Heartstopper: Netflix confirms season 3 is officially in production
And… action!
Production of season three of Heartstopper is officially underway, amid an expected air date of sometime in 2024.
The hit Netflix series aired its second season earlier this summer, where fans saw Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) enjoy their new status’ as boyfriends. This played out while the latter was visibly worried about coming out.
Viewers were given a beautifully emotional ending from season two, which saw the pair on the verge of saying “I love you” for the first time.
While creator Alice Oseman hasn’t given much away on what we’ll see next from the cute couple, they have offered up a very important update for fans.
“AND ACTION! Heartstopper Season 3 is officially in production”
It was confirmed way back in 2022 that a season three would be on the way after the recent episodes came to screen.
Today (2 October), Netflix and Heartstopper posted a joint message to fans on Instagram, with the caption: “AND ACTION! 🍂 Heartstopper Season 3 is officially in production.”
In the attached pic, creator Oseman can be seen holding a clapperboard with a rainbow pattern on top, instead of the usual black and white colours.

We don’t know either!
Teasing what could happen next, Oseman previously stated: “People who have read the comics will know what is going to happen. I don’t want to spoil it for people who haven’t been reading the comics.”
