There are several new characters in Heartstopper Season 2, expanding the world of the graphic novels further. From the likes of Stephane (Thibault de Montalebert) and David Nelson (Jack Barton) as Nick’s (Kit Connor) absent father and cruel older brother. There are new additions to the friend group with Sahar (Leila Khan) and to Elle’s (Yazmin Finney) group with Naomi (Bel Priestley) and Felix (Ash Self). Some of these are from Alice Oseman’s source material, and others are new creations for the show. But by far, the standout new character is Mr. Farouk (Nima Taleghani), who’s finally brought in from the graphic novels.
