Heartstopper Season 3 will premiere on Netflix in October.

In the new season, Charlie "would like to tell Nick that he loves him," while Nick "also has something important to say to Charlie," Netflix previously shared.

In addition to Heartstopper, Bailey will soon reprise Anthony Bridgerton in Bridgerton Season 3. The two-part season premieres May 16 on Netflix and will center on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
