Writer and creator of the show, Alice Oseman, shared her excitement with the development and direction the show is taking in Season Three in an interview with Netflix.
“While Heartstopper will always celebrate the joyful and point towards hope, I am really excited that we are allowing the tone of the show to mature alongside our beloved characters growing up,” Oseman said in the interview. “Mental health, sex, university ambitions, and more: Nick, Charlie, and the ‘Heartstopper’ teens are getting older, learning more about themselves and each other, and experiencing new desires, new fears, and new joys as they approach adulthood.”
