With Heartstopper’s debut adapting the first two volumes of the graphic novels, the new season will bring the third to life. 🍂 That's a wrap on Heartstopper Season 2 🍂 /ujMlOo7oKh On 24 April, Netflix revealed via an announcement video with the cast that season two will drop all eight episodes on 3 August. While we wait with bated breath for more official announcements, we’ve compiled a list of everything we know about the highly-anticipated second season of Heartstopper below.

In addition, the cast were catapulted to worldwide superstardom with Locke’s involvement in the upcoming MCU series Agatha: Coven of Chaos and Finney’s groundbreaking casting in Doctor Who. With a majority of mainstream queer shows and films still depicting tired trauma elements such as bullying, homophobia and – at times – death, Heartstopper accrued millions of dedicated fans around the world for its unwavering focus on love, joy and acceptance. The teen comedy-drama follows the wholesome romance between high schoolers Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), while also exploring the lives of their close-knit circle: Tao (William Gao), Elle (Yasmin Finney), Tara (Corinna Brown) and Darcy (Kizzy Edgell).

Based on the adored webcomic/graphic novel of the same name from Alice Oseman, the first season of the Netflix series launched last year to overwhelming praise from both longtime fans, new viewers and critics. It’s practically impossible – IMPOSSIBLE! – to remember a time before Heartstopper.
