Joe Locke and Kit Conner, stars of the hit Netflix series Heartstopper, liken the show to a classic Hollywood romance for queer audiences.
Since its debut back in April, Netflix's Heartstopper brought an abundance of joy across audiences, from those who were already familiar with its source material and people just finding out about the story centered on queer joy. Based on Alice Oseman's graphic novels, Heartstopper follows Nick and Charlie , two teenagers whose blooming friendship begins to grow into something more. As it does, Nick goes on his own journey of discovering his sexuality.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "I think we all expected it to have this quite young Gen Z audience. What we weren’t expecting was the millennial-age people who watched the show and saw what they didn’t have when they were growing up. I think we’d especially overlooked that sort of person who would watch it. Mainly because 'Heartstopper' is so rare and so new. I don’t think 'Heartstopper' would have been made even five years ago, let alone 15 or 20 years ago.
