Heartstopper Season 3 Potential Release Date, Plot, Cast and News
If you can’t wait for the premiere of the next part of Charlie and Nick’s story, don’t worry: new episodes are coming soon. In addition, more details about season 3 are emerging, including information about new characters.
For those who don’t know, the series is based on a webcomic and graphic novel by British author Alice Oseman.
The series consists of four published parts: Part 5 was released in December 2023 and Part 6 does not yet have a publication date. So far, Netflix has adapted the story from the first three parts, so there is still a lot to tell about Nick and Charlie’s love story.
Find out what’s already known about the next season of this heartwarming LGBTQ+ coming-of-age story.
Heartstopper season 3 release date
The third part of the series will soon be available on Netflix October 2024.
Heartstopper season 3 plot
Season 2 of Heartstopper ended on a significant cliffhanger. After a difficult conversation about bullying at school related to coming out, Nick finally confessed his love to Charlie. On the way home, feeling safe and happy, Charlie responded with a confession of love of his own, and at the last moment he kept his finger on the send button.
Season 1 depicted the events from the first two parts of the graphic novel, while Season 2 featured the story from Part 3. So the upcoming season will most likely adapt the events of Part 4 of the comic book, with the characters heading to high school. However, it is uncertain whether the creators of the series will organize the events in exactly the same way.
As Alice Oseman said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
I feel very comfortable letting the show be its own thing. To me, the show and the comic feel very separate, even though it’s a pretty faithful adaptation. I’m excited to expand Heartstopper for the show.
In season 3, we can definitely look forward to seeing Tara and Darcy’s love story develop and finding out whether or not Darcy will come out to her parents. Tao and Elle have professed their love for each other, but the girl’s decision to attend Lambert Art School could put a strain on their relationship.
In the next season of Heartstopper, we can also expect Isaac to explore his asexuality. According to Oseman, Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi’s storyline will also be expanded in the new episodes of the show.
