Kit Connor has revealed when he hopes to start filming new episodes of Heartstopper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At a live recording of the Radio Times Podcast<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0BFI & Radio Times TV Festival<\/a><\/strong>, Connor spoke with Jane Garvey and resident TV critic Rhianna Dhillon about his show Heartstopper \u2013 which has just been renewed for second and third seasons<\/a> by Netflix.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Connor revealed: \u201cI don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t have any sort of official dates. You know, hopefully in the next couple of months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor also discussed the importance of the show as one which couldn\u2019t have existed 20 or 30 years ago.<\/p>

\u201cI think it\u2019s something that you just can\u2019t take for granted, to be honest, the fact that we\u2019re able to make a show like Heartstopper is such a privilege to be able to live in a time that we can do that,\u201d commented Connor, who plays Nick Nelson in the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then again, it is also so necessary. I feel like Heartstopper has got such an important place in the world, and in media and everything. What I always preach about Heartstopper is that it is just showing people being happy. There\u2019s never enough of that, and you can\u2019t get enough of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, all you see in media is these really, frankly, important issues but just really quite depressing issues as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think it\u2019s so important that even in this day and age where we can make it, it doesn\u2019t mean that necessity isn\u2019t still there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old actor, who also voices the daemon Pantalaimon in His Dark Materials<\/a>, discussed what Heartstopper offers that is different to other teen dramas such as Euphoria.<\/p>\n

On the show\u2019s warmth and \u201cfuzziness\u201d, Connor commented: \u201cYeah, there\u2019s nothing wrong with that\u2026 I think there\u2019s so much darkness [and] grittiness, which is great sometimes. It\u2019s cool to watch things like Euphoria, where it\u2019s just loads of really hot people just sort of doing it, but, you know, that\u2019s a very common thing in media.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s nice to have things that are just happy, and just nice. It\u2019s a bit sad, it\u2019s got some drama in it, but for the most part, it\u2019s just people being happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
