‘Darren and Ca$h are endgame’: Heartbreak High stars share season 3 hopes
Spoilers ahead for Heartbreak High season 2.
Spoilers ahead for Heartbreak High season 2.
James Majoos and Will McDonald are hoping for some “stability” for their beloved Heartbreak High couple in an unconfirmed (hurry up Netflix!) third season.
The stars respectively play Darren Rivers and Douglas “Ca$h” Pigott on the Australian teen drama, which follows the students of Hartley High as they navigate various issues surrounding sexuality, identity, race, consent, assault and – duh – teen angst.
A soft-reboot of the trailblazing 1994 series of the same name, Heartbreak High made its debut in 2022 before embarking on a short hiatus, returning for its long-awaited second season in April 2024.
Season two sees the return of all the beloved Hartley High students as they embark on another turbulent semester, from Amerie (Ayesha Madon) investigating the identity of a mystery stalker to Malakai (Thomas Weatherall) exploring his bisexuality, and Quinni (Chloé Hayden) continuing to navigate the world as a neurotypical person.
It was – in the words of McDonald – a “tumultuous” season for Darren and Ca$h, both as a couple and individually, with the latter completing his jail sentence for his involvement in Harper’s (Asher Yasbincek) sexual assault by Chook (Tom Wilson) and his crew.
