Heartstopper Deepdives

Joe Locke chosen as one of the Residents of Haus of MTV for Pride month 2024

Another one of these "I guess this is an award??" situations. I wasn't going to put it on the list when I first saw it but now I'm seeing others post about it so I guess I'll just count it. Little did I know when I started counting the awards I would constantly end up struggling with a) what counts as an award and b) what awards for the actors count for Heartstopper anymore when they are also doing other things now.

New Bradley Riches interview

He talks a bit about getting cast for season 1 and then again for season 2 so I put this in the casting deepdive sources playlist (I started editing that a bit more actively-ish recently. I've been in a big editing slump since uploading the last of the main series and I'm trying to get back into working on it. I just lost the routine of it so badly from taking a break that kept stretching and stretching. I am working on something else as well that is very different for the channel but still H...

Heartstopper Season 2 Episode 4 Full Patreon reaction/commentary

Season 2 behind the scenes picture posted by Sorcha Fisher

Makeup artist Sorcha Fisher posted 3 behind the scenes pictures on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/C7bg77hqHUU/ today. I already had the other 2 but this one is new to me. I put it in the stuff I missed Drive folder.

New instagram post by DOP Simona Susnea

https://www.instagram.com/p/C7TxafEClTk/

It's a behind the scenes photo but I doubt I'll even have a use for this since you can't tell what they're filming at all in this. I'm still saving it anyway.

Heartstopper mentioned by the Bridgerton cast - season 3 sources

I know this is kind of random but Nicola Coughlan mentions Jonathan Bailey (who plays Anthony Bridgerton in Bridgerton) playing "a hot guy" in Heartstopper season 3 and I saved this because I thought I could potentially use it for a funny insert for the Jonathan Bailey episode. So I put it in the season 3 sources list. (Also I'm just so into Bridgerton right now I was thrilled about Nic calling Nick and Charlie cuties.)

Another Disney Upfront red carpet interview with Joe Locke

They talk about Agatha first but then also briefly about Heartstopper season 3. Joe almost spoils the whole Jonathan Bailey scene and says it wasn't hard to act having a celebrity crush on Jonathan Bailey and also that Nick and Charlie are ready to take the next step in their relationship in season 3.

New Bradley Riches interview

“Bradley Riches on Gen Z love, ‘going evil’ and the future of Heartstopper” by Adam Bloodworth for City A.M. March 19th 2024

This is mostly about his other projects and engagement etc, Heartstopper is only mentioned a bit and there's no new info other than that Bradley would love to come back for season 4 if there was something to do for his character. I put it in the Other Heartstopper Adjacent Links doc.

Heartstopper wins Media Moment of the Year for Isaac's asexual storyline at the Bank of London Rainbow Honours 2024

Video posted by rainbowhonours on Instagram stories (will remain visible in the #TBOLRH24 highlights), below pictures posted by brad_riches on Instagram stories. (I'll keep looking for possible acceptance speech videos etc if those get posted in the future) (I also fixed the Awards 2024 sheet, I can't believe I had left 2023 on pretty much everything and didn't notice! And I'm adding that Heartstopper vol5 ...

Heartstopper Season 2 Episode 3 Full Patreon reaction/commentary

Alice Oseman answered some questions about season 3 on Tumblr!

They specified it was OK to share these on social media (they usually want to keep their tumblr stuff on tumblr) so here's what was said:

Alice (chronicintrovert):

"HELLO I just managed to log into tumblr on mobile for the first time in many years

Did you all enjoy the little trailer!!!? If you have any questions about it I will try my best to answer in the replies 🥹 I’m so excited to TALK about SEASON 3"

Tobie Donovan interview from 2 months back - S3 sources

Embeds are not supported on this video so here's the link again in case you can't see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTQwIWI2G34

He talks about filming the beach scene in season 3 so I'm putting it in the season 3 sources ...

Another little interview clip of Joe Locke talking about Heartstopper season 3

At the Disney Upfront event just minutes ago. Same stuff he's said before but still, added it to the s3 links list

Little interview with Joe Locke briefly mentioning Heartstopper season 3

"More love" in season 3. Nothing we haven't heard before but it's still so nice to see them able to even mention the show :)

Stumbled on a possible casting leak(?) from United Agents

Just seen this tweet from UnitedAgents sharing the date announcement: https://twitter.com/UnitedAgents/status/1790071175168602299

Martin Marquez? This is the first I'm hearing of this! I wonder who he's playing? Nick's uncle Rich?

New red carpet interview with Corinna Brown!

From the BAFTA Television Awards red carpet yesterday, May 12th 2024. I put it in the extra videos & season 3 sources playlists for now, although of course she doesn't say anything specific about season 3.

SEASON 3 OCTOBER 3RD!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my God I did not have any warning so I could not do a reaction video to this! OMG! (I swear I specifically guessed October 3rd at some point but of course I didn't write it down anywhere)

Heartstopper wins Outstanding Kids & Family Programming or Film - Live Television at the GLAAD Media Awards!

No win for Queer Fan Favorite (that went to Red, White & Royal Blue) or Outstanding Graphic Novel (winner was Four-Color Heroes by Richard Fairgray).

Picture from instagram post by see_saw_films & heartstopper https://www.instagram.com/p/C62-IbdCYa6/

First still of season 3 as the new thumbnail for the season 3 announcement video

This is now the thumbnail to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q5NY7ZvX6s that we saw a month ago and no, we don't have an actual date still despite what the text says! Some people have posted their attempts to remove the text but Charlie's hand looks wonky in those so I'll just wait for them to post the picture officially without the text.

Jonathan Bailey talks about getting his role on Heartstopper -video interview

Article about sex and disability by Ash Self - other Heartstopper adjacent links

“I’m young, vibrant, disabled – why wouldn’t I be having sex?“ by Ash Self for Independent May 2nd 2024

I forgot this in my bookmarks and only read it now, that's why I'm late posting it. Nothing to do with Heartstopper, I just put it in the other Heartstopper adjacent links list because it was written by Ash Self (Felix in Heartstopper season 2).

I put it in the season 2 "Stuff I missed" Drive folder

Intimacy coordinator David Thackeray on the Fake Sex podcast

He talks about Heartstopper (season 1) starting around the 18 minute mark. I put this in the season 1 sources list doc under a new "stuff I missed" header that I just added in. What he says about Heartstopper here is along the lines of what he's said before, i.e. he was present for everything including the handholding because the show is all about relationships and also about working with young actors and how he approaches that differently and for what reasons.
