Our hearts can't take the wait any longer.&nbsp;

British LGBTQ+ rom-com Heartstopper captured the hearts of millions of viewers worldwide after it first premiered in April 2022. The adorable coming-of-age show is based on a book series that follows two high school boys that go from friends to lovers. It's the queer <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/taylor-swift-joe-alwyn-relationship-timeline-dating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">love story</a> we have all been waiting for, and it most certainly did not disappoint. After binging the series in a day, viewers were already asking when they can expect a second season. After <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/series-like-halston-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix</a> confirmed that a Season 2 is in the works, here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season of Heartstopper.

Netflix recently announced that Heartstopper will return to the platform on August 3. Apart from that exciting news, the one-minute-long video included a montage of the show&rsquo;s cast answering the question, &ldquo;What do you think is new in season two, and what can the fans expect?&rdquo; Some answers teased more action, newfound maturity, and an overall different &ldquo;vibe.&rdquo; Despite these vague responses, the video opens the door for many exciting possibilities to unfold in Season 2.
Some more good news: Heartstopper has already been renewed for a Season 3, meaning this love story for the ages isn't ending anytime soon.&nbsp;

It has been confirmed that everybody in the main cast is set to return for Season 2. This includes Kit Connor and Joe Locke, who play the two main characters, Nick and Charlie, respectively. Other main actors returning are Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Tobie Donovan, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Sebastian Croft, Rhea Norwood, Olivia Colman, and Jenny Walser.&nbsp;
There has also been confirmation of some new additions to the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/love-actually-cast-then-and-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cast</a> lineup including Thibault de Montalemberts playing Nick's father, Stephane, Jack Barton as Nick's older brother, David, Nima Taleghani as the new schoolteacher Mr. Farouk, and Leila Khan as a new student named Sahar.

We have yet to know for sure what the plotline of Season 2 will be. It will likely pick up where the last season left off in which Nick came out to his mother as bisexual and announced that he was dating Charlie. The season ended on a high note with Charlie and Nick more or less solidifying their relationship. Hopefully, in Season 2, viewers will get to see the couple continue to thrive, though it wouldn't be a TV show without some drama along the way.&nbsp;
In an <a href="https://ew.com/tv/heartstopper-stars-joe-locke-kit-connor-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with Entertainment Weekly</a>, Locke reveals what hopes to see in the second season. "I think it's quite easy to look ahead at a second season because of volume three and four of the novels. Charlie develops an eating disorder and his mental health takes a turn for the worse and I think that would be interesting to look into, especially if the show continues to be very much a teen show," Locke told Entertainment Weekly. "Whenever people tackle mental health on TV, it tends to be really dark and I think what our show has really done well so far is tackling issues, but from an optimistic lens. You can always see the light at the end of the tunnel, you always know it's going to get better. I think it'd be really great to look at that more."
Beyond Nick and Charlie, viewers may get to see the development of other couples in the storyline including the relationship between Tara and Darcy, and the hinted romantic tension between Tao and Elle.&nbsp;
