Heartstoppers recently returned for Season 3, and now all eyes are on Season 4, which in everyone’s eyes is the final season. So, what are the ratings for Heartstoppers? And will Netflix renew it? Officially, Netflix is still keeping its future a secret as of October 22, 2024. However, I’m expecting a final season renewal or some kind of wrap-up. Here’s what we know, starting with what showrunner Alice Osman said on the record.
Oddly enough, Netflix TUDUM (Netflix’s official fansite) didn’t answer the question, instead going so far as to post a clickbait post titled “Will there be a Heartstopper Season 4” with Alice Ozman talking about the possibility of a season 4? I did it. Ozman said the same thing. Just as they have said to other broadcasters: “As much as I and others do, we want the final episode to hit our screens as soon as possible. There are moving parts to consider. It’s hard to pin anything down because there are so many. But we’re doing our best and will let our fans know as soon as possible.” “I hope the viewers of the show find that I’m very open and honest about who I am.” So, of course, I’ll share anything I can, but that’s all I have for now. ”
Elsewhere, we’ve put together a separate rundown of what Osman has said about Season 4 (in the press and on social media) and what you can expect here. Of course, Osman has said that season 4 would be the final season if renewed, writing on Patreon earlier this year: Based on Charlie’s novella. I very much hope there is a season 4 and the show has a proper ending! I pray to God! I’m on my knees begging! I have regular nightmares about it! ”

How well is Season 3 of Heartstoppers doing so far? Will Heartstoppers be renewed?
Renewal forecast
Looking forward to renewal
We’re currently hoping for a season 4 renewal as of week 3, when the show is on the charts, but keep in mind it will be a final season or some kind of exposition movie or some form of wrap-up . That said, given its performance so far, the show will have some luck getting final approval.
The reason for this is that viewer numbers have been decreasing each season, with Season 3 seeing a significant 42% drop in viewing time in the second week, and by the third week, when it should have had 2 million views. Because it never made it into the top 10 charts. To qualify.
Weeks in Top 10 Weekly Period Views / CVE Weekly Rank 1 September 29, 2024 to October 6, 2024 21,300,000 (New) 4,500,000 4 2 October 6, 2024 to October 13, 2024 12,400,000 (-42%) 2,600,000 7
Let’s compare their performance with past seasons.
Plotting viewership by week, we see that Season 3 kept the same pace as the first two seasons in Weeks 1 and 2, but started to drop significantly in Week 3. Masu. This suggests that die-hard fans are bingeing on the series early on, but it turns out that’s not actually the case. It’s not like the show gained a lot of new viewers.
We also see that Heartstopper lacks the power to use external tools. This is perhaps most evident in Google Trends, where interest dropped significantly between Seasons 1 and 2, and continues to do so in Season 3, to a lesser extent.

Moving on to FlixPatrol, which measures the daily top 10 in over 90 countries, within two weeks of its release on Netflix, season 3 dropped out of the daily top 10 in every region, as opposed to season 2, which lasted for three years. You can see that it is true. A few weeks before dropping out.
It’s over now. Do you think Netflix should renew Heartstoppers for a final season? Let us know in the comments.
