The third season of Heartstopper is coming to Netflix this fall, and it will be as star-studded as it gets. Jonathan Bailey, Hayley Atwell, and Eddie Marsan will play key supporting roles when Heartstopper returns for its third season in October.
Rumors about Bailey’s potential casting started circling last month, and things are finally official. Heartstopper team teased his casting with a short video that sees him playing Jack Maddox, an Instagram-famous writer who just happens to be Charlie’s celebrity crush.
In addition to the Bridgerton actor, Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) will also star in Season 3. Atwell will play Nick’s Aunt Diane, who takes him to Menorca over the summer, while Marsan joined the cast as Charlie’s wise and straight-talking therapist Geoff.
Alice Oseman, who created this series for Netflix, is looking forward to welcoming the new cast members on board.
“I am incredibly excited to be welcoming three new cast members to the Heartstopper family… It was an absolute joy to see Hayley, Eddie, and Jonathan’s talent alongside our existing cast, and I can’t wait for the Heartstopper fans to meet these new characters,” said Oseman in a statement.
Joe Locke and Nick Nelson lead Heartstopper as Charlie and Nick, while the supporting cast includes William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood, and Leila Khan.
