The second season of Heartstopper is bolder and braver than the first, and fans may expect significant changes.
We’ve liked following Tao Xu, portrayed by William Gao, and his budding romance with Yasmin Finney’s character Elle Argent since the drama debuted on Netflix, although fans were occasionally distracted by their haircut during some of the moments.
The 20-year-old wore his hair in a haircut with a sweeping fringe that framed his features.
The daring choice split people, and series creator Alice Oseman took notice of the remarks and chose to address them.
‘When writing both the comic and the show, I try to focus on my own vision for the story and not give too much weight to the expectations of the readers and viewers,’ she explained.
Of course, Alice, 28, is just human, and some of the online conversation got into her head.

‘But, of course, as a very online person, I read a lot of opinions about Heartstopper, and it’s impossible to stop that having some impact on my thought process when plotting the show.’
She continued: ‘It’s sometimes helpful – for example, hearing that people absolutely hated Tao’s hair. I do like to know what people want to see in the show!’
Tao and Elle take the next step in their flirty relationship in the latest teaser, and the former gets a haircut.
Tao directly addresses the change in his appearance during the teaser.
He tells Ellie: ‘My mum’s been moaning at me to get a haircut.’ In an attempt to show her romantic feelings for Tao, Ellie twirls his hair around her fingers and says: ‘It’s cute long’.
It seems mum knows best though as in a future clip the hair has been cut off.
The fresh new look has already got the approval of many fans.
