The clip takes viewers behind the scenes of Season 2 filming and asks various cast members one question: “What is new in Season 2 and what can fans expect?”
Connor singled out series creator Alice Oseman, who also authored the bestselling graphic novel series, for writing “amazing scripts for us. It also feels like, you know, cool and fresh — just a different vibe — to Season 1.”
Locke revealed that Charlie “goes on more of a journey this season. His story is a bit more mature.”
Per an official synopsis from Netflix, “Heartstopper” Season 2 has Nick (Connor) and Charlie (Locke) navigating “their new relationship; Tara and Darcy face unforeseen challenges and Tao and Elle work out if they can ever be more than just friends. 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.”
