Heartstopper premiered on April 22, 2022. It received positive reviews, particularly for its tone, pacing, and portrayal of the LGBT community. The show quickly became popular, ranking among the top ten English series on Netflix in just two days. It also increased the popularity of graphic novels and songs from the series.
Release Date
Heartstopper was officially renewed for season 2 by Netflix on May 20, nearly a month after its season 1 premiere. The queer, British rom-com series bases itself on Alice Oseman’s graphic novel and webcomic series of the same name.
Season 2 of the show was unexpectedly announced simultaneously as Heartstopper season 3! On May 20, Netflix granted the show a double-renewal, securing their streaming slot for two more seasons.
