Finished with Heartstopper season 2 already? Have no fear: The queer, British, coming-of-age rom-com series is coming back for season 3.
Back in May 2022, only a month after its season 1 premiere, Netflix announced that Heartstopper had officially received a double renewal for season 2 and season 3. Heartstopper, which is based on the graphic novel and webcomic series of the same name created by Alice Oseman, is one of Netflix’s best-reviewed series and has earned critical acclaim for its positive representation of young queer people. The show has become a massive hit for the streamer and has developed a large, devoted fanbase. Heartstopper fans on social media have been vocal about the impact the show has had on them IRL, including a few who were inspired to come out after watching the series.
Nick and Charlie are just getting started, and we are more than ready for the next chapter of their love story to play out on-screen. Below, we’ve created a guide to everything we know so far about Heartstopper season 3, including the trailer, plot details, new (hello, Jonathan Bailey?) and returning cast members, and the third season’s release date on Netflix.

When was Heartstopper season 3 announced?
Heartstopper season 3 was announced, surprisingly, at the same time as Heartstopper season 2. Netflix granted the show a back-to-back renewal in May 2022, locking in their streaming slot for two more seasons. The show’s cast shared their excitement about the news on social media, with Joe Locke captioning an Instagram photo dump behind-the-scenes shots: “HOW MANY MORE SEASONS??? ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️”
Yasmin Finney also posted a photo dump of BTS shots, with her and her castmates holding up the peace sign in nearly every pic. “[Two] more seasons plz,” she captioned the post with a two-finger emoji.
Heartstopper creator Alice Oseman also celebrated on Twitter, sharing a video from Netflix’s official Twitter account of them literally illustrating the news. “Seasons 2 and 3, here we come!!!” Oseman tweeted, complete with a leaf emoji.
