AFTER MAKING a splash around the world with its first season, Netflix's reboot of Heartbreak High was officially confirmed for a second season in October of 2022-and now, the release of that second season is in sight.
The original series, which aired throughout the '90s, was revisited and revamped for Netflix's reboot-to great effect. The show has been praised around the world for its authentically diverse representation of the teenage experience, spotlighting sexuality, gender, race, neurodiversity and more.
News of its revival therefore comes as no surprise: The show remained in the top 10 TV shows on Netflix in Australia for five weeks after its release, spending three weeks in the global top 10 TV shows on Netflix, and reaching top 10 in over 43 countries. On TikTok-amidst its target audience, the Gen Z set whose fashion stylings certainly influenced the show's-the hashtag #heartbreakhigh has amassed over 300 million views. The cast-among them, Ayesha Madon, Chlo Hayden and Josh Heuston-have amassed a following themselves.
Read on for everything we know so far-including the release date, trailer and the new cast members enrolling for season 2.
When will season 2 of Heartbreak High be released?
At long last, a release date is here for Heartbreak High season 2. Netflix announced on January 29 that the sophomore season will premiere globally on April 11.
Previously, on May 29, Netflix announced that production for season 2 was officially underway. Sharing a sweet video of the cast returning for the first table read of the series, the streamer wrote on Instagram, "Grab some celebratory hot chippies-Heartbreak High: Season 2 has officially started production!"

Heartbreak High Season 2 cast
Netflix has enrolled two new students for season 2 of Heartbreak High.
Sam Rechner-who got his big break in Steven Spielberg's biographical feature film, The Fabelmans-will join the class as Rowan Callaghan. Netflix describes Rowan as "an unassuming country boy with a dry wit and a passion for classic cinema who finds himself thrown headfirst into the chaos of Hartley High and a truly epic love triangle." While there's no word yet as to who else will be involved in said love triangle, we are already here for the quintessential high school drama of it all.
Rechner is joined by Deadloch's Kartanya Maynard, who's been cast as Zoe Clarke. The streamer says Zoe is "an opinionated celibacy advocate who, along with her gang of Puriteens, threatens to bring down the SLT class from within."
2023 Logie nominees Ayesha Madon (Amerie), Chlo Hayden (Quinni) and Thomas Weatherall (Malakai) are set to reprise their roles. James Majoos (Darren), Asher Yasbincek (Harper), Will McDonald (Ca$h), Gemma Chua-Tran (Sasha), Sherry-Lee Watson (Missy), Bryn Chapman Parish (Spider), Josh Heuston (Dusty), Brodie Townsend (Ant), Chika Ikogwe (Jojo Obah) and Rachel House (Principal Woods) will also return.
What is Heartbreak High about?
Season one of Netflix's Heartbreak High delved into the trials and tribulations of high school. The plot follows Amerie (Ayesha Madon), who is made an instant pariah at Hartley High after a discovery is made-and after a very public friendship break-up with bestie Harper (Asher Yasbincek). With her new friends, outsiders Quinni (Chlo Hayden) and Darren (James Majoos), Amerie has to repair her reputation while navigating the murky waters of love, sex and heartbreak.
Season 2 will continue to follow Hartley High's resident troubled teens-but there could be some unexpected plot points.
Thanks to the Zoe and Rowan's character descriptions, we do know a love triangle will be involved-as well as a possible takedown of the infamous SLT class.
The trailer indicates that this triangle will involve Malakai, Amerie and Rowan, with Malakai telling the newbie, "Amerie and I-we're not together but we're not not together." Classic situationship. It also appears something could be brewing between Ant and Harper.
The official logline notes: "The flies are buzzing, the ibis are raiding the bins, and the sun shines down on our favourite lowest ranking school in the district-Hartley High. Students stream through the gates and all our heroes are back for a second term-threesomes, chlamydia and burning cars a distant memory-it seems possible that everyone's done a bit of growing up over the Term 1 holidays"
