Heartstopper Season 3 – Exclusive Interview with Alice Oseman
Season 3 of Heartstopper broke new ground in several ways for the television adaptation of Alice Oseman's beloved graphic novels.
The third installment of the Netflix coming-of-age series, starring Joe Locke as Charlie Spring and Kit Connor as Nick Nelson, marked several coming-of-age decisions for the main couple and their group of friends, many of whom had college choices in mind as the season drew to a close. Oseman, who wrote the show's scripts, worked on the fifth installment of the graphic novels while adapting Season 3, which differed from the construction of previous seasons.
"There was a point when I was at the end of writing Season 3 where I wrote the same scene in both formats at the same time. They collided right at the end, but when I was writing Season 3, I didn't even have a sixth planned," Oseman told Deadline. "Writing Season 3 was really the point where the comics and the show met. They're at the same point now. It was scary in that sense because normally in previous seasons I would give the books to all the cast members and all the department heads would get to read the comic and see what the scenes from the scripts are in the original comics, but I couldn't do that for fifth because it literally didn't exist as a book yet."
