Season 2 ofHeartsopperis just around the corner, which means that we’re authorized to get googly-eyed and let cute take over our lives once again as we get more involved with the stories of Charlie (Joe Locke), Nick (Kit Connor) and everyone around them. In order to just tease the audience with the protagonist duo’s perfect chemistry, Netflix released a video in which Locke and Connor re-enact a scene from Season 1, but with the roles reversed.
With Locke playing Nick and Connor playing Charlie, the boys revisit Season 1. In episode five, titled “Friend,” the group of friends visits an arcade to celebrate Charlie’s birthday, and Nick and Charlie have a heart-to-heart in one of the season’smost memorable scenes. to mess with our brains, Netflix put Locke and Connor re-enacting the moment side-by-side with the actual scene. So it’s pretty confusing to hear Connor’s voice come out of Locke’s mouth and vice-versa, but it’s all part of the fun.
The bit gets even more chaotic and fun as Locke and Connor struggle tokeep it together, and while Connor tries his best to do his own version of Charlie, Locke keeps trying to make him break character until he finally manages to do it. As the cuteness from the scene disappears, there are plenty of laughs for us watching them attempt to reproduce it while trying to keep a straight face.
What to Remember About The Future ofHeartstopper
In case you’re wondering how much of the original graphic novelgot adapted to the screen, Season 1 ofHeartstopperonly covered two of the seven volumes written and illustrated byAlice Oseman— which could suggest thatSeason 3has the potential to be the last one. But if the popularity of the teen romance series continues to soar, it’s perfectly possible for the TV show to outlast the source material and follow Nick and Charlie for alonger stretch of time.
Season 2 is also gearing up to potentially change television, as Osemanrevealed in an interview. The writer and producer suggested that, unlike in Season 1, Isaac (Tobie Donovan) will be a prominent figure, and since the character is asexual, the creator believes the topic will be fully fleshed out in ways we’ve never seen on the small screen.
Returning cast members for Season 2 includeYasmin Finneyas Elle,William Gaoas Tao,Cormac Hyde-Corrinas Harry,Corinna Brownas Tara,Kizzy Edgellas Darcy, andRhea Norwoodas Imogen. New cast members includeBel Priestleyas Naomi,Ash Selfas Felix, andThibault De Montalembertas Stephane.
