The hit Netflix teen drama returns for a second outing this summer. <\/p>
Kit Connor\u2019s character Nick is set to face a \u201cnasty\u201d obstacle in Heartstopper<\/a> season 2, according to the show\u2019s creator Alice Oseman.<\/p>\n The writer \u2013 who adapted the beloved Netflix<\/a> series from her own graphic novels \u2013 revealed the news exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an interview to promote the show\u2019s nomination for BAFTA Most Memorable Moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAs with season one, there is more tension and drama because we have slowed down the story,\u201d they said when comparing what will happen in future episodes to the graphic novels.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything happens so fast in the graphic novels, but in the show, we want to lengthen the storylines, therefore more obstacles have to cross our characters\u2019 paths. This season, Nick wants to come out to the world, but faced with his nasty brother, his mostly absent father, and his laddy mates, soon finds that it\u2019s not as easy as he initially thought.\u201d<\/p> Oseman added that while Charlie (Joe Locke) was focused on supporting Nick, he may end up neglecting his own feelings as a result \u2013 with Nick then starting to feel concerned about his mental health.<\/p>\n However, they added: \u201cBut no matter the challenges ahead for the Heartstopper gang, we all know that they\u2019ll be okay in the end!\u201d<\/p>\n The show became a monumental hit when it landed on the streamer last year, and although Oseman initially said the main target audience was younger viewers it proved every bit as successful with older demographics as well.<\/p>\n
