Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love.
Netflix has finally released an official full-length trailer for the adorable gay romance series Heartstopper. Based on the beautiful graphic novels by Alice Oseman, Heartsopper follows two teens at a British all-boys grammar school. Charlie (Joe Locke) is a high-strung, openly gay over-thinker with an eccentric friend group. When he gets seated next to Nick (Kit Connor), a soft-hearted rugby player, his world gets turned upside down. He doesn’t think he has a chance with Nick, but love works in surprising ways.

The coming-of-age story is about life, love, and everything in between. It brings an honest depiction of the judgment and expectations commonly pushed on LGBTQIA+ youth while they attempt to find their place in this world. And how powerful acceptance and support can be on a journey of self-discovery.
