Netflix continued its description of Heartstopper Season 3, saying: “As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realize 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.”
The series has followed the friends-to-lovers story of Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor) since it first debuted to audiences in 2022, though the graphic novels that the show is based on, written by Alice Oseman, were published in 2019.
In addition to the announcement on X, Netflix similarly shared some behind-the-scenes footage of Heartstopper Season 3.

The video, which features much of the cast, including Yasmin Finney (Elle Argent) and William Gao (Tao Xu), was filmed on the set of Season 3’s finale episode and discusses what to expect in the show’s third instalment.
The clip opens on Connor teasing that Nick and Charlie’s relationship gets more intimate in the new episodes.
“It’s started to get a bit more steamy,” said Connor. “The tension is high. It’s like sexual tension, love, we’re all there.”
Fans of the cosy queer series took to social media following the announcement to share their excitement for Hearstopper’s upcoming third season.
