“Heartstopper” has become a chart-topper on Netflix. Based on the graphic novel by Alice Oseman, the series launched on Netflix late April 2022, but has been catching more and more viewers each week. Before heading to print, the story existed as a webcomic on Tumblr and Tapas, and it took Oseman less than two hours to crowd-fund the limited print-run edition.
The story centers Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson, two boys from slightly different social circles who find themselves falling for each other after getting paired up in a class together. The young adult series follows the two as they first become really good friends and then find themselves drawn to each other romantically. The coming-of-age and coming-out comic spotlights a glowing LGBTQ+ community.

I may be biased as an Nqt (nearly qualified teacher of English) but I think that teachers have one of the hardest jobs known to man! Not only are they solely responsible for one segment of a child’s academic journey but we are also on the lookout/in charge of facilitating any educational needs, as well as making ourselves available for any safeguarding or otherwise issues where we are a point of confidence for an at-risk child. I have only ever had one serious issue of safeguarding which happened just after school hours and outside the school building but the meetings, reports and accounts I had to provide were endless and I know that some teachers have to deal with this constantly.

Kit Connor and newcomer Joe Locke will star opposite each other in See-Saw Films’ coming-of-age Netflix series Heartstopper, with filming currently underway in the UK.
Created and written by Alice Oseman from her literary series of the same name, the story follows the relationship of Charlie and Nick who, after meeting at all-boys school, become friends, and quickly discover a romance is blossoming between them.
Along the way they realise there is a strong community of allies and friends around them, helping them to access their authentic selves, but also teaching them there is no ‘right way’ to come out.
Connor (Rocketman) will play Nick Nelson, a popular year 11 student with a gentle demeanour who befriends Charlie Spring, played by Locke, a highly strung, openly gay over-thinker in the year below.
The cast also includes Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Cormac Hyde-Corrin, Sebastian Croft, Tobie Donovan, and Rhea Norwood.
