Joe Locke has teased some juicy details about the upcoming third season of Heartstopper, and by the sounds of it things between Charlie and Nick are heating up.

In an interview with Variety, the 20-year-old actor – who appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone UK’s August/September issue  – spoke about how the previously squeaky clean Netflix hit would address more adult themes when it returns in October.
