Netflix has confirmed Heartstopper Season 3
Hearstopper's second season, which just aired on Netflix, has already received a lot of positive feedback. Amidst this, news of Heartstopper Season 3 has given fans hope for the future. According to recent reports, Netflix plans to begin the production of Heartstopper season 3 in October.
The fifth volume of the series by Alice Oseman will soon be released. Hence, things seem to be looking up for the series' future. Although there is still a lot of excitement for season 3, there may be difficulties that affect how it is produced and released. The Writers Guild Association and SAG-AFTRA strike might postpone the development of the series, which might impact its ultimate release date.
The release of Season 3 may be delayed until late 2024 or even 2025, depending on how the strikes are resolved and the ability to start production.
Is Heartstopper Season 3 based on volume 4?
Season 1 covered volume 1 and 2 of the graphic novel, and Season 2 covered volume 3. It can therefore be assumed that Volume 4 will be the subject of Season 3's narrative.
According to rumors, the third season of the show would concentrate more on Joe Locke's character Charlie's mental health problems. In volume 4, Nick and Charlie go through some difficult times as Charlie battles an eating condition and Nick comes out to his father.
Heartstopper season 3 may, in all likelihood, adopt a more sombre tone, although the studios have made no public announcements to that effect.
