You probably remember Heartbreak High, the 90s television phenomenon, if you’re over 30. And if you don’t, you’ll soon enough realize it. Heartbreak High gave its youthful viewers in the 1990s a glimpse into the difficulties and problems youths frequently faced and were depicted onscreen. The storyline bravely explores drug addiction, sex, teenage pregnancy, and crime.
These days shows like Euphoria and Skins before it has established new standards for frank, upsetting teen narrative. Heartbreak High has returned to finish the job it began.
With an entirely new cast that is young and highly skilled, Netflix has revived the classic series. The varied cast, slated for release in September 2022, will not only tell a brand-new tale but also accurately depict Australia, with LGBTQ, non-binary, and Indigenous characters providing much-needed representation of underrepresented groups on mainstream television.
Heartbreak High Cast
Hartley High’s classes have resumed, and filming for the Netflix revival of the acclaimed Australian young adult series Heartbreak High has begun in Sydney.
Heartbreak High, an eight-episode television series that draws inspiration from the original ’90s series but has been completely recreated for a modern audience, will make its global debut on Netflix in 2022.
A revelation turns AMERIE into an outcast at Hartley High and sparks an enigmatic, very visible feud with her ride-or-die HARPER. While juggling love, s*x, and heartbreak, AMERIE must rebuild her reputation with the help of her new friends, outsiders QUINN and DARREN.
Release Date
Nothing screams Australian 90s nostalgia like a Heartbreak High replay. Dear reader, there is no answer. The massively popular teen drama, which debuted in 1994 and ran for nine years with more than 200 episodes, gave young people growing up in the pre-millennium decade with coming-of-age content.
The program pushed limits in the Australian film and television industry by delving into then-taboo subjects like sexuality, teen pregnancies, and drug use. As a result, the conversation was opened up for better, less judgemental discussions.
Heartbreak High will be released on 14th Sept 2022.
