We’ve finally made it, folks – we’ve endured what feels like the longest wait in television history! Here’s the scoop on when Heartstopper Season 3 will premiere on Netflix.
The anticipation for Heartstopper Season 3 has been palpable, especially since the new series was greenlit shortly after Season 2. Netflix is known for taking its time with releases, and the beloved series created by Alice Oseman is no exception.
However, rest assured, quality takes time. When we last left Charlie and Nick in Season 2, Charlie was on the verge of confessing his love for Nick but hesitated at the last moment.
But don’t worry! Romance is still very much in focus in this binge-worthy series. We’re all eager to see what unfolds next, so here’s everything you need to know about Heartstopper Season 3 release.
Heartstopper Season 3 Release Time
Heartstopper Season 3 will be available on Netflix starting October 3, 2024, at 12am PT / 3am ET. Don’t panic – all episodes will drop simultaneously!
If you’re in different time zones, here’s when you can tune in:
- 12am PT
- 3am ET
- 4am Brazil
- 8am UK
- 9am Central European Summer Time
- 12:30pm India Standard Time
- 5pm Australia
- 7pm New Zealand
Curious why we have to wait until October for the new episodes? The answer is simple: Season 3 begins in fall, aligning the release month with the storyline.
This pattern is consistent with Seasons 1 and 2, with Season 1 premiering in spring and Season 2 in summer. If we’re fortunate enough for a Season 4 (fingers crossed, Netflix!), a winter release could be on the horizon.
How Many Episodes Are There?
There are eight episodes in Heartstopper Season 3. If you’ve been following along (or have peeked ahead), you’ll know the titles have already been unveiled.
The upcoming episodes are titled:
- ‘Love’
- ‘Home’
- ‘Talk’
- ‘Journey’
- ‘Winter’
- ‘Body’
- ‘Together’
- ‘Apart’
Fun fact: only two of these titles – ‘Love’ and ‘Journey’ – correspond to official chapters in the graphic novels. The others are inferred from the plot but are not explicitly written.
However, those familiar with Nick and Charlie’s journey can easily anticipate what’s coming.
Heartstopper Cast
The beloved core cast, fronted by Joe Locke and Kit Connor, returns for more heartfelt storytelling. New faces joining the ensemble include Hayley Atwell and Jonathan Bailey, while Olivia Colman will not be reprising her role.
Here’s a quick recap of our core cast:
- Kit Connor as Nick
- Joe Locke as Charlie
- William Gao as Tao
- Yasmin Finney as Elle
- Corinna Brown as Tara
- Kizzy Edgell as Darcy
- Tobie Donovan as Isaac
- Jenny Walser as Tori
- Rhea Norwood as Imogen
- Leila Khan as Sahar
Returning in minor roles are Mr. Ajayi (Fisayo Akinade), Mr. Farouk (Nima Taleghani), and James (Bradley Riches).
The most heartbreaking news is that Olivia Colman will not return as Nick’s mom; however, a replacement has been found. Hayley Atwell will portray Nick’s aunt Diane, who takes him on a holiday to Menorca and provides wisdom concerning Charlie’s eating disorder.
Jonathan Bailey will appear in a cameo as historian Jack Maddox, whose character in the graphic novels is named Henry.
Additionally, Tori is set to have a love interest this season, played by Darragh Hand.
