The cast of Netflix’s hit show Heartstopper have become stars overnight, and it looks like they might be using their newfound star power to get better contracts.
The romantic comedy-drama has gained an impressive following after its breakout first season, and the second season has only continued to build on its success. It follows the story of Nick and Charlie as they navigate their blossoming relationship in an all-boys school.
According to a source, the cast were “all unknown when they landed their roles - they signed contracts worth next to nothing. No one knew if the show would be a hit and it was a low budget production.”
The contracts reportedly locked the cast in for three seasons if Heartstopper took off. During the pandemic, the cast were rewarded with a 5% wage increase, but the source said “even with the increase, they’re still being paid a fraction of what their star power now commands.”
Since then, Kit Connor, Yasmin Finney, and Joe Locke have gone on to take on other projects. Yasmin Finney, in particular, has become a breakout star, having already landed a role in Doctor Who. Joe Locke has been cast in Disney Plus’ upcoming TV series Agatha: Coven of Chaos, and Kit Connor has added two upcoming films to his already impressive acting CV.
Heartstopper continues to be a hit with viewers and the cast’s star power is only growing. Fans can now watch the show on Netflix and follow the cast’s journey as they take on new projects.
