Netflix has issued an update on the release date of Heartstopper season two. Based on Alice Oseman’s best-selling graphic novels of the same name, the coming-of-age drama follows a friendship between high school students Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) that blossoms into something more.
The series has been praised for its portrayal of LGBTQ+ stories, including trans and bisexual characters and the challenges they face. The first season proved a huge hit when it dropped in April last year and spent five weeks in the streamer’s top 10 shows in the UK.
Fans of the show have been eagerly awaiting news of its return ever since, and on the anniversary of its release on Sunday, Netflix sent fans in a spin when it posted a cryptic tweet hinting that news was coming this week. Now Netflix has confirmed exactly what’s in store for the future of the show.
