“I have a boyfriend!”: Heartstopper season 2 trailer is adorable as hell

25th July 2023

Heartstopper fans: hi. The trailer for the queer dramedy’s highly-anticipated second season has finally dropped!

In the long-awaited trailer, Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor) enjoy the honeymoon period of their romance, while the latter tries to “find the right time” to come out as bisexual to his school.

Elle (Yasmin Finney) and Tao (William Gao) continue their will they/won’t they? dynamic and love seemingly blossoms for Isaac (Tobie Donovan).

There might be obstacles ahead for Tara (Corinna Brown) and Darcy (Kizzy Edgell), with the former telling Joe that she’s “jealous” of the easy communication in his relationship.

The season two synopsis is as follows: “Nick and Charlie navigate 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.”
