List of Heartstopper episodes
Episodes of British television series
Heartstopper is a British coming-of-age romantic comedy-drama television series created and written by Alice Oseman for Netflix, based on her webcomic and graphic novel series of the same name. Starring Kit Connor and Joe Locke as Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, it follows two teenagers whose friendship at Truham Grammar School develops into a romantic relationship. As the characters grow older, the series expands to explore sexuality, gender identity, mental health, intimacy and early adulthood.[1][2]
Produced by See-Saw Films, Heartstopper was adapted for television after the company acquired the screen rights in 2019.[3][4] Netflix ordered the series in January 2021, with Oseman writing and Euros Lyn directing and executive producing.[5] Oseman wrote every released episode. Lyn directed the first two series, with Andy Newbery directing the third.[2][6]
The first series of eight episodes premiered on 22 April 2022, followed by a second on 3 August 2023 and a third on 3 October 2024.[7][8][9] The series was renewed for second and third series in May 2022,[10] and after the release of the third series, Oseman said that any continuation would be the final chapter of the screen adaptation.[11] In April 2025, Netflix announced that the adaptation would conclude with a feature-length finale film, later titled Heartstopper Forever, scheduled for release in 2026.[12][13]
The series received widespread critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its writing, performances, and warm, affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ youth.[14][15][16][17][18] The series has won several accolades and been nominated for numerous others. As of 3 October 2024, 24 episodes of Heartstopper have been released, while the finale film remains forthcoming.[9][13]
