Let's dive in – here's everything we know about Heartstopper Season 3!

Alice Oseman, the head and the heart behind the show, has already picked up her pen again and it's not rocket science to guess that director Euros Lyn will join her as well. But what about the rest of the cast?
Heartstopper Season 3: What's Waiting For Charlie And Nick?
Don't you worry: this is all spoiler-free. Just a friendly reminder that you can read how the story will most likely continue.
Season 1 and 2 covered the events of the graphic novels up to volume 4, meaning that it makes the most sense that season 3 will cover volume 5. This one is fairly new and came out around Christmas time in 2023 and if you can't wait until October to know what's happening, you can read ahead!
If you're not into graphic novels, we've got the official synopsis for you:
Charlie would like to tell Nick that he loves him. Nick also has something important to say to Charlie. As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realise that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges. As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and parties and start thinking about university choices, everyone must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn't go to plan.
Heartstopper Season 3: Returning Cast
Now that we know where the journey's headed, let's take a look at old and new faces to get excited for:
- Joe Locke as Charlie
- Kit Connor as Nick
- William Gao as Tao
- Yasmin Finney as Elle
- Tobie Donovan as Isaac
- Cormac Hyde-Corrin as Harry
- Rhea Norwood as Imogen
- Corinna Brown as Tara
- Kizzy Edgell as Darcy
Fans can also count on Olivia Colman returning as Sarah Nelson and we also get a new addition to the cast: Darragh Hand as Michael Holden. That name will certainly ring a bell for book readers! Sadly, Sebastian Croft won't return as Ben, though. To lessen the pain, we've got exciting new cast members:
