THE Heartstopper actor has introduced his stunning departure from the present as sequence 2 hits Netflix.
The star has revealed why his character will not be returning for the third season.
The present’s creator, Alice Oseman has confirmed that Ben (Sebastian Croft) will not be making a comeback to the Netflix sequence.
The ending of season 2 noticed Ben present up on the Lambert LGBT artwork present, the place he instructed Charlie (Joe Locke) that he was saying goodbye Truham.
Charlie then explains intimately how his relationship with Ben had affected him after Ben expressed his remorse for a way he handled him.
Alice mentioned: “Ben’s function in Heartstopper is now full.”
She continued: “As season 2 begins to unpack the trauma that Charlie carries with him on account of his poisonous relationship with Ben and the bullying he has confronted prior to now, I felt Ben’s presence was essential to handle these matters correctly.”
The producer continued by saying that they believed giving the character within the sequence a type of redemption narrative would have been “needlessly merciless.”
Ben didn’t seem in any additional volumes of Heartstopper, subsequently he already had a bigger function within the sequence than he did within the preliminary Heartstopper comics.
Whereas season 2 of the present was being filmed in November 2022, Sebastian mirrored on the departure of his character.
He admitted: “I felt passionately about him not having a redemption arc, and Alice felt the identical manner.
Heartstopper season 2 is now accessible to stream on Netflix.Â
