Netflix has confirmed that its popular Australian teen drama Heartbreak High has been renewed for a third and final series.
The series is a contemporary update of the iconic ’90s show and last month the show’s second season achieved a whopping 2.3 million views in its premiere week.
However, on Friday, a Netflix representative said that while the show would return for a third season, it would be the last.
“Renewing Heartbreak High for its final season is a huge source of pride for us at Netflix,” said ANZ chief content officer Que Minh Luu.
‘It’s been a pleasure to work with the absolutely skilled creative minds behind our favorite Australian young adult show and bring our stories, culture and inside jokes to all the fans here at home and around the world. Now we’ll see what happens next!’

The second season of Netflix’s reboot of Heartbreak High launched in April and quickly became one of the top ten most-watched shows in the world.
Shortly after its release in 2022, it was the most-watched show in Australia and seventh on the global list of the top 10 English-language television shows.
It also jumped into the top ten most watched shows in over 24 countries, including the UK and France.
The series is a contemporary update of the iconic 90s show and last month the second series of the show achieved a whopping 2.3 million views in its premiere week.
The second season of Heartbreak High is an eight-episode limited series and follows the main characters as they continue their studies at Hartley High.
In October 2022, Netflix confirmed that the show would have a second season after the first was a huge hit with viewers.
The reboot of the popular ’90s TV series of the same name reached a whopping 42.2 million hours of viewing in just three weeks.
On Friday, a Netflix representative said that while the show would return for a third season, it would be the last.
While its popularity in Australia was expected, Netflix bosses were apparently surprised when it reached the top ten in more than 40 countries around the world.
The original Heartbreak High (1994-1999) was set at the fictional Hartley High, with plots addressing racism, human rights, and other real-life issues.
It made household names among its stars, including Callan Mulvey, who played bad boy Bogdan Drazic, and Home and Away veteran Ada Nicodemou.
