Heartbreak High is coming back! For one last semester, school is in session with our favorite band of lovable, messy, chaotic Australian teens. In the trailer for the upcoming third and final season, it seems best friends Amerie and Harper and their little gaggle of pals have their senior skip day and pull a prank that goes awry.
In the trailer, we see glimpses of queer, autistic Quinni (Chloe Hayden), First Nations bisexual Missy (Sherry-Lee Watson), Chinese-Australian lesbian Sasha (Gemma Chua-Tran), and non-binary queer Darren, among the rest of the eclectic group. We hear Quinni say, “I thought I found a girl who actually got me,” which makes me nervous; I’m not ready to watch that sweet girl go through any more heartbreak! There’s also another part where a student runs in and announces, “Two girls just got caught muff diving in the sensory room,” which is a hilarious sentence and it will be interesting to find out what that’s all about.
The show’s first seasons were fun and hilarious, while also being stressful and emotional, following in the footsteps of other teen soaps before it like Degrassi, Skins, and even the original 90s version of Heartbreak High. It’s less wholesome than Heartstopper, but has similar vibes in that it’s a mostly queer group of friends trying to survive high school alongside everything else life throws at them during one of the most emotional and precarious times in a person’s life.
The final bell rings on March 25 on Netflix, see you in class!
