Heartstopper

Netflix has brought LGBTQ+ love story Heartstopper to our screens and we're already in love. But what's next for Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor)?

But we're just as eager as you to see more of Nick and Charlie, so we promise we'll let you know as soon as there is something to show. As well as this, there is plenty of latent homophobia storming around the halls of the school, led by the rich and entitled Harry. If people tune in, then simply put, they'll keep making it. Fisayo Akinade will return as Mr Ajayi, the teacher who allows Charlie and Nick to spend time in his classroom during breaks away from prying eyes as Nick came to terms with his sexuality. If season two is commissioned, then it just wouldn't be the show we know and love without Kit Connor returning as Nick, and Joe Locke back as Charlie. Nick and Charlie's story is one for the ages, with critics declaring it a triumph of coming to terms with your sexuality ahead of the show's release.

Heartstopper fans are shocked to learn that Academy Award winner Olivia Colman has a recurring role in Netflix's LGBTQ+ teen drama, playing Nick's mum.

So it was like, there was a circle on the call sheet, who is it going to be? "Bash [aka co-star Sebastian Croft] pretended he knew, so then I went to Patrick – our executive producer – and was like, ‘So who is it then? For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the Radio Times podcast with Jane Garvey. "But we tried anyway and Olivia wanted to do it. "I think it's an honour for any actor to be able to work with an Oscar winner [or] anyone of Olivia’s calibre." He continued: "We spent most of the shoot not knowing who was playing my mum.

Heartstopper is here on Netflix, telling the love story between Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor). Do they end up together in the end? Spoilers!

When Nick gets home, he confides in his mom (Olivia Colman) and tells her that Charlie is his boyfriend. During Sports Day at school, Nick finds Charlie outside and holds his hand in front of their classmates as he walks with him into the school. That all changes, though, after Nick has a heart to heart with Charlie’s best friend Tao Xu (William Gao) and gets some good advice. But when Charlie and Nick are alone together, it’s obvious they have a deep connection. For instance, during a trip to the movies with Nick’s friends, another popular kid named Harry Greene (Cormac Hyde-Corrin) pokes fun at Charlie, forcing Nick to get involved. Charlie is understandably hesitant about his relationship with Nick, considering how everything went with Ben. Nick is also a popular kid who’s on the rugby team at school and is friends with guys who bully Charlie and his friends.

The new series, based on the award-winning webcomic and graphic novels of the same name by Alice Oseman, follows a few formative months in the life of a group ...

The last scene of the series is beyond delightful in its romanticism and the pure joy of being alive and in the company of someone you love. Of course, it’s interrupted by heteronormativity (read: the jocks demanding Nick’s attention) and Nick runs away, scared and confused, but always meaning to go back to Charlie after dealing with his friends. It’s exactly the kind of story with real-world representation I wish was accessible to me when I was in high school. Hopefully, this will happen if the series is renewed and we get multiple seasons, since the source material continues beyond the story told in these eight episodes. After sequences of loud music at the party, Nick and Charlie find a quiet room and take that inevitable first step and share a kiss. At first, he doesn’t mean anything by his constant touches, smiles, and texts, simply because he doesn’t know that he could mean anything by it. In turn, Nick is instantly bewildered and intrigued by Charlie and opens up to him immediately. However, we are never fooled that that is the only reason why they are spending so much time together or texting day and night, because it’s clear Nick genuinely enjoys Charlie’s company. Despite knowing (assuming?) that Nick is straight, Charlie is confused by what he feels are mixed signals. In fact we have a bit of a proverbial damsel in distress moment when Nick saves the day by physically shoving Ben off of Charlie in a dark room, because Ben wouldn’t listen to Charlie’s repeated “no.” From that moment, Nick becomes protective and immensely supportive, perhaps to make up for all the bad he knows Charlie has encountered. Such a stark and immediate difference with the abysmal way Ben (Sebastian Croft), Charlie’s secret boyfriend and a walking red flag, treats him. Let me say it straight off the bat: No, it doesn’t have many things in common with Sex Education, except for the fact that it tells a realistic story that’s accurately representative of today’s population.

Heartstopper, Netflix's new YA romance centring two gay teens in an English boys' school, has been hailed online as a pioneering work for gay representation ...

