The other characters also go through a lot. For example, besties Elle (Yasmin Finney) and Tao (William Gao) notice that they actually feel more for each other than just friendship and Isaac (Tobie Donovan) has questions about his own sexuality.
In the third season of Heartstopperwhich was announced shortly after the release of the first season, we will continue to follow the characters we already know, but we will also be introduced to some new faces.

The recording of the third season has been over for a while now, but we still have to wait until October before the episodes will also appear on Netflix.
To make the wait a little more bearable, the streaming service has already released a sneak peek. A first short video was just shared and three new cast members were announced. This mainly concerns Jonathan Bailey as Jack Maddox, Charlie’s celebrity crush. But also Hayley Atwell (Mission Impossible, Captain America) makes her appearance as Nick’s aunt Diane. The role of Charlie’s psychologist Geoff goes to Eddie Marsan (Back to Black).
