Fans of Netflix’s popular series Heartstopper, based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, will soon reunite with their favorite characters. Season 3 is set to premiere in October, but before its release, Netflix UK has already shared the episode titles, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come.
The premiere episode, titled “Love,” is expected to focus on Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) as they show their feelings for each other. As the season progresses, viewers can anticipate more emotional drama and darker moments.
The second episode is titled “Home,” featuring Elle Argent (Yasmin Finney) and Tao Xu (William Gao) in a tender moment. This episode will be followed by “Talk,” with a backdrop image of the cast taking a selfie, likely delving deeper into Nick and Charlie’s relationship. The fourth episode, “Journey,” showcases a picture of Charlie, hinting at the emotional and physical paths the characters will take.
Episode five, “Winter,” is followed by “Body,” which is expected to address Charlie’s struggles with his eating disorder. The seventh episode, titled “Together,” presents Elle beside her art, possibly reflecting her new journey in an art school. The season finale, “Apart,” contrasts with the previous episode, suggesting potential separations or challenges for the characters.
Season 3 will be “darker” than its predecessors. In Season 2, Nick and Charlie came close to confessing their love, while Elle faced the possibility of moving away to attend an art college. The new season is expected to continue showing these themes, including Charlie’s anxiety and eating disorder, which will play a significant role.
What To Expect from Heartstopper Season 3?
Joe Locke, who will also appear in Agatha All Along, mentioned that the new season is “darker and hornier.” He explained, “It’s definitely way darker than other seasons of Heartstopper have been, whilst also maintaining that Heartstopper feel. The first half of the season is darker, the second half is hornier.”
Rhea Norwood, who plays Imogen, added that the new season will be more “mature” as the characters grow older. “Hopefully, they will be tackled in the way that Heartstopper does it, really beautifully,” she said.
Returning for the new season are actors Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Yasmin Finney, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Corinna Brown, Leila Khan, Nima Taleghani, and Fisayo Akinade.
New faces include Hayley Atwell, Eddie Marsan, and Jonathan Bailey from Bridgerton. Atwell will play Nelson’s aunt, while Marsan will portray Geoff, Charlie’s therapist. Bailey will join as Jack Maddox, Charlie’s celebrity crush.
Heartstopper Season 3 is set to premiere on October 3 on Netflix.
