series “Heatstopper” tells the story of two British teenagers, Nick and Charlie, who navigate their friendship as their feelings turn romantic.
Patrick Walters, head of development at production company See-Saw, first came across the queer comic in 2018 when Oseman launched a Kickstarter campaign from her bedroom to turn the series into a graphic novel, and immediately knew it was crying out for an on-screen adaptation. Four years and one pandemic later, “Heartstopper” will drop on Netflix on Friday, April 22. Walters sat down withCongratulations on the imminent launch! How are you feeling about it?
I’m really excited. We did a content day with the cast last week so I saw them all again and I spent time with Alice and everyone’s just so excited. And because they’re so young, it’s really nice being around that energy, where it’s like, the rest of their lives are about to begin. It’s very sweet.I read the first volume of the graphic novel at the tail end of 2018, just before it was about to be launched by Hachette as a published graphic novel, it was a webcomic.
I think there was a kind of magic in it, where Alice has the power to draw characters’ faces, and the emotions that are going through them in a very expressive and beautiful way. So I immediately identified with the lead character, Charlie, because his anxieties are writ large on his face in the drawings. So you can absolutely imagine how an actor might bring that to life and tell that story and make you feel something really extraordinary and give you goosebumps.
