Netflix has released the first trailer for “Heartstopper” Season 2, which gives a look at the students setting off for France. The queer romantic comedy series is set to return on Aug. 3.
Starring Kit Connor as Nick Nelson and Joe Locke as Charlie Spring, the second season will follow the young couple as they navigate their relationship, prepare for prom and head abroad with their classmates.
In an intimate scene from the trailer, Spring reassures Nelson that he’s okay with his partner taking his time with his coming-out process: “I want you to come out when and how you want to come out.”
