Fans of Heartstopper, buckle up—that’s because Season 3 is about to take Nick and Charlie’s relationship to a whole new level! Joe Locke, who plays Charlie, recently spilled the tea with Variety on what’s coming next for the series—and let’s just say the romance is getting sexy!
In the first two seasons, the show kept things sweet and innocent, but Locke hints that the second half of Season 3 will dive into the more physical aspects of Nick and Charlie’s bond. The actors, Joe Locke and Kit Connor have practically become pros at kissing scenes but had to set up into new territory for the upcoming season and its more mature topics.
“The second half of the season is about sex. Almost like being in Season 1 again with the first-ever kissing scene. Me and Kit are so comfortable with each other, but it’s still a vulnerable thing to do.”
Joe Locke shares that the second half of ‘Heartstopper’ Season 3 explores the sexual side of Nick & Charlie’s relationship:
