Spotify Helps Fans Celebrate the Premiere of ‘Heartstopper’ Season 3

Netflix’s hit show Heartstopper is back. This season, Nick, Charlie, and crew face new challenges as they navigate love, friendships, mental health, and more. The British series is based on the graphic novel by Alice Oseman, and this season, Alice shared that “While Heartstopper will always celebrate the joyful and point towards hope, I’m really excited that we are allowing the tone of the show to mature alongside our beloved characters growing up.”

Spotify is helping fans celebrate the season 3 premiere with loads of new content on our platform. Whether you’re midway through the season, haven’t started yet, or have already finished binging, we have audio extras, new audiobook recommendations, specialty playlists, and more to enjoy.

Music matches

The Heartstopper Official Playlist, which has been saved by more than 800,000 listeners, is updated with artists and songs featured in the new season. We also refreshed the character playlists for Nick and Charlie, Tara and Darcy, and Elle and Tao.

Within our GLOW hub, a dedicated space on Spotify spotlighting music and podcasts from LGBTQIA+ voices, listeners will find curated GLOW Tapes playlists from Kizzy Edgell, who plays the role of Darcy Olsson in the series, as well as author Alice.

“People say you’re made up of the people around you. This mix for my Spotify GLOW Tapes takeover is not just mine, but also full of people I’ve loved,” said Kizzy. “There’s angst and romance, all disjointed. Making this was reflective; I feel like you can get a pretty good sense of the type of kid I was. It’s maybe not the coolest playlist I could have made, but the songs mean so much and remind me of so much that it feels like an autobiography.”

Audiobook fun

Fans of the graphic novel can tune in to the audiobook Nick and Charlie. We’ve also created a This Is Alice Oseman audiobooks playlist to feature other books from the British author. Isaac Henderson, the resident bookworm character from the Heartstopper series, has his own audiobook playlist. This dedicated shelf on Spotify includes Isaac-approved favorites like All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson, Ace by Angela Chen, and selected classics like Emma by Jane Austen and The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.
