Heartstopper Season 3: Kit Connor reveals what to expect from Nick and Charlie in the next chapter
Heartstopper Season 3, the show’s star, Kit Connor, has provided a revealing update on what fans can expect from the next chapter of the beloved Netflix series.
Known for his roles in His Dark Materials and Rocketman, Connor is now primarily recognized for his portrayal of Nick Nelson in Heartstopper.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Connor shed light on how the upcoming season will explore more mature themes, reflecting the natural progression of its characters.
The evolution of Heartstopper from a lighthearted teen romance to a more complex young-adult series has been a topic of discussion for some time.
Season 3 is set to tackle deeper and more adult concepts, particularly focusing on the sexual evolution of Nick and Charlie’s (played by Joe Locke) relationship. This shift marks a significant development in the series, as it navigates the challenges and complexities of a relationship maturing along with its characters, as mentioned in the report by Collider.
Filming Intimate Scenes: A New Challenge
Connor opened up about his experience filming intimate scenes for the first time in the series. He emphasized the care taken during these shoots, noting, «We’ve been taking baby steps. Season 1, he would be there making sure that we were comfortable holding hands. And now we’re doing the sex scenes.» This progression from simple hand-holding to more intimate moments reflects the growing closeness between the characters, as well as the trust built between the actors and the production team.