For one, it’s all a bit done; more importantly, it feels as though other aspects of the queer experience have been inadvertently neglected on screen. Many mixed the two (think: the 1989 awards contender Longtime Companion, in which variously closeted and open gay men contend with the first decade of the New York epidemic, or 1986’s indie darling Parting Glances) whereas others dealt centrally with the sticky notion of coming to terms with, and revealing, one's sexual identity. Quelle surprise, then, that coming out has historically been a ready point of return for queer storytellers, given the drama of it all — such as with this week’s big Netflix release, Heartstopper.

But that was all part of the fun of it." "It would probably be four seasons to cover the full story," she said. So expect the world of Heartstopper to continue to be explored. We got to explore the side characters of Heartstopper in a lot more depth when there's not really much room for that in the comics. We need a second season of Heartstopper to explore all the complications and heartwarming moments of Charlie and Nick's romance, plus continue to see how Sarah supports her son after he came out to her as bisexual. It wouldn't be Heartstopper without Charlie and Nick at the centre and we need actors Joe Locke and Kit Connor back to continue their story.

Elle Argent is part of Charlie's solid friend group, but she also has dynamic storylines of her own; she's recently transferred from the all-boys' school to the neighboring girls' school after a teacher refused to call her Elle. But bullying isn't a large part of Elle's story; rather, we come along as she forges new friendships, deals with shifting old ones, and potentially develops a crush of her own. Joe plays protagonist Charlie Spring, a reserved teenager who is openly gay — and in a “relationship” with a popular guy at school who won't acknowledge his existence in public. “It’s somewhat pushed me to be more myself and be proud of who I am,” he says.

The Netflix show covers the first two volumes of Heartstopper, from when Nick and Charlie first meet to when they are (officially) together. The comics start to touch on different mental health themes, as Nick notices that Charlie doesn’t really eat much, and starts to fear he has an eating disorder. Shortly after, Oseman began working on a webcomic (available free online) which acted as a sort of prequel to both those stories – it covers how Nick and Charlie first met, and the early days of their relationship. Graphic novel volume 1 covers chapters one and two, volume 2 covers chapter three, volume 3 covers chapter 4, and volume four covers chapter five. They’ll probably also be wondering what the graphic novels might tell us about potential plotlines for a second or third series of Heartstopper on Netflix, too. Solitaire follows Tori Spring, a name you might recognise as Charlie’s older sister in Heartstopper; Nick and Charlie were background characters in Solitaire before they lead their own stories.

My answer to this changes all the time, but my top choice right now would be Loveless, which is my most recent YA novel. Taking this into consideration, it’s likely that Netflix will observe the viewing figures closely before making a decision to greenlight new episodes. However, for those who have made quick work of its eight episodes, thoughts will inevitably turn to Heartstopper season 2.

Netflix's highly anticipated new TV show is based on a series of popular graphic novels. Here's all you need to know about Heartstopper.

The lead role of Charlie Spring is taken on by Joe Locke, who inclusion in Heartstopper is his debut role. Who is in the cast of Heartstopper? Its been in the works for some time, but the highly anticipated new Netflix series Heartstopper is finally set for release on the streaming service.

If there is another season, this new couple is going to have to deal with the pressures of being their true selves in their homophobic school. As we covered before, Season 1 ended with Nick (Kit Connor) deciding to come out as bisexual and be honest about his relationship with Charlie (Joe Locke). Episode 8 already showed him coming out to his mother, but the episode ended with Nick and Charlie agreeing to tell more people. If Season 2 continues in this season’s footsteps, we’ll likely see new episodes next year.

Sorti tout droit de l’imagination d’Alice Oseman, l’histoire de Nick et Charlie a de quoi passionner.

Netflix's new LGBTQ+ romance series Heartstopper has an unexpected cameo from Oscar-winner Olivia Colman.

The last scene I have with her is one of the ones I sort of circled thinking 'I need to get that right' It's something I didn't take lightly, being able to work with her. Her moment at the end of the season shines through as she responds to Nick admitting his bisexuality with only pride and love for her son. But it all came as a bit of a shock when Olivia Colman appeared on-screen to play the part!

Adapted from creator and writer Alice Oseman's webcomics turned graphic novels, Heartstopper is a teen coming-of-age romance primarily about two schoolboys, ...

