Preview the First 3 Minutes of Heartstopper Season 3 Premiere | Entertainment

Heartstopper Season 3 premieres on Oct. 3, welcoming followers again into the cozy embrace of Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) and Charlie Spring (Joe Locke). The final time we noticed the couple, in the Season 2 finale, they have been every on the precipice of saying these three particular little phrases. But the first individual we encounter at the begin of Episode 1 is none apart from Tori Spring (Jenny Walser), seen in the video above. 

Creator and govt producer Alice Oseman is aware of it’s a bit of a “curveball” to start the season with anybody however Charlie or Nick. (Don’t fear, they share a really cute second at the finish of the sneak peek.) But Heartstopper’s inventive crew was excited to introduce Tori as a fundamental character in her personal proper — particularly as a result of she performs a key position in supporting her brother, Charlie, in Season 3. (The upcoming episodes discover extra mature themes, together with psychological well being.) 

“We all decided we liked that [starting with Tori] was something unknown,” Oseman tells Tudum. “Tori has a much bigger role in this season, particularly related to Charlie’s mental health journey. Tori is really affected by that, because she cares about him so much.”  

Locke appears again fortunately on his scenes with Walser. “Jenny is a wonderful actress, so it’s been great to have some really meaty scenes with her and expand that brother-sister relationship,” he says. “It’s a really beautiful arc throughout the season.”

We get to glimpse one of these scenes in the clip. Although the video begins with Tori alone, it’s solely a matter of seconds till she’s sitting in Charlie’s room, discussing his relationship with Nick. Charlie has been training saying “I love you,” however he’s nervous about how Nick will react when he lastly summons up the nerve to say it to him. Oseman calls their heart-to-heart “adorable.” 

“We know by the end of Season 2 that Nick and Charlie love each other,” they are saying confidently. “But when you’re a teenager, I think saying the words ‘I love you’ holds so much weight. It’s a big declaration of commitment to someone. This isn’t just a teenage romance anymore — this is a real relationship.” 

This is a giant step for Charlie, Locke says. “In Season 1 and 2, we see Charlie is quite shy. He’s quite quiet and not very confident. So for him to feel like he’s met someone he can say ‘I love you’ to — and think they might be able to say it back — is huge for him.” 

As Charlie and Nick embark on a extra critical relationship in Heartstopper Season 3, you may count on for the warmth to show up. “Season 3 is showing more mature and electric things,” Locke says. His co-star and on-screen love curiosity, Connor, agrees. “There’s sparks, tension, horniness, all of the above,” he provides with a smile. Connor teases the ardour isn’t restricted to Nick and Charlie’s love story. 

“There’s a quite tense moment at a New Year’s Eve party between Tao and Elle,” he explains. “Sparks fly, and they get really excited and nervous.”

You can watch (animated) hearts fly between Nick and Charlie in the sneak peek video above. After all, as Connor guarantees, “In some ways, Heartstopper is still just the sweeties saying ‘Hi’ to each other.” See for your self.
