Mark your calendars and clear your agenda because in August, all we’ll do is binge! With three of the most anticipated queer autumn releases coming up, let’s not waste any more time and dive into everything we know so far about this iconic trio from their release dates, to the cast, where to watch these releases and the plot.
August 3rd: HEARTSTOPPER S2
Where to watch: Netflix
Starting off strong: get ready for Heartstopper season 2!! This season wrapped filming in December 2022 and is now promoting in full force for its release on the 3rd of august. After the success of the first season, Netflix greenlit this series for another two seasons, which means that the upcoming season will be the second out of a total of three seasons.
The series ‘Heartstopper’, follows the events of the book series by Alice Oseman. The back of the first book has these iconic loglines that describe the story perfectly: ‘Boy meets boy, boys become friends, boys fall in love’. What more is there to tell? Just add a highschool, loads of texting, a propper full on gay crisis, friend drama and an anoying bully in the mix and you’ve got a pretty accurate idea of where we’re left in the story.
If you’ve read the books, you know what’s coming. This season, we follow our boys on their trip to paris. And judging by the hickey on Charlie’s neck in the promotional stills we got, their relationship developed a long way from the shy ‘Hi’s we got in season one.
This season, we’ll meet Nick’s older brother, who’ll stir up some trouble for our couple. We’ll also meet Sahar; a character we haven’t met yet in the series. This new friend, portrayed by Leila Khan will join our Paris squad to add some kindness and brain cells to the mix.
Another update that I’m personally thrilled about (and I’m sure many of you with me) is that they changed Tao’s hair! Judging by the adorable little video we got for Tao and Elle, it’s much shorter and styled so well. Truly a blessing.
After last season left us with Wilhelms confession of being the one in the leaked video, we can only guess how the story will continue. What will happen to August now that everyone knows he was the one taking and leaking the video? How will the public in Sweden react now that they have an openly gay royal? Will our couple get a happy ending?
I’m excited to see the story continue, but I’m sure it will be bittersweet to say bye to the world and the characters.
Got everything noted in your agenda? Good. Then sit tight and prepare for a streaming binge!
