The Making Of Heartstopper 🍂 | Netflix 

The amount of LGBTQIA+ representation in this show is such a gold standard. The coming out scene reminded me of how I came out to my parents last year. I came out to my parents the day before my 20th birthday and boy it was perfect. I can proudly boast to people that I have a mother like Sarah Nelson.

the fact that they had an lgbtq+ consultant and training on safe spaces and even language, included a charity, had a crew and cast who were actually part of the community, the amazing director, producer and of course, alice. everything about it was so perfectly curated and cared for, every single detail, it just resulted in a masterpiece. this means so much. looking forward to so much more of heartstopper

As a 61-year-old gay old man, this series made me cry like a child. What a beautiful message for the new generations. It made me remember my secret high school crush. I am a hopeless romantic.

This is what art is all about. Effecting people, expressing yourself, influencing others. Heartstopper made me feel a way that no other form of media has done for me. It made me laugh, cry, scream and smile and made me feel like I am not alone in the world of discovering yourself, and that will be the same for a whole generation of LGBTQ+ youth. Thank you Heartstopper

Thank u alice for writing heartstopper and thank u Netflix for making it a show. Both the book and the show are my absolute comfort

The fact that they really tried and made the effort to create this LGBTQ+ show with as many creatives, talents, and actors that were also part of the community speaks volumes. I'm ridiculously obsessed with this show and everyone involved in it.

I love that they introduce the show as "Alice Oseman's Heartstopper". Heartstopper is really Alice's masterpiece and I think that the fact they were so involved in the making of the show is a big part of the reason it is such a beautiful adaptation.

UGHHH I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES!! THE WHOLE 8 EPISODES ARE WORTH IT

"If you don't see that growing up, you don't think you can have it." Those words resonated with me so much, and so very true. Thank you Heartstopper, for allowing me to believe in something different.

I don't know if Netflix realizes how lucky they got with Heartstopper! This is THE MOST SPECIAL SHOW!💗💜 The fact that so many ppl all around the world had similar reactions to it can tell u how this show was able to touch us in a way no other show or movie was able to ever. I still can't believe this was the first time a show made me feel like this. All the feelings n emotions n butterflies I used to love to feel came back but this time with optimism n hope of a happy ending or beginning. It finally allowed us to completely feel the emotions we used to repress. I said what everyone's saying- Why didn't it come out when I was in high school?! But I'm grateful for this show cuz it brought back (or gave us) the feelings we were robbed of years ago. I felt soooo good watching it! It took too long to happen but I'm grateful we got to feel this feeling cuz of Heartstopper.😌💗💜❤️💛 I'm so happy for the que er kids who'll get to see this n know that it's okay to dream about love n they deserve to be loved n be happy. Heartstopper is providing the optimism, that I know i didn't have when i was in school, to those kids. This show is always going to have a special place in my heart.💗💜

This is what representation is about. This means a lot to me as a black person to see elle, and tara and just the overall representation. I love every single moment of this series. The way they incorporated from the cast to the production was perfect. They did an amazing and beautiful Job. I hope we get a second season.

The transition of feeling so alone whist being apart of quite a few minorities, and suddenly seeing everything you've experienced and fought to explain laid out for others to learn and for you to relate is the best feeling in the whole world.

This wasn't just a show it was a work of art. So much effort so much love was put into it.

all the crew hugging each other after their last shot literally makes me tear up a little bit, gosh this is so beautiful

"i didnt have the chance to see it, two boys having fun at school and showing it was a possibility. if u cant see that growing up, you'd think u wouldnt havent" i'm 22 years old, now at the university, I would have loved to have a show like this that shows other realities, I enjoyed it now, I cried and loved it, thanks to you for this

alice oseman and the whole team have my entire heart. i'm 20 and even if that's not a huge difference from teen years, this sort of representation lacked when i was growing up. just so thankful for this story to be brought to life in such a beautiful way. season 2, i can't wait for you...

