‘Heartstopper’ recently dropped some first-look photos of the new and recurring characters in Season 2, which fueled fans’ excitement even more.
According to the synopsis via Digital Spy:
“With exams on the horizon, a school trip to Paris and a prom to plan, the gang has a lot to juggle as they journey through the next stages of life, love and friendship.”
Meanwhile, creator Alice Oseman noted that the highly anticipated second season will have a “darker” tone.
“Season two’s… aim was to capture the joy and the magic of season one while also feeling that the characters have grown up and matured a little bit, so we’re exploring some things that are maybe a little bit darker than season one.
The romances are getting a little bit more mature… it’s like an elevation, I like to think, of season one,” Oseman further told the Hay Festival via BBC.
