Fans of Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series of the same name have been waiting a long time for a televised adaptation and judging by comments made online, they have not been disappointed. It would appear that the Netflix show is faithful to the original work, which is a good thing as Oseman’s relatable work of fiction is beloved by many.
What is Heartstopper Season 1 about?
The first season of Oseman’s graphic novel series ended with a rather sweet way, but just in case you haven’t seen it yet, I won’t give away any spoilers. It didn’t end on a cliffhanger so it doesn’t necessarily need a second season. However, in its 8-episode run, only the first two volumes of Oseman’s graphic novel series were covered, so there is potential for a second and even third season.
The story centers on Charlie, a 10th grade student who becomes romantically involved with Nick, the school’s rugby star. With a lovable group of supporting characters, they navigate the world of romance and school bullies. ..
We have extensive coverage on Heartstopper across the site, including recaps for all 8 episodes, which you can find HERE. We also have a full season review too, which you’re welcome to read HERE!
Will We Get To See Heartstopper Season 2?
Netflix has confirmed that there will be a second and a third season for Heartstopper! The new seasons are set to air in 2019 and 2020.
Despite the low chances of the show being cancelled, it is still important to keep an open mind and give the series a chance to continue. Heartstopper is a great show that is relevant to those in the LGBTQ community and should be given another chance.
As current viewing figures are evidence of its popularity, it makes sense that Heartstopper has been renewed. The cast and crew were also optimistic about a second season renewal and you can see what they have to say below.
What Could Happen In Heartstopper Season 2?
In the third and fourth volumes of Heartstopper, we see Nick and Charlie continue their relationship as it is made public. We learn more about Nick as he comes to terms with his bisexuality. And the relationship between supporting characters Tao and Elle is deepened. As the first season was faithfully adapted from Oseman’s graphic novels, we can expect to see these storylines covered if the series is allowed to continue.
In an interview with Them, Kit Connor (Charlie) and Joe Locke (Nick) were asked about their thoughts on what they would like to see happen in a future season of “Charlie’s Angels.” They both expressed their excitement for the show to continue and hinted at some exciting new storylines that they would love to see play out. ..
Joe mentioned the trip to Paris that took place in the graphic novel and how he would like to see that brought to the screen. He also expressed an interest in exploring Charlie’s mental health struggles. Joe said: “I think it would be really interesting to explore what was going on with Charlie’s mental health, because I think that’s a really important part of his story.” ..
“There’s a lot of potential for exploring those relationships more deeply in the future, as we continue to explore the characters and their motivations. I think that there are a lot of interesting possibilities for storytellers to explore what happens when people come together in difficult situations.”
What Does ‘Heartstopper’ Creator Alice Oseman Have To Say About A Second Season?
“We’re exploring some of the darker themes in our graphic novels in a second season,” Alice Oseman, who acted as executive producer on the show, said. “We want to explore some of the more dark and twisted things that people might be interested in.”
In a recent interview, the show’s creator hinted at a possible teacher romance between Mr. Ayaji, the art teacher from season 1, and another teacher we haven’t spent time with yet. This would certainly be interesting to see as the struggles of being openly gay within a school environment aren’t only confined to those who are still in their teens.
“I feel like I have achieved it in the books,” says author and TV personality, Mindy Kaling about her upcoming show, “The Mindy Project.” Kaling is candid about mental health in her novels and wants to continue that trend on the show. ..
When Will Season 2 Of Heartstopper Be Released?
There is no telling what the future holds for Stranger Things, but given that there is already source material laid out and the show’s creators have a clear vision for where they want to take this one, it’s not outside the realm of possibility to suggest that this one could be returning to our screens in 2023. But for now, we’ll have to wait and see! ..