2:53 this part had me sobbing. I can't believe how far we've come in positive queer representation and I just feel so grateful to have a show like heartstopper to be my sense of hope and the idea of it all being okay. This is something I won't ever forget :')

This show genuinely means the world to me. As a young bisexual person I relate to Nick so much, and this show has helped me feel more comfortable in my identity and who I am as a person. I’ve never felt represented in the way I felt watching heartstopper for the first time, they truly take the time to show what it can be like figuring out your sexuality and coming to terms with that and I think that’s pretty special, let’s hope for many more seasons down the line!

The show is so authentic, I often feel like I'm invading people's privacy & I blush! Kit is Nick........Joe is Char.....Yasmin is Elie.....Sabation is Ben...Corinna is Tara Olivia is Nicks Mom & should be EVERYONES MOM! Kizzy is Darcy...William is Tao..+ We are Witness to the beginning of a New & Better World. Thank To HEARTSTOPPER! Et al

the whole vibe of the show is just a big hug. i can't stop watching heartstopper-related content 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Them saying the importance of showing that two gay kids can grow up simply having a good time in media shows all the kids watching they can have that, is so amazing! Growing up with tv and movies always showing the queer characters as comedic relief or single, or drowned in trauma and tragedy made it so difficult to accept being queer and made it easy to accept any kind of love we got because we truly were never told or shown we deserved more or better. This show makes me cry so much realizing the young generations don't have to go through that and hopefully this inspires more tv and movies of just happy sweet fun queer stories full of diversity and representation.... thank you everyone for this amazing show!!

PLEASE DON'T STOP PUTTING OUT HEARTSTOPPER CONTENT! Living for every piece of content!!

my new comfort show. so greatful for netflix, for making it a show. and especially alice, for all the hardwork she put in.

patiently and hopefully waiting for a 2nd season of this incredible series

Ahhhh the cast is absolutely adorable!! When they all do short shots at 0:32, you can see how similar they are to their characters :))

I’ve never felt more seen than I have with Heartstopper. Thank you, Alice 🍂

What I loved most about this adaptation is that every depiction of love was celebrated with joy, and I think that’s so so important for kids today to see. As much as we need to educate everyone about the hardships and realities the lgbtq+ community faces, it’s also important to show that at the end of the day, love is love, we all deserve it, and every form of it needs to be respected, appreciated, and celebrated. Thank you to everyone who worked so tirelessly on this, but especially to Alice Oseman for the privilege of letting us be part of Nick and Charlie’s journey. I can’t wait for more

This series has set our standard that love is not something we should beg. Love is something we deserved 💕 I will never be so grateful to all of the people who made this show possible. Thanks for giving us what representation in media really is. Thank you for showing us that we can see ourselves in a tv show. Thank you for abolishing stereotypes of how queer community is sometimes presented 💕 You guys deserved all the great things to come.

No doubts this is THE BEST LGBTQ show ever made, netflix take notes, if you want to keep opening gates for our community, THIS is exactly what we want, need and deserve! Small details really matter, I'm so happy Heartstopper came to life to help a lot of people :') Keep more and more seasons coming! ♥︎

Yo istg if they don’t renew this for another season I’ll personally sue netflix for causing emotional damage. THATS HOW MUCH I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW.

This was truly *the most accurate* book to screen adaptation I've seen in my entire life! They literally took exact dialogue from the book and inputted nearly all of it into the show, which you rarely ever see. Netflix is definitely renewing this for a 2nd season - they're just teasing us so that when the news is finally released, we rejoice that much more lol!!

I can’t express or even begin to describe how much this show affected me and the multiple amount of emotions felt throughout broke my heart more then it warranted💔 watched this 23 times since it’s release on Netflix last month and still continue to watch it now more so then ever🍂💙 Please please please renew for season 2 🍂🍂 Protect these shining stars at all cost ❤️

i lowkey cried when thinking just how amazingly open-minded people were involved in the production, we all focus on the cast, but its not only the cast, its so many people involved in the process that have made heartstopper such a relatable and beautiful coming-of-age show

The fact that I have already seen Heartstopper six times is not different from the reaction that this production has had in the whole queer community, but if I tell you that I am in Bogota; and that I am 67 y.o. This shows that it has affected far beyond the original target. I wish I had something remotely like this when I was growing up. In my case, it was at the movies that I realized I was gay in 1968 attending a function of Camelot when I fell head over hills with Franco Nero and his character, something that I keep as a secret for like ten more years, that is why I liked that scene where Nick and his mother are choosing a movie to see and Nick pass his eyes so slowly from Keira to Orlando, that scene that nobody has commented so far made me cry like for the thousand times when I first saw the series. Thank you to Netflix and everybody in the production; The Director, the author, the set designers, the creators of the doodles, the music, and the cast, especially to Kit and Joe.

