What Will Be The Plotline Of Heartstopper Season 3?
The storyline of Heartstopper Season 3 will pick up where Season 2 left off and revolve around the fourth volume of Oseman’s series. The eating disorder of Charlie, which was initially hinted at in Season 2, will be the center of Season 3.
The title of the first episode of Heartstopper Season 3 will be Love, which seems very suitable based on Charlie and Nick’s relationship.
According to the official synopsis of Season 3, the summer vacation will end, and the school year will bring happiness and obstacles for both of them. As the relationship between Nick and Charlie grows, they will now start thinking about their university choices and whether they will be able to confess their feeling about each other or not.
Heartstopper Season 3 will also explore the intricacies of Elle and Tao’s relationship and how he will handle Elle’s moving to art college, in addition to focusing on Nick and Charlie’s relationship. For all the answers that were left unanswered in Season 2, we have to wait for the premiere of Heartstopper Season 3.
