Alice Oseman On Seeing The Heartstopper Cast For The First Time 🍂 | Netflix

Teens Charlie and Nick discover their unlikely friendship might be something more as they navigate school and young love in this coming-of-age series.

It must have been the most relieving and satisfying thing to find cast that look EXACTLY like the comic characters

[kingboogy]

As a young LGBTQ+ member, this show and, before that, comic, helped me so much. It's so nice to see representation like this on the screen. Alice and everyone else involved did an amazing job, and I will never be the same again (in the best way possible)

[trinaq]

I love Alice, her novels got me through Secondary School. I love how proud she is of the cast, and how superbly well they brought her book to life!

[Gildedpossum]

I've never seen Netflix push THIS much extra content for a show like this
We better be getting the S2 announcement soon 😤

[PokhrajRoy.]

Quote of the Day: “I want ‘Heartstopper’ to inspire young people, especially young LGBTQ+ people to be whoever they want to be and to believe that they can find happiness and find love and find friendship.”

[DH-qsmz]

Yes, I definitely agree. I love the way they were able to stick to the comics and portrait it well on the screen. Everything is so pure and well put together. Thank you Alice! As a 22 year old. I surely appreciate this art. We all deserve happiness. Cannot wait for season two. Netflix come on! :)

[jaws]

I'm so happy Alice is 100% involved on the production of her own story!!! And i really hope it remains that way.

"Why do you keep on rewatching Heartstopper?"

It just feels like home to me ✨

[minnie]

Alice did a perfect job. They really created a masterpiece I'll forever be in awe

[ca.um]

I bet that she is extremely proud of her comics after seeing them being brought to life so beautifully. The show did her work justice. Perfect casting choices. Bravo 👑👏🏻

[narutotrickzxtvD]

Alice literally hit the jackpot with her heartstopper project, she developed a story that people wanted to see., got a cast that gets along, look like her beloved characters and have really great chemistry with each while also getting to keep that creative control for the shows tv adaption as a core consultant. She really won!

[alank]

I hope Alice knows that Heartstopper isn't just inspiring younger people. I have not been a teenager in a very long time and it has had a huge impact on me as well. It's the most significant LGBTQ+ TV show in history if you ask me. Perfection on so many levels, especially the cast. All of them!

[Pwvtdk]

Alice is just a god she really is doing all of this for everyone’s enjoyment, WE LOVE YOU ALICE ❤️❤️❤️

[doxull]

Well if Alice's goal was to inspire young queer people to become whoever they want to be and believe in the fact that they'll find happiness one day... You've already done that a million times over by now I'm sure. I'm one of many of those you've inspired and your story. Both book and the show has gotten me out of a rut that I've been stuck in since I was 11 years old growing up in a religious and very close minded household where I felt like I could lose the care of my providers if I even dared to think about who I actually liked.


So thank you Alice. Thank you to See-Saw productions. Thank you netflix. Believe me when I say Heartstopper is singlehandedly keeping my subscription to your service :>

brb. I'm gonna go on my 7th reread of the comics and watch the show once again. 💛

[paulasmt]

I just love Alice soo much, she is so talented and seems like an incredible human being. We really need a second season. <3

[RickyReviews]

Alice seems like such a sweetheart <3 I'm so glad she was able to make her comics into a TV show on one of the largest platforms in the world. Hoping for a season 2 announcement soon!

[hello-bkkf]

I’m so proud of alice. I’ve been a fan of the comics and I’m so happy alice got the opportunity to make it into a Netflix series. I hope we’ll get a second season! I love the show :)

[mayzcantdraw]

I adore the fact that the crew and cast seem so close - you rarely get that with casts and shows, and when Alice said that when an actor has a problem the crew is always there for them, it truly warms my heart <3

[WhatAlex]

I can’t even imagine the feeling of spending years writing, drawing, and creating personalities and storylines for characters you’ve created, and then having those characters translated into a tv show must’ve been such a surreal experience. Like the characters she created, that only existed in her mind and in her comics, were standing right in front of her… that’s insane

[faazilaraiza]

This by far the most beautiful story and live version ever. Like the movie is sure elaborated further giving us more information about the characters we love. It must have been amazing to watch your hard work becoming into a series on international TV. I've been REWATCHING heartstopper so many times and it still doesn't fail to make me smile like an idiot, as Tao says, "As a token straight fan of making me obsessed 😃" Let me just cry in a corner this is such a fairytale kind of vibe. *SNIFFLE*