This genuinely made me cry. I don’t usually cry when I’m talking abt being in the closet as a bisexual girl surrounded by homophobic people but watching this show and this video genuinely made me understand how much pain and how much sadness I hold in me. I teared up listening how and why they made this show. It really makes me happy when there’s a good lgbtq representation being shown to the public. This show made me feel even more proud than I was to be bisexual. Thank u Alice, Heartstopper team and the cast is also wonderful. Thank u all, u have no idea how much impact u have on this and even younger generations. Thank u so much. I’m definitely closer to coming out to my parents. Thank u!

Heartstopper is life changing. It will help to heal the trauma of millions. It will also help people who are questioning their sexuality or gender and help them to find themselves. Thank you to everyone involved! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Heartstopper has become my safe, happy place. You can see how much love it got from the people involved in it. Please renew it for a second season, the world needs more Heartstopper and we deserve the representation and the beauty of it. ❤

I'm an out & proud 55 year old queer cisman, who grew up in a strict, homophobic Mormon family in Los Angeles and was in high school during the 80s AIDS epidemic. Just like that film's LGBTQ consultant, I too was robbed of the experience of seeing LGBTQ love stories. I was sent to conversion therapy and programs where they taught us how to be straight... Play sports, ask out girls, etc. We were told that if we married a woman we'd be "cured". The whole thing was so abusive, that I suffered years of depression and was often suicidal. On top of that, my entire family shunned me, for 20 years now. They refuse to reconcile, but I don't want them back... I've found a family of friends who love me for me. ❤️ Because of all that trauma, his show has meant SO MUCH to me! I've watched it over & over & it feels so right. I still cry every time... Hell, I even cry just thinking about scenes from it! It helps me MOURN what I've lost & never had, but it's incredible beauty, art & love ALSO helps me HEAL with every viewing. It gives me hope for LGBTQ youth & also the possibility that I'll find my own Nick or Charlie. It will ALWAYS be a favorite program, and I'm SO grateful for Alice, Euros, Kit, Joe, Olivia and ALL the rest of the outstanding cast, dedicated crew & Netflix for bringing me something I never knew I needed, but has meant SO MUCH to me! (and seriously, Kit Connor deserves an Emmy!) Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 ♥️💚💙💛💜

i’m actually crying rn. the way that this show is so authentically queer. from the actors themselves to the camera crew, the whole crew. it makes me so happy to see.

just wanted to commend the color grading of this BTS video??? like wow this is a work of art in itself??? anyways stream heartstopper x

Heartstopper is definitely one of the most beautiful visual experiences I have been able to appreciate in my life and as much as I keep repeating to watch the whole series I can't get enough of it, every scene is satisfying, beautiful and you can feel that connection with each character and it makes you love them instantly ❤️

When even the making of gives you visceral emotional response….you know you’ve seen something truly special. Thank you for introducing me to the world of Heartstopper and Alice Oseman’s works.

Oh boy, i promissed myself i would stop crying for heartstopper but this made so emotional i just couldnt.

i love this show so much, nick especially really stood out for me as a bisexual person who has known about my sexuality since elementary school, i never had bi representation like this and it made me so emotional to see his journey in such a healthy and accepting way. props to all the cast and crew for bringing to life such a beautiful story.

im literally in love with this show. like i've watched the entire season almost every day for the past week. i am NOT okay

I've seen heartstopper five times in the last week, and I'm confident that I'll keep watching it whenever I have free time. This was the first series about which I became hooked, which is unusual for me because I've never preferred series' to movies. For the past 15 years, I've assumed I'm straight, but watching Heartstopper has me torn about my sexuality, especially because of Nick Nelson; I'm not sure if I want to be friends with him, be with him, or BE HIM. Something about Nick's coming out scene makes me feel strangely relieved, as if I completely relate to him questioning if he's bi. I'm not sure why I'm venting in a public comment section, but I'm grateful for this series, and who knows, maybe in a few years I'll realize that I really am bi. Enough with the drama, I'm hoping for a Season 2, I've already finished the webtoon in one sitting and listened to Alice Oseman's other works!

