Netflix’s Heartbreak High to return for third and final season
Get ready, Australia – we’re heading back to Hartley High one more time.
Netflix has confirmed that Heartbreak High will return for a third and final season, however a release date is yet to be confirmed.
“She never got the letter – but now we get to see what happens next!” Netflix director of content ANZ, Que Minh Luu, said on Friday.
“Renewing Heartbreak High for its final season is a major point of pride for us at Netflix. It has been a joy to work with the utterly cooked creative minds behind our favourite Aussie YA show and to bring our stories, our culture and our in-jokes to all the fans here at home and throughout the world. See you at muck up day.”
The news comes after the huge success of the second season released just last month.
In less than a week after its premiere, season two had been watched 2.3 million times globally, making it the seventh most-watched English-language television show on Netflix, worldwide – as well as the top show in Australia, among Netflix users.
It also stayed on the Global Top 10 English TV Series list for three consecutive weeks.
“We are beyond excited to all come together again as we love existing in the craziness of Hartley High,” Carly Heaton, Fremantle head of scripted, said.
“We aimed to create a show where Aussie young people are seen and heard and we are completely overwhelmed by the worldwide reaction to the stories of these characters. All of us who work on the series are grateful to have the opportunity to see what kind of mess evolves in season three.”
