Heartstopper’s set decorator shares moving statement after leaving show: ‘A part of queer history’

Heartstopper set decorator Maxwell Fine has announced his departure from Netflix’s smash-hit LGBTQ+ drama in a moving message to fans.

Keeping the same tight-knit team from the graphic novels through to the TV adaptation, the crew behind Netflix’s Heartstopper have been key to fans’ enjoyment of their favourite moments. 

Season two of the smash-hit adaptation of Alice Oseman’s beloved graphic novels has already been a huge hit with fans, and the wait is officially on to find out what happens to Nick and Charlie across seasons three and four. 

Viewers been particularly struck by how poignant season two is, after Oseman revealed that it would be “darker” and “more mature” – and have shared their admiration for how the second season looks, with some going as far as to say that certain scenes might be “award-winning.” 

In a heartfelt message to fans on Sunday (13 August), set decorator Fine shared that he would be leaving the show after what he described as “the greatest two years of my career”.



Don’t cry because it’s over, smile
because it happened! Signing off for now, thank you for the greatest two years of my career. Onwards we charge!