I just love how deep they went. While watching Heartstopper, I felt like I was represented and even more important the vibe the show had made me feel like I was in a safe space. I read the books before the show came out, and while reading it I was always so excited and loved each part of them, and with the show I felt the same excitement. The amount of detail that the show has, just make me feel so good. Loved the show🥺💖🌈

Great team behind the camera really brought this show to life!

Please please PLEASE make a Season 2!!!!

Is wonderful, They made a wonderful story, an incredible adaptation, the whole team worked excellently, without a doubt you can see how perfect everything was.

Watching this made me so emotional. A show about LGBTQ+ people made by LGBTQ+ people is one of Netlix's highest rated shows ever. It's very bittersweet for me because being a 31 year old gay man, I didn't have this kind of representation on-screen growing up. To see such a positive, uplifting show about two boys falling in love, and one coming to terms with his sexuality makes me so happy that young LGBTQ+ people are starting to get more and more representation. Such a wonderful show.

Will forever be my favorite show, it brings me so much inner joy and peace. Thank you everyone!

2:26 THE CUTEST THING I'VE SEEN TODAY

No wonder anyone can love this show. It’s created with love. As a romantic I enjoyed this so much! Can’t wait for season two.

I’m just happy that the LGBTQ+ representation in this production is beyond the casting, but the whole team itself and even hiring a LGBTQ+ consultant!! That’s why this feels very authentic and the storytelling was very natural❤️❤️ pls renew this series😭

The reason why I love heartstopper so much is because I can truly relate to their story (especially Nick's side), this show really gave me joy and hope into discovering myself more and being free to who I truly am. I hope this gets a season 2 bec I've read Alice's books, volumes 4 & 5, and it tackles issues people can relate to

what a delight of series, I'm extremely passionate and obsessed.

The production of this show is phenomenal. I didn't expect so many members of the cast to be LGBTQ+ or for them to have a consultant, but I'm so glad they did it the way they did. It means a lot. :)

Crying 😭 I miss these gorgeous people so much! 🥺🥰

Reading all the comments on here made me tear up, it shows how more show with representation is needed and wanted. I hope to see more of these shows not only on Netflix but more mainstream.

They did an incredible job, from the actors, producers, writers, directors and even Alice herself. I am so surprised. Heartstopper is one of the best Netflix adaptations by far, congratulations everyone, you did a great job.

I cannot be the only one who is obsessed with this show. It’s heartwarming, made me laugh, made me cry, and honestly something that was finally relatable and I’m so grateful for the show.

I don't think I've ever cried during a making of before. Thank you

I tear up everytime I'm reminded what this show is representing. Such a beautiful show.

I feel so privilege to watch Heartstopper! Imagine what would happen to me in my younger self seeing this show and to embrace as well as accepting myself. Thank you Heartstopper crew and actors who give justice to our representation. A lot of queer kids will be save if they see this show

"if you can't see that when you're growing up you don't think you can have it" this hits a lot

As much as we love the cast and Alice we really need to appreciate the other people behind this show for giving us one of the best series for the LGBTQ+ community. .

As a graphic novel reader, the show still amazes me until this very moment. It amazes me how well-adapted the book is, how well-translated each element from the book is. The depiction is just very well-pictured, the cast are AMAZINGLY on point, everything is perfect! I'm on my 4th time rewatching the series and it just doesn't get old. It's such a grower, the more I watch it, the more I love it. Thank you for making this series ❤️❤️❤️

WOULD LOVE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THE SHOW, IT'S DEFINITELY AN AMAZING SHOW!! I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW AND THE BOOKS!! ❤❤❤❤

Watching this made me almost as emotional as the show itself. I wonder if something like this had been available to me as a teen in the early nineties, maybe I wouldn't have waited to come out until I was nearly forty. This show and all of the beautiful people involved has begun to heal me in ways I didn't know were possible.

They went for perfection and they did it. Thank you all involved. Thank you Netflix.

