Creator and writer Alice said ahead of the new series: 'I cannot wait for the third season of Heartstopper to be released in October.
'Season two ended with Nick beginning to understand the extent of Charlie's mental health issues, and it's this that will drive the story through season three.
'While Heartstopper will always celebrate the joyful and point towards hope, I'm really excited that we are allowing the tone of the show to mature alongside our beloved characters growing up.
'Mental health, sex, university ambitions and more: Nick, Charlie, and the Heartstopper teens are getting older, learning more about themselves and each other, and experiencing new desires, new fears, and new joys as they approach adulthood.'
