Only two months remain until Heartstopper season 3 drops on Netflix. To get fans excited about the show’s next installment, the streaming giant released a preview for the next season, starring our favorite couple, Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor). This preview continues on the relationship progression these boys had, after Nick came out during the finale of season 2, and they promised to be there for each other if things ever feel bad.
The scene opens as everyone is back at Truham Grammar School, with Nick smiling down the hallway. He finds Charlie both give each other a big hug, with Charlie up in his tippy-toes. Charlie then tells Nick “hug first,” when he asks why there was no kiss when they saw each other again. This preview is really wholesome and does fit with season 3’s first episode title, called “Love.”
Heartstopper Season 2 aired on Netflix back in 2023 when Charlie and Nick’s relationship began to grow. The couple learn more about each other, especially Charlie, who becomes more open about his mental health and the bullying he’s endured in the past. The show ended on a wholesome note, with Nick coming out publicly, as well as the many changes that happened within their friends group. Meanwhile, the show ends on a cliffhanger, with Charlie being hesitant to send an emotional message to Nick.
