I want to believe in romance, and with Netflix's Heartstopper, I do. Thankfully, Heartstopper season 3 is just a few scant months away - reuniting Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring one more time for the next time, and what could be the last time. (Netflix, save me with a renewal now).

But ahead of Heartstopper season 3, there's a lot to get excited about: the much-anticipated return of Kit Conner and Joe Locke (and their chemistry that goes beyond the bounds of school class), but also the return of their new friends like Sahir (Leila Khan) and the possibility of even more.

So with Heartstopper season 3's October 3 release becoming more and more imminent, here's what we know about the Heartstopper cast going forward.

Here's who we can expect for Heartstopper season 3's cast:

• Kit Connor as Nick Nelson
• Joe Locke as Charlie Spring
• Yasmin Finney as Elle Argent
• William Gao as Tao Xu
• Corinna Brown as Tara Jones
• Kizzy Edgell as Darcy Olsson
• Tobie Donovan as Isaac Henderson
• Jenny Walser as Tori Spring
• Cormac Hyde-Corrin as Harry Greene
• Rhea Norwood as Imogen Heaney
• Leila Khan as Sahar Zahid

There could be additional returning or new cast members in Heartstopper season 3, but that has yet to be announced. We're looking at you, Mr. Ajayi.

Given Netflix's Heartstopper is based on its writer Alice Oseman's webcomic of the same name, I could spoil you a bit on who's returning and who's new - but that'd be like tattle-tailing in school, and we wouldn't do that... at least not in this article.

Heartstopper season 3 debuts October 3, 2024 on Netflix. There are currently no plans for a fourth season - although we can always hope.
