Here's when Hearstopper season 3 (and its new Billie Eilish song) is coming out
Yes, you read that right! New music from the Grammy-winning queer pop star is going to be featured in the beloved Netflix series.
Now we know when our favorite queer teens are coming back for season 3!
Netflix's global hit series Hearstopper is coming back for a third season, showing us what happens next in the lives of Charlie (Joe Locke), Nick (Kit Connor) and all the others. And now, we know exactly when it will come!
In a new date annoucement teaser video for the third season of the show, Charlie is practicing telling Nick "I love you," when his sister walks in.
"I'm shocked you haven't said it already," she tells Charlie.
"I don't want him to have to say the awkward 'I love you too' cause he feels obligated to," he replies.
The new teaser reveals that the eight episodes of season 3 will debut on Netflix on October 3.
The entire preview is set to an exclusive snippet of a brand new Billie Eilish song, "Birds of a Feather," which (fittingly for a song featured in Heartstopper) will be her first single since coming out.
The new song is expected to be featured on the Grammy and Oscar winner's upcoming third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is scheduled for release on May 17.
The official season 3 description reads: "Charlie would like to tell Nick that he loves him. Nick also has something important to say to Charlie. As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realize that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges. As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and parties and start thinking about university choices, everyone must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn't go to plan."
The third season of Hearstopper has some big new names joining the cast, including Eddie Marsan as Geoff, "Charlie's wise and straight-talking therapist," Hayley Atwell, who will play Nick's Aunt Diane, and Fellow Travelers hunk Jonathan Bailey, who will play Jack Maddox, an "Instagram-famous classicist and celebrity crush of Charlie."
You can check out all of the new Heartstopper adventures on October 3 on Netflix.
