The teen LGBTQ+ drama has gone down a storm on Netflix. Find out everything we know about Heartstopper and what we know about a season 2.

Heartstopper only recently dropped on Netflix and it's already delighting TV fans.

The teen LGBTQ+ drama, which is based on Alice Oseman's graphic novels of the same name, has found a whole new audience on the streaming platform... and with good reason.

The series - which tells the love story of two teenage boys - has already left fans desperate to know what's next for Nick and Charlie, played by Kit Connor and Joe Locke respectively.

Find out everything we know about the series so far and if there will be a season two.

Will there be a Heartstopper season 2?

There's no confirmation whether there will be a second season of the Netflix show yet, but it's certainly looking likely. The first season of Heartstopper only covers the first two volumes of the graphic novels and there are seven volumes in total.

Creator and showrunner Oseman and Patrick Walters recently teased some of the topics they would like to explore in further seasons, so it's fair to say they are thinking about it.

Oseman told Digital Spy: "If we do get future seasons, I'll definitely want to be bringing in the themes of mental health, because that's something that's really important in the books."
