Heartstopper is one of Netflix's most successful series. The story starring Kit Connor and Joe Locke conquered viewers since its arrival on the streaming platform in April 2022. With two seasons behind it, fans of one of the best fictions of recent years await the arrival of a new batch of episodes. However, the audience will have to face the absence of a key character. Last Thursday, March 28, Olivia Colman, the actress who plays Sarah Nelson, Nick's mother, announced that she will not be present in the next chapters due to scheduling problems. A sad news that the creators of Heartstopper have tried to solve in the best possible way.
"I couldn't do season 3, I couldn't fit it in, I feel horrible about it," the actress noted in an interview for Forbes. Colman affirms that she felt "that I was part of one of the most beautiful things I've ever been a part of". And, as you may recall, the actress starred in one of the most emotional scenes of the series. And it is none other than the moment in which Nick decides to open up to his mother about his bisexuality, something that was very applauded among the viewers for the way in which it is told.
Despite not appearing in the third season, Colman does not rule out returning in the fourth installment. Of course, "as long as it is cool in advance, I might be able to do it". The presence of the actress in the future of the hit series will be one of the concerns of viewers, although now for the moment they are wondering what will happen to the character given that she is a key piece of the Heartstopper story.
