'Heartstopper' Producer Says They Are 'Working Hard' On Getting Netflix Show Renewed for Season 4
Fans are anxiously awaiting a renewal announcement for Heartstopper.
The fan-favorite Netflix series, based on the graphic novel series by Alice Oseman, debuted it’s third season in October 2024 and the streamer has remained mum on a fourth season.
Alice has previously mentioned that season four would focus on the sixth book, which she is currently still working on.
In February, Alice gave an update on the status of the possibility of a renewal, and now, producer Patrick Walters is sharing another update and notes they are working on it.

While appearing at Series Mania in France this week, Patrick said that “there are a lot of moving parts” in getting season four off the ground, and “we are working hard on it.”
However, there is no other update aside from that. He also shared that he’s seen funding challenges over “seasons and seasons with Heartstopper” that have gotten worse, along with “production complexities of making and commissioning TV in this moment.”
“The challenge is what you need to do in this moment is to pitch something that feels specific and there is precedent for it and it is moving the conversation on,” Patrick said. “But that is a risk. Often I find you want to gravitate towards risky material and it needs that passion – but that’s a challenge.”
