This Heartstopper Season 2 Scene Made Even Joe Locke Swoon
It would appear that fans should brace themselves for something big this season.
Netflix's Heartstopper took the world by storm in 2022. This adaptation of a popular LGBTQ+ comic book emerged as one of the most heartwarming and endearing projects to grace streaming platforms last year. Audiences adored Kit Connor and Joe Locke's performances as star-crossed lovers, while the exceptional writing and down-to-earth vibe solidified Heartstopper as one of the most engaging romantic shows Netflix has ever produced.
Naturally, the streaming behemoth quickly renewed the show for a second season, set to be released in less than a week. It appears the Heartstopper team is not resting on their laurels after the first season's success but is poised to wow fans again with fresh new ideas and even more poignant scenes.
According to Joe Locke himself, one particular scene in the upcoming season moved him so profoundly that he found it challenging to stay in character while filming. He described it as one of the most difficult assignments he has ever undertaken as an actor.
'The final scene of the show is gorgeous. It's my favourite scene of the show but also was definitely the hardest scene to do as an actor. Without giving too much away, it's just a very emotionally raw scene and it's also the most grownup scene in the show. It shows the real maturity of Nick and Charlie as characters. I'm very excited for people to see it, but also it was hard and really tested the craft,' Locke said.
Of course, the specifics of the scene remain undisclosed to the public, as Netflix makes every effort to ensure no spoilers reach the audience before the new season's release so that viewers can approach the show with a fresh perspective.
With such a tantalising hint from Locke, fans are even more eager to see the second season, hoping both lead actors showcased their acting prowess to the best effect in the forthcoming instalment, further boosting their already successful careers.
Heartstopper Season 2 will be released on Netflix on 3 August 2023.
