Netflix changed the game with Heartstopper in 2022. Will the second season carry on that legacy in 2023? Is Heartstopper season 2 coming in 2023?
This time last year, Heartstopper had not yet been released to the public. Those who knew about it were either fans of the source material, fans of the cast and crew involved, or fans eager for a new LGBTQ+ love story. Well, not even those fans could have predicted what a TV juggernaut it would become.
When the show premiered in the third week of April 2022, the world was talking about it by the end of the month. And there was simply no looking back for this wonderful, heartfelt, necessary love story about two best friends who fell in love.
One month later, it was renewed for two more seasons, and ever since, fans have been wondering when Heartstopper season 2 would premiere on Netflix.
Will Heartstopper season 2 come out in 2023?
Heartstopper season 2 will premiere on Netflix in 2023. The show filmed between September and November 2022, meaning that it has already completely principal production.
While post-production probably won’t take that long when compared to some of Netflix’s more larger-than-life shows, Netflix did hold the first season for close to a year before releasing it, so there is a chance we may not get season 2 until the second half of the year.
Taking all of that into account, a winter 2023 release for Heartstopper season 2 certainly seems like a strong possibility. That doesn’t automatically rule out summer (and personally this show feels like it would be a great addition to the summer line-up) but given the wait before season 1’s release, it does seem like a longer wait for season 2 is inevitable.
That’s just a prediction, so it’s best to wait for Netflix’s official word on season 2, but it does seem like a realistic possibility right now.
