Heartstopper is a British coming of age-romance streaming television series on Netflix, adapted from the webcomic and graphic novel of the same name by Alice Oseman. Written by Oseman herself, the series primarily tells the story of Charlie Spring (portrayed by Joe Locke), a gay schoolboy who falls in love with classmate Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), whom he sits next to in his new form. It also explores the lives of their friends: Tao (William Gao), Elle (Yasmin Finney), Tara (Corinna Brown), Darcy (Kizzy Edgell) and Isaac (Tobie Donovan).

The television rights for the series were purchased by See-Saw Films in 2019, and Netflix acquired distribution rights in 2021. Euros Lyn was enlisted as the director. Filming took place from April to June that year, with teasers released throughout the timeframe. Various pre-existing songs were used as the series' soundtrack in addition to an original score by Adiescar Chase. The cinematographic styles and colour grading were planned ahead to give the series atmospheric elegance, amplified by the use of traditional animation adapted from the source material.

Heartstopper was released on 22 April 2022. It received critical acclaim, particularly for its tone and pacing, as well as its representation of the LGBT community. It gained instant popularity, being among the top 10 English series on Netflix in just two days. It also prompted the popularity of the graphic novels as well as the series' songs. On 20 May 2022, it was announced that Heartstopper was renewed for a second and third season.

Production

Writing and pre-production

File:Alice-oseman.jpg
Alice Oseman (pictured 2022) wrote the screenplay based on her webcomic and graphic novel of the same name.

In 2016, Alice Oseman started a webcomic titled Heartstopper which later expanded to a graphic novel after gaining a cult following.[1] Sometime in 2019, See-Saw Films asked Oseman if she could try writing a screenplay.[2] They had been suggested by Patrick Walters, who helped with Oseman's Kickstarter campaign in 2018.[3] She expressed interest in doing it, noting the lack of wholesome, teenage LGBT representation in television, hoping that this could potentially assure LGBT youth "that they can find happiness and find romance and find friendship." She wrote the screenplay based on the first two volumes of the graphic novel. See-Saw Films liked it[2] and optioned the television rights later in July.[4]

On 20 January 2021, it was revealed that Netflix ordered Heartstopper as an eight-episode half-hour series.[5] It was deemed the best platform by Oseman and Walters due to its global availability.[6] Euros Lyn was enlisted as director and executive producer. He had not read the original source material, and called the screenplay riveting.[7] Netflix "Kids & Family content" director Patrick Wheeleer said that the story "deserves to be told" due to its relatability among the young demographic.[1] Also executive producing the series were Patrick Walters, Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, and Emile Sherman, with Zorana Piggott as producer. Production design was done by Tim Dickel, series set decoration by Maxwell Fine and props by Zoe Seiffert.[8] During production, the programme had a working title of Evergreen.[9]

Casting

To provide an authentic depiction, Oseman wanted actual young people to portray the characters.[10] Daniel Edwards-Guy served as casting director. An open casting call went out in January and February 2021 for five of the main characters as well as three recurring.[11] Oseman explained that the character Aled would not appear in the adaptation to respect his story in another novel within the Heartstopper universe, Radio Silence. After over 10,000 people auditioned via Zoom, she announced the first round of casting in April 2021, with Kit Connor and Joe Locke starring as Nick and Charlie respectively.[10][12] Heartstopper additionally marked Locke's acting debut. Connor initially auditioned as Charlie, and the producers immediately changed his role to Nick.[13] After agreeing that Locke suits Charlie's role, Connor was auditioned and the production team found a chemistry in the two;[14] they themselves recalled only taking a few hours to bond.[13]

The rest of the cast were announced days later, which include Yasmin Finney, Sebastian Croft, William Gao, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Cormac Hyde-Corrin, Rhea Norwood, and Tobie Donovan.[15] Jenny Walser joined in the cast in May.[16] The final audition was conducted face-to-face.[10] Having worked with her previously, Lyn reached out to Olivia Colman after Oseman expressing interest in a notable actress to portray Sarah, who accepted the offer. It was also noted that fans of the webcomic and graphic novel agreed Colman being suited for the series.[17] Lyn said that Colman's "instinctive" and "warm" character fits Sarah as Nick's mother.[7]

Filming

File:Heartstopper Ben kisses Charlie.ogv
This scene in "Meet" where Ben forcibly kisses Charlie utilises hand-held cinematography to evoke the documentary genre. The blue-yellow colour palette was chosen to give the series a lighthearted atmosphere, but the school interior's colours were controlled not to be overdone.

