Heartstopper has quickly become one of Netflix’s best shows with some of the most iconic YA LGBTQ+ relationships. The second season was released toward the end of the summer on the 2023 TV schedule, and it was met with high praise, especially from the LGBTQ+ community who often feel validated by stories like Nick's, Isaac's and more. Season 3 was green-lit alongside Season 2 back when the series premiered, so it’s no surprise that Alice Oseman and the team behind the webcomic-turned-hit show are hard at work getting Season 3 ready. And they've just confirmed a new character who I can't wait to see!
Back in September Netflix released the title of the first episode of the upcoming installment, and now they’re back with more Season 3 Heartstopper news. Creator Alice Oseman shared the announcement on her personal Instagram revealing that beloved character Michael Holden will be joining the story, and Darragh Hand has been tasked with bringing him to life.
