“They asked if I wanted to try writing the show,” recalls Oseman. In 2019, Hachette published the first of several volumes of the comic, and the same year, Heartstopper was optioned by See-Saw Films to be developed as a TV series. In 2018, Oseman opened a Kickstarter to self-publish a limited number of physical copies and raised $25,223 in just 24 hours. Their story resonated with millions of fans.
Eventually, their bond turns romantic, and they stick by each other’s side as they cope with coming out, issues within their friend groups and bullying.
They start texting, confiding in one another about pressures at school, and Nick even convinces Charlie to join the rugby team. The premise of Heartstopper is delightfully straightforward: Charlie, a neurotic, soft-spoken openly gay high school student, forms an unlikely friendship with Nick, a popular, gentle and - he assumes - straight athlete.