Filming began on location throughout United Kingdom in April and wrapped in June 2021.[18] It mostly took place in Burnham, Buckinghamshire. The now derelict E-Act Burnham Park Academy was used for the interiors and exteriors of the Truham Grammar School.[19] A Hollywood Bowl bowling alley in High Wycombe was used for filming. The rugby match shown in "Secret" was filmed at the Thames Valley Athletics Centre. The railway station from where Nick and Charlie depart to the seaside is North Weald railway station in Essex, but the actual scene on the seaside is in Herne Bay, Kent. After milkshakes, Charlie and his friends are seen walking along the River Thames in Windsor, Berkshire before their concert.[20] Colman filmed all her scenes in two days.[21] In "Boyfriend", during a scene where Nick and Charlie take a train, Oseman decided to give herself a cameo as a passenger; she is drawing the couple offscreen.[22] The scene near the end of the episode featuring a merry-go-round was filled with crew members.[23]

Diana Olifirova was enlisted as cinematographer. She was immediately presented with challenges in visually depicting "love and emotion and tenderness". Using an Arri Alexa Mini LF with Canon K35 spherical lenses, she used hand-held cinematography to give the cast space and to resemble the documentary genre. With production designer Tim Dickel, they conceived a lighthearted colour palette of orange, yellow, turquoise, as well as a mix of pink and blue. Olifrova employed colour gel for the lighting, which she had previously done for We Are Lady Parts. The colours of the school building was controlled to not be overdone, but at the same time vivid. The scenes during Harry's birthday party were filmed in daytime, and thus the production team had to shut the windows and used artificial lighting to resemble outdoor lights. Transitions between seasons were achieved through lens flares.[24] The opening scene was achieved with two takes, because for the first, the depth of field for Nick achieved through the Contrazoom was deemed overdone; they later managed to reshoot to make the scene more minimalistic.[7] As Tara and Darcy kiss in "Kiss", Nick is bathed in bisexual lighting, symbolising him realising his sexuality; this was suggested to Olifirova by the series' creative team.[25]

Production designer Tim Dickel worked with set decorator Maxwell Fine, who used his experience in past art lessons to create a realistic representation of British classrooms.[23] Dickel, meanwhile, asked his friends to photograph their kids' rooms, creating a mood board which were reviewed by the cast.[26] Some of the set objects also change as the characters progress and grow. At the geography classroom, Nick's seat was located to have him backgrounded by images of rocks; Fine correlated this with metamorphic rocks forming under pressure, symbolising Nick and Charlie's romantic development. The former has his room littered with items, representing his complicated life. Elle's room is "more refined" and artistic, Tao's room was designed to reflect his cinephilia, and Tara's is awash with teddy bears per the screenplay. With respect to the source material, several set objects were given a hand-drawn style. Reflective of the characters, Charlie's room is wide and chaotic, while Nick's is tidier. Oseman drew murals to be depicted in the series; they were inspired by the works of Hokusai and Julian Opie.[23]

Post-production

In the series, traditionally-animated leaves float around during moments of love, a direct copy of the visual motifs in the webcomic. In Nick and Charlie's first kiss scene, sparks of electricity come out as Charlie tries touching Nick's hand. Animated seagulls and lovebirds are also seen. Oseman said that it represents a "feeling of magic" they intended to evoke. She had already thought of it while writing the screenplay, conceiving that they would appear primarily during the intimate scenes between Nick and Charlie which she dubbed "Heartstopper moments". Eventually, Anna Peronetto was chosen to create the animations, using a storyboard by Oseman. Peronetto had been a fan of the original source material, and was chosen when Oseman made an Instagram post looking for traditional animators. She discussed with Lyn and editor Sofie Alonzi to see what kinds of animations fit in a certain scene. For the lovebirds, she analyzed London feral parakeets.[24][27][28]

