    However, Sebastian isn't coming back for Season 3. In August, series creator Alice Oseman told Netflix's Tudum, "Ben's role in Heartstopper is now complete."

    Olivia Colman, who played Nick's mother, is reportedly not returning either. In March, she told Forbes she "couldn't do" Season 3. "I couldn't fit it in. I feel awful about that," she said, adding, "I feel like I was part of one of the most beautiful things I've ever been part of."

    Don't take Sebastian and Olivia's exits to mean Season 3 will be lacking. Far from it. On Thursday, Netflix announced three major stars joining the new season, and they're all familiar faces:

    Netflix even released a teaser video of Jonathan in character as Jack. It's worth noting Jonathan's role is expected to be small as he's only cameoing on the show.
