Sebastian Croft is “excited” for Heartstopper fans to watch his latest film How to Date Billy Walsh. The Prime Video rom-com stars the British actor and Bridgerton alum Charithra Chandran as Archie and Amelia, teenagers who have been inseparable besties since childhood.
Unbeknownst to Amelia, Archie is head-over-heels in love her. His plans to declare his feelings are thwarted with the arrival of Billy Walsh (Tanner Buchanan), a charming American transfer student who immediately catches Amelia’s eye.
How to Date Billy Walsh follows Archie in his attempts to keep Amelia and Billy apart, but – as the synopsis reads – he “ends up pushing them closer together and risks losing his best friend in the process”.
Croft memorably shot to fame in the first two seasons of Netflix’s lauded LGBTQIA+ teen series Heartstopper as Ben, the closeted and manipulative ex of Joe Locke’s lead Charlie.
