Netflix’s teen series “Heartstopper” has been loved far and wide when it premieres in April 2022, and we officially have our first glimpse of season two. On July 1, Netflix released the first official teaser for the highly anticipated second season of the show. The best part? In new footage, Nick, Charlie and their friends are seen on their way to Paris.
The streamer previously released first-look photos on May 24, a month after the cast celebrated the show’s one-year anniversary by previewing the new season and announcing its summer premiere date in a video. And on June 17 at the TUDUM fan event, Netflix released the first look at episode one — and all of the episode titles.
On December 2, 2022, Netflix revealed that season two of the show had officially completed filming. The media company posted a photo of actors Kit Connor and Joe Locke with writer Alice Ossman on Instagram, along with the caption, “And this is the finale of ‘Heartstopper’ Season 2… à bientot!”
The French phrase, which translates to “see you soon,” makes total sense as the cast were spotted around Paris filming. As well, “Heartstopper” is based on a series of young-adult graphic novels by Osman, and in the books the cast heads to the City of Love. Osman told followers on Instagram at the time, “This is the finale of ‘Heartstopper’ Season 2! It’s been an incredibly difficult few months on set with many new challenges for the cast and crew, but everyone has been able to rise to those challenges.” Enabled.” Passion, skill and determination. Thank you so much to every single member of the cast and crew – everyone has worked ridiculously hard and given their all, and for that I am forever grateful. This season is going to be so magical and I can’t wait to start post-production!”
In June 2022, Netflix announced that the show has been renewed for not only season two, but season three as well. Season one adapted the first two volumes of “Heartstopper” and season two is focusing on volume three. Osman is planning a fifth and final volume of the series (expected to be released this December), but it’s not yet clear whether the last two books will be included in the show’s third season or whether the streamer will give the series a go. No fourth season to wrap up many of its threads.
Before Netflix announced the renewal of “Heartstopper,” the show’s creative team hinted at where the series would go next. Osman told Digital Spy in April 2022, “I would definitely like to bring in themes of mental health, because it’s something that’s really important in the books.” “The challenge of writing ‘Heartstopper’ is exploring those deeper issues. The tone is so upbeat and optimistic. It’s been a struggle for me writing this the whole time. But I like to think that it’s possible.” [laughs], I feel like I’ve got it in the books.”
Osman also revealed that in future seasons, the scope of the story would possibly expand and include some teachers as well, not just the teenage students who have been the focus of the show so far. Osman said in an April interview, “We’ll move on to the third volume of the books. And that’s when the teacher romance happens.” “So in the show, we’ve already got Mr. Ajayi, but there’s also Mr. Farooq in the books, who comes in volume three. And they have this kind of interesting friendship going on in the background that eventually becomes something more.” “
Ahead, here’s everything we know so far about “Heartstopper” season two.
