In the latest episode of the ITV Pridecast, Liam McConkey and Jack Marshall catch up with Patrick Walters, the executive producer behind the highly successful Netflix series Heartstopper.

Walters, who has been a pivotal force at See-Saw Films which produces the series, has steered the show's first two seasons to critical acclaim. As anticipation builds for the next instalment, premiering in the autumn of this year, Walters shares an insight into his journey, the collaborative process to make Heartstopper, and the importance of representation in media.

Walters has been at the helm of Heartstopper since its inception. His collaboration with Alice Oseman, the creator of the graphic novels, which the series it’s based on, has been instrumental in translating the characters and their stories to the screen. It’s clear that Walters and Oseman have sought to stay true to the vision of the novels while bringing it to life in a way that resonates with so many audiences.

During the show Walters also shared insights into the casting process and the off-screen dynamics among the actors. He emphasised that, seeking those who not only fit the roles but also brought a sense of authenticity and passion to their performances has been essential to the success of the show. The chemistry seen on-screen is a reflection of the genuine friendships and camaraderie among the cast members, which he says has been wonderful to witness.

As we look forward to the third season, Walters provided a glimpse of what's to come. The new season will explore new dimensions of the characters' lives and relationships, diving deeper into their stories at a more mature part of their adolescent development. As we countdown to the new season, it's clear that Walters and his team remain committed to delivering a series that continues to inspire and entertain and show that LGBTQ+ content can be a huge hit.
