Heartstopper (Season 3): Official trailer
Tobie Donovan, star of the popular Netflix series Heartstopper, has hinted that the forthcoming third season will explore a sexuality seldom depicted on television.
The successful show, based on graphic novels bearing the same title, follows the budding romance between schoolboys Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor).
In addition to its main characters, the series also features a diverse array of young LGBTQ+ teenagers. Tobie's character, Isaac, is a shy individual whose sexuality remained ambiguous in the first season of the coming-of-age drama.
However, in the second season, Isaac identifies as asexual, and the actor has suggested that the new season will delve further into his journey of self-discovery.
Speaking on the official Heartstopper podcast alongside co-star Rhea Norwood and Drag Queen Tia Kofi, Tobie gave fans a glimpse of what they can anticipate in the upcoming episodes.

"Isaac has a real journey of learning to love and accept his asexuality and aromanticism. Which is a thing that we don't see on TV very often, so it's really cool to represent that and to get to be that voice for a group of people that might not see themselves on TV otherwise," he shared, adding: "I hope that people see themselves in it."
Tobie also discussed his preparation for the character's development. He stated: "There's a lot of pressure to get it right because there's not been anything like it. But I did the research and worked as hard as I could on making it feel authentic and I hope people enjoy it," reports the Daily Star.
Rhea also teased Imogen's progression in future episodes, revealing that "there is some drunken snogging."
When asked by a fan about her on-set essentials, she shared that her headphones are a must-have.
In the podcast, Rhea explained: "I love listening to music and I always have a playlist for my character in each season [with] songs that trace a similar journey to what my character is doing."
She also mentioned that she would listen to Billie Eilish's What Was I Made For to get into the right mindset for the show's emotional scenes.
Heartstopper Season 3 will be available to stream on Netflix from October 3
