There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding the third season of Heartstopper, and Netflix just added some more fuel to the fire. They announced the casting of three amazing new cast members in supporting roles – Jonathan Bailey, Hayley Atwell, and Eddie Marsan.
Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey is officially joining this teen drama after speculations about his potential casting made the headlines last month. A short video on Heartstopper’s social media teases his casting as Charlie’s celebrity crush and famous writer Jack Maddox.
Hayley Atwell’s (Agent Carter) character Aunt Diane will serve as a maternal figure in Nick’s life after Olivia Colman who played his mother said she won’t be back for Season 3. Diana will take Nick on a summer holiday to Menorca and give him some tough advice during their time together.
As for Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan), he’ll portray a fan-favorite character from Heartstopper graphic novels – Charlie’s wise and straight-talking therapist, Geoff.
Joe Locke and Nick Nelson will be back to lead the cast in Season 3, along with William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood, and Leila Khan in supporting roles. Netflix is yet to announce the show’s official release date, but we know it will be back in October with eight new episodes.
