Heartstopper: Here’s who Jonathan Bailey is playing in season 3
Jonathan Bailey is confirmed to appear in the forthcoming third season of Heartstopper. Alice Oseman, writer and creator of the Netflix series, announced on Thursday (25 April) that the Fellow Travelers star has joined the series alongside Hayley Atwell (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan).
According to Oseman, Marsan will play the “wise and straight-talking therapist” of Charlie (Joe Locke), while Atwell joins the family of Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) as his Aunt Diane.
She will take “Nick on a summer holiday to Menorca” and share “some tough advice to impart about his relationship”. In a cameo role, Bailey is set to play Jack Maddox, an “Instagram-famous classicist and celebrity crush of Charlie”. “It was an absolute joy to see Hayley, Eddie and Jonathan’s talent alongside our existing cast,” said Oseman, “and I can’t wait for the Heartstopper fans to meet these new characters.” The official synopsis for season three reads: “Charlie would like to tell Nick that he loves him.
Nick also has something important to say to Charlie. As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realize that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges. “As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and parties and start thinking about university choices, everyone must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn’t go to plan.” Season three will also see the return of Yasmin Finney as Elle, William Gao as Tao, Corinna Brown as Tara, Kizzy Edgell as Darcy and Tobie Donovan as Isaac.