Charlie and Nick do end up together, and what’s more, Nick makes the decision to come out to those closest to him, starting with his mother. It isn’t until a big birthday party for Nick’s friend Harry that something physical happens between Charlie and Nick — they privately kiss, and while Nick gets a bit flustered by it, he visits Charlie the next day to essentially continue the relationship. Nick intervening in Ben trying to force himself on Charlie is the first significant event in their relationship, and as they spend more flirty time together it becomes obvious to both that there is an attraction there.

During their beach day, Nick tells Charlie that he wants to be open about their relationship to the people in their lives who matter. In the middle of the rugby match, Nick ran to Charlie. After taking him inside the school, Nick made his intentions clear. At the start of Heartstopper, Tara and Darcy were in the closet. In spite of the harassment, Tara is happy to be out and to be able to publicly call Darcy her girlfriend. Tao apologized for questioning their friendship, and Charlie apologized for not telling him about Nick sooner, meaning all is right in the world of this friendship triangle. The series is full of animated doodles that quietly emerge when a scene is at its most intense.

Netflix new drama shows an optimistic world where there are consequences for bullying and bigotry.

If the show runs for many years, it is sure to continue showing the positives of the queer experience more than the negatives. The couple cements themselves as boyfriends in the final scene of the first season, and Nick claims that he will start telling the people he cares about that he’s bisexual. Whether that bullying is physical, emotional, or mental, it is sure to be addressed with a blaring positivity. In this climactic scene, we get the most mature and startling dialogue in the show. The latter has been out of the closet for some time, or at least it’s insinuated, and therefore has already overcome many of the feelings of confusion that his boyfriend is having. There is sure to be more bullying that commences, this time more towards Nick. It’s in this contrast that we get to see the main tension of the overly-optimistic program. Nick is the star of the school rugby team. When Harry won’t accept his actions as being wrong, he starts to dig in deeper, and the result is a physical altercation between Nick and Harry. Queer youth are bullied at nearly twice the rate of their straight counterparts. As Nick sees the abuse Charlie receives, he starts fighting back in a big way. Charlie is a perpetual victim of bullying.

The friend group in Netflix's Heartstoppers look to be as close off screen as they are on the show (Picture: Instagram/ Joe Locke).

Yasmin, Joe, William, Kit and Sebastian all feature in the photo, posing in some striking outfits, Yasmin bearing her midriff in a cut-out top and shorts. In one photo the boys pose in a taxi, Kit with a face mask in his hand as he appears to have been caught off guard by the snap. Kit can be seen sticking out his tongue and giving a thumbs up to the camera, while Joe looks like he’s in the middle of a peal of laughter. Reflection and obstruction photos are clearly a thing with Joe, as another photograph posted by the actor to Instagram sees Joe, Kit Connor who plays Nick, and William Gao who plays Tao Xu, posing in the reflection of a kitchen window. The boys are outside in a sunny garden, Kit in sunglasses to protect his eyes, as they aim the camera at the window where a sink, toaster and kettle can be seen. One of the reasons the show is proving so popular is the sheer wholesomeness of it all; just a group of friends hanging out and falling in love.

It takes only two minutes into Heartstopper's series premiere for high schooler Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) to lock eyes with his new deskmate, ...

Oseman’s work is undeniably sharp and “aww”-inducing, and it might be a challenge not to watch all eight episodes in one sitting. They still attend a boy’s high school with the average set of tyrants—in this case, it’s largely Nick’s rugby friends who pick on Charlie and Tao the most. Tara and Darcy’s journey provides an interesting parallel to Charlie and Nick, who start off more on a note of confusion. It also focuses on Charlie’s best buddies: Elle (Yasmin Finney), a Black trans student who moves away to an all-girls school to escape bullying, Isaac (Tobie Donovan), rarely seen without a book in hand, and Tao Xu (William Gao), a movie nerd struggling to keep the merry band together. Nick’s attraction to Charlie catches him by surprise (but not disdain). Over the course of the season, he begins to grasp and accept his bisexuality without any forced drama. Much like Alice Oseman’s graphic novel and webcomic, her TV adaptation is a proponent of tender LGBTQ romances and non-stereotypical characters in the midst of self-discovery.

Heartstopper star Joe Locke has provided a breakdown of that intense Charlie scene from the finale.

Because, I mean – you're filming episode 1 in the morning, and then episode 8 in the afternoon. "So we would talk about the scene. The scene in question features Locke's character crying on his older sister Tori's shoulder as he blames himself for the distress boyfriend Nick is feeling and trouble he is experiencing from peers.
