorts and a T-shirt as they smile at a man sitting opposite them.

Season 2 is set to see the return of Nick and Charlie's friends Elle (played by Yasmin Finney), Tao (William Gao), Tara (Corinna Brown), Darcy (Kizzy Edgell) and Isaac (Tobie Donovan) as well as the return of Olivia Colman as Nicks mum.

Kit Connor recently revealed his hopes for future episodes, saying: "In terms of, I suppose what I'd like to see for Nick; I think just the strengthening of Nick and Charlie's relationship. In season one, we very much see the young love and the beginnings of their relationship.

"And I think that it would be lovely, you know – not just to act – also just to see, as well, their relationship just, sort of, get stronger and blossom."

Earlier this year, Heartstopper creator Alice Oseman told Digital Spy what she hoped to bring to future series.

"[I] definitely want to be bringing in the themes of mental health, because that's something that's really important in the books," she said.

"The challenge of writing Heartstopper is exploring those darker issues while keeping the tone so optimistic and hopeful. That has been, like, the struggle of writing it for me the whole way through."

Heartstopper is streaming on Netflix. Seasons 2 and 3 have been confirmed.
