Just two days after his swoon-worthy appearance on the Emmy Awards, Jonathan Bailey is setting followers’ hearts aflutter as soon as once more.
The “Bridgerton” actor could be noticed in a trailer launched Tuesday for the third season of “Heartstopper,” Netflix’s LGBTQ-inclusive teen sequence.
He portrays Jack Maddox, a musician turned scholar from Alice Oseman’s “Heartstopper” graphic novels, on which the Netflix present is predicated.
Jack actually leaves an enduring impression on teen boyfriends Charlie Spring (performed by Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), who met as college students at a secondary college in small-town England.
Bailey’s casting — first revealed earlier this yr — is only one of a number of surprises circling Season 3 of “Heartstopper,” which hits Netflix on Oct. 3. The new episodes observe Charlie and Nick as they “face their relationship’s biggest challenge yet,” based on press notes.
As for their group of buddies, which incorporates Elle Argent (Yasmin Finney) and Isaac Henderson (Tobie Donovan), they, too, “must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn’t go to plan.”
The first season of “Heartstopper” premiered on Netflix in 2022 to sterling reviews and impassioned fan discourse on social media, placing Connor and Locke on the Hollywood map.

Speaking to HuffPost that very same yr, the 2 actors stated they anticipated their characters’ psychological well being can be explored in larger depth because the sequence progressed. The present’s total influence on its predominantly younger viewers, they famous, was fortuitous.
“I felt very emotional when I first heard that a fan had used a scene I’d filmed to come out to their parents,” Connor stated on the time. “That’s a real ‘pinch me’ moment, and that’s what told me this show has an effect on the audience that even we didn’t expect.”
