behind the series are remaining coy regarding their plans, but dropped some small hints for fans while speaking at a panel for the Edinburgh International TV Festival 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Oseman, writer of the both the Heartstopper web comics and the Netflix adaptation, said while on the panel that the team have been \u201cworking on\u201d season 2, but remained tight-lipped about what was in store for fans.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, executive producer Patrick Walters teased that art teacher Mr Ajayi, played by Fisayo Akinade, would have his own developing storyline across future instalments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\"

as they were getting to see a school experience which was more positive, affirming and inclusive than their own, Walters said that the show had \u201ca spirit\u201d that \u201cit\u2019s never too late\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He then added: \u201cNot to get too much into it, but we\u2019ve got Mr Ajayi whose storyline is going to develop in subsequent seasons and that\u2019s going to be just as lovely and joyful as Nick and Charlie\u2019s, so there is hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heartstopper is based on a web comic series, which was itself a spin-off of Oseman\u2019s first novel Solitaire. That book included Charlie and Nick as minor characters, while in Heartstopper their relationship took centre stage.<\/p> <p>At the Edinburgh International TV Festival panel, Oseman was asked whether there could therefore be a separate adaptation of Solitaire yet to come, and an entire universe of Heartstopper shows on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>She responded that there are \u201cno current plans\u201d, adding: \u201cI think my life is consumed by Heartstopper at the moment, I literally don\u2019t have the brain space to think about anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So it seems that, for now, fans will have to make do with the already announced second and third seasons of the smash-hit series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heartstopper seasons 2 and 3 are coming to <a href=\"\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/title\/81059939&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Netflix<\/a>, with the first season available to stream now.
