Heartstopper star reveals huge “change in format” for cryptic Season 3 episode

As a die-hard fan of Heartstopper, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming Season 3! With Joe Locke gracing our screens as the charming Charlie, and the hint of a “change in format” in Episode 4 that promises to be both heartbreaking and steamy, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable ride.


We’re just over a week away from Heartstopper Season 3 arriving on Netflix, and Joe Locke has teased a “change in format” on the horizon for Episode 4.

It could be said that there’s perhaps no more opportune moment for Joe Locke. At the moment, he’s fully engaged, playing a role in Kathryn Hahn’s coven on Agatha All Along, and simultaneously preparing for the rollout of Heartstopper Season 3.

This month, Marvel TV show enthusiasts may find themselves deeply immersed. However, there’s some exciting news from the star concerning the upcoming Netflix series. During an interview with MTV, Locke hinted that Episode 4 will feature a “shift in structure” that fans might not be accustomed to.

He continued: “I always describe it as the first half [of Season 3] is really sad, and the second half of the season is really horny. What more do you need?

I’m truly thrilled about Episode 4! This episode marks a significant shift in the format for Heartstopper, and I can’t wait for everyone to witness this unique transformation.

At present, viewers are left with a single, enigmatic hint as to the true content of Episode 4. Back in August, it was disclosed that the title is ‘Journey,’ which, given the series’ captivating narrative, could signify any number of possibilities within its established storyline.

The title may hint at Charlie’s struggle following his diagnosis of an eating disorder, a topic that seems likely to be explored in the early episodes of Season 3.

Alternatively, the narrative might focus on the romantic journey of Nick and Charlie, detailing their experiences during prolonged separation and, ultimately, their heartfelt declaration of love for one another.

One fact we can confirm is that Episode 4 could serve as a pivotal moment in Heartstopper Season 3, given that it’s been disclosed that an extensive amount of time was dedicated to filming intimate scenes for this forthcoming episode.

During an interview with The Times, actor Kit Connor disclosed that they’ve been filming intimate scenes. They filmed a substantial amount of material for these scenes. However, only a small portion was used in the series. In total, they spent approximately 7 hours shooting these intimate scenes.

He explained further, “We’ve been proceeding cautiously, like a baby taking its first steps. In Season 1, an intimacy coordinator was always present to ensure our comfort levels, particularly when it came to holding hands.

At this moment, it’s uncertain precisely which episodes from Season 3 will include these scenes, but based on Locke’s remarks, the midpoint seems to be a significant turning point towards something far more sensual.

Look forward to the premiere of Heartstopper Season 3 on your streaming platform, set for October 3! Until then, explore our top picks from the series, meet the talented Heartstopper cast, and discover other captivating shows streaming in October.
