What grades are Nick and Charlie at in Heartstopper, season 2? HITC explains.
Young love has been at the center of many titles in both film and television for decades, and it’s never going to fall out of favor with audiences because it’s such a universal experience to explore, whether it stems from your past or present. Heartstopper is an adaptation of Alice Oseman’s graphic novel books and webcomic of the same name, which follows the blossoming romance shared between Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor). It’s a British series, meaning that some details may serve to alienate US audiences. We’re here to help though, asking a prevalent question making the rounds: What is the grade of Nick and Charlie on Heartstopper 2?
What grade are Nick and Charlie in Heartstopper season 2?
Nick was in UK year 11, which is equivalent to 10th grade, when the events from Heartstopper Season 2 took place. Charlie is in the 9th grade.
Children in the UK begin their education with reception and nursery before moving on to year 1.
The US calls year one kindergarten. In the US, the first grade is referred to as year one when UK children reach the second grade.
In the US, grade 10 students are also called sophomores. Those in ninth grade are considered freshmen.
What age are Nick and Charlie?
In season 2, Nick and Charlie were 16 and 15 years old, respectively.
In real life, the actors who play Nick (Kit) and Charlie (Joe) are both 19 years old, making them quite a bit older than the characters they’re portraying.
This is a common occurrence in the media. Many actors play students who are not their own age.
‘Teenage relationships can be mature’
Joe sat down with Netflix Tudum to discuss the relationship between him and Kit’s character in season 2.
“They’re very much getting more comfortable with each other, [being] in each other’s space,” he began to Explaining the Differences.
“I’m excited for people to see that teenage relationships can be mature and open and communicative. There’s often this idea that teenage relationships aren’t those things.”
It’s good news for fans that Nick and Charlie will return to our screens soon.
Heartstopper 2 season is exclusively available on Netflix.
