The first season of Netflix\u2019s Heartstopper<\/a> surprised fans with an appearance from Olivia Colman<\/a>, and while season 2 is yet to be confirmed, star Joe Locke already has plans for another big-name celebrity.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old, who stars as Charlie Spring in the series, has revealed that he\u2019d like The White Lotus favourite Jennifer Coolidge to join the cast for season 2.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u00a0and other press on the\u00a0BAFTA Television Awards<\/a>\u00a0red carpet, Locke said that he didn\u2019t yet know anything about a potential season 2, adding: \u201cI will be the last person to be told. We want there to be.\u201d<\/p>

He continued: \u201cI always say, I want Jennifer Coolidge to be my cool grandma. My American grandma. That would be quite cool.<\/p>\n

\u201cKit [Connor] got Olivia Colman, I want Jennifer Coolidge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Based on Alice Oseman\u2019s graphic novel of the same name<\/a>, Heartstopper is a coming-of-age drama which follows Charlie, a gay schoolboy, who falls in love with his classmate Nick Nelson (Kit Connor).<\/p>\n

Viewers also met Nick\u2019s mother Sarah, played by Olivia Colman, and the season finale saw Nick come out to his mum as bisexual in moving scenes.<\/p>\n

Heartstopper also featured the voice of Stephen Fry, who plays the headmaster of Truham Grammar School for Boys, with Locke telling RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press he was surprised that so few people recognised Fry\u2019s voice in the trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