I’m obsessed

EU NÃO ACREDITO QUE EU TO CHORANDO COM ISSO! Essa serie é tão importante pra mim, as HQs são tão importantes... eu só posso agradecer a Alice Oseman e a Netflix por trazer uma historia tão positiva e genuína para nossas vidas. Muito obrigado muito obrigado muito obrigado!!!

The ripples Alice’s Story has made through this show for not only newer generations but also the immense and powerful healing it has brought to past ones is such a gift!!! Plus to see that the shows creation was made with such care and sensitivity with lgbtqia+ creators, artists, directors, etc. voice’s to be heard through it??? Just blows my mind and is so so sooo beautiful and healing to see! 🌈💚✨

I love that not only many in the cast but also many in the crew are part of the community. It looks like they are so excited because a dream came true for all of them through this story and it makes my heart jump happily

everyone worked so hard for this and i’m extremely proud of everyone !!! this show brings so much comfort to me and many other people and i’m so glad we were able to watch this masterpiece, i’m still hoping we get a season 2

I need season 2!!!

“If you don’t see that, you don’t think you can have it.” Yep. My teenage years described perfectly.

literally living for these

You can tell this show was made with so much love and care! ❤

If this doesn't get a second (and third and fourth) season we riot

I can’t even express how deeply i have been touched by this show. I did not get the chance to grow up like this. Watching this show in my 30-s and realizing that brought up so many emotions. I cried about 20 times…

you can really tell that this was a passion project for everyone involved 💛 it is so lovely!

This is story is so sweet and sometimes feels surreal, this is what a wanted when I was a teen. Thank you for doing this, we need season two :D

this show is so wholesome, 100% comfort and i love it

I teared up at the end. I am so grateful, so, so grateful that the newer generation gets to see themselves on screen. To not feel like their love should be hidden or ashamed of. It brings me incredible hope for tomorrow. At the same time, those tears were a bit bitter and sad. I wish I had this, I wish the boy I was had seen this and felt safe. Felt seen. Either way, a big thanks to the cast & crew for creating such an amazing piece of media & art honestly. Thanks.

This show with a lots of amazing people involved is one of the show i'd be watching in my entire life again and again. This show is my comfort zone, home when i comeback from reality, and successfully make me less hate my self and hate my life. Thank you so much❤️

So impressed that even though they had an LGBTQ+ director and staff, they still went out of their way to hire a knowledgeable LGBTQ+ consultant

This made me cry, I’m just so thankful for everyone involved in this show and especially Alice Oseman for creating these characters, I feel seen because of you

I cried through this whole video. I love this show so much, and knowing that they made a concious choice in the people who were involved in the making of this (not just the actors, but everyone) truly makes the show even more special. I love feeling represented like this. Thank you Heartstopper

I'm crying....Heartstopper and everything surrounding it is actually my reason to live lately. Sounds silly but I'm not kidding. I am so happy ♥️ I'm so thankful for all the work that went into this show. Thank you Heartstopper crew and Heartstopper cast!

that's why this show was so good because they have LGBT people talking and showing the LGBT situation from the viewpoint of someone that pass through that situation, therefore, we all relate with the characters and their stories

there is nothing else to say.. I LOVE THIS SHOW ❤️❤️ I’m so obsessed 😍

The fact that I have watched the series so many times and cried over and over and over again means that the characters have done a wonderful job with so much love that it goes beyond television and touches our hearts. this is a series well done!

thank u alice for this beautiful show and thank u to the cast and crew as well for making it come to life

Magical cast and crew. Thank you for creating the mesmerising series that brings joy and colours to so many people around the world. 🌈💕🇦🇺🇹🇼

Still can't believe that so much brilliance fits into 4 hours

This series is literally a piece of art. How they make every member of the LGBTQ+ community feel valid, important and show it as naturally as it should be, I'm happy to grow up with a heartstopper.

YES

the cast is amazing but i really just want to brag about how well kit connor portrayed nick nelson and his journey about how confusing it is to figure your sexuality out is just spot on i felt it so hard his acting really just stood out to to me, so much emotion to his facial expressions to the way he would express himself in the show soo natural and authentic you could tell he had experience, i wish this man well he is seriously talented!! :))