Using DaVinci Resolve, Olifirova worked remotely with colourist Toby Tomkins, working for the company Cheat, to create a 3D lookup table (LUT) that resembles the shots' colour palette, as well as "add[ing] a hint of turquoise in the shadows and warmth to skin tones." Lyn had told them he wanted the colour intensity to increase as the story progresses and as seasons change. They talked about how to create a proper Dolby Vision high dynamic range for the series, establishing colour and tonal limits. Then, the LUT's brightness was stopped down by one so that Olifirova could create additional light in the shadows and experiment with the colour grading. Tomkins worked on the first two episodes for two days, before working on individual remaining episodes for a day-and-a-half.[24][29]

The score was composed by Adiescar Chase, who made use of electronic riffs as well as the contemporary style.[30]

Reception

Audience viewership

During its debut week, Heartstopper ranked at number seven on Netflix's Top 10 TV English titles, just two days after its release. Based on Netflix's methodology of measuring a programme by the number of hours, it was watched by 14.55 million hours viewed.[39] The following week, the show climbed to number 5 with 23.94 million hours viewed[40]. In its third week, the show dropped to sixth position with new viewership numbers of 14.97 million viewing hours.[41][42]

Critical response

The series has received critical acclaim. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a "Certified Fresh" 100% approval rating with an average rating of 8.5/10, based on 42 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "An inclusive romance told with striking sensitivity, Heartstopper is so effortlessly charming that viewers won’t dare skip a beat."[43] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 84 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[44]

Reviewing the series for The Guardian, Rebecca Nicholson gave a rating of 4/5 and said, "Heartstopper may not quite live up to the dramatic promise of its title, but this adorable teen romance is a heartwarmer, at the very least."[45] Saloni Gajjar of The A.V. Club gave the series an A- and said "Thankfully, Heartstopper subverts notions by keeping its protagonist proudly gay: It’s the love interest who has to sort through his unexpected feelings, not the other way around. Nick’s attraction to Charlie catches him by surprise (but not disdain)."[46] Digital Spy's David Opie gave a rating of 5/5 and said, "Heartstopper centres queer love, affirming the feelings of young people watching who might be unsure or afraid to speak their truth."[47] Jonathan Wilson of Ready Steady Cut gave a rating of 4/5 and stated, "Heartstopper might lack some edge and feel as if it’s speaking to a younger demographic than the usual teen drama, but its deeply uplifting portrait of young love is very difficult not to get swept up in."[48] For Paste Magazine, Emily Maskell gave a rating of 8.8/10 and said, "An open-armed embrace for queer youth, Heartstopper lays the strong foundations of what you can only hope will be the uplifting and inclusive depictions of queer characters for the next generation of viewers."[49] Ezelle Alblas for The Upcoming gave a 5/5 rating and said, "Heartstopper feels like a show everyone needs to see. It’s sweet without the cheese and quietly radical without the shock factor of shows like Sex Education, Euphoria or It's a Sin."[50]

Impact

Following the release of the series, volume one of Oseman's Heartstopper graphic novel became the top-selling children's bestseller in the UK.[51] Songs featured in the series received large increases in chart sales and streams. Songs on the soundtrack that received a surge in chart sales when compared to the previous week included "Want Me" and "Dover Beach" by Baby Queen, "Why Am I Like This" by Orla Gartland, and "I Belong In Your Arms" by Chairlift.[52]

When asked on whether there would be a second season, Walters said that they are looking forward to it, seeing that the executives of Netflix seems to "understand" the series.[22] Locke and Connor had also expressed anticipation for a renewal, noting the narrative progression in the series' source material.[13] On 20 May 2022, following Netflix's review of the 28-day viewing figures, it was announced that the series had been renewed for two more seasons.[53]
