Netflix’s popular romantic-comedy TV series Heartstopper Season 3 is set to launch, with fans eagerly awaiting the release date. The acclaimed teen drama show has won several Children’s & Family Emmys for its quality and performances.

Heartstopper season three is the dark chapter of Nick and Charlie romance and it's painfully beautiful. In the run-up to the release of season three the Heartstopper cast and crew have been teasing a much more mature tone for the show's third outing, and fans would be wrong to underestimate them.

A compassionate, gentle exploration of identity, mental health, and early sexual experiences, the Netflix adaptation of Alice Oseman's graphic novel feels more mature in Season 3, all while maintaining its signature sweetness.

Netflix's Heartstopper returns for a third season set in the world of Alice Oseman's joyful comics in October 2024. Season 2 arrived over a year ago amid the dual Hollywood strikes, meaning that talent couldn't promote the show as its sophomore installment followed up the success of Season 1 on the streamer.

Heartstopper season 3 tackles more mature topics than its predecessors, making for a thoughtful, heartfelt, and powerful season that never fully loses that Heartstopper charm.

Here's what time Heartstopper season 3 releases on Netflix around the world based on time zones, plus a preview of what to expect from the season.

The British coming-of-age comedy-drama—created by Alice Oseman and based on their graphic novel of the same name—stars Kit Connor as teenaged rugby star Nick Nelson and Joe Locke as classmate-turned-boyfriend Charlie Spring.
