Sweetpea season 2, starring Ella Purnell, has cast big names from Heartstopper and Overcompensating

Here’s everything else we know so far about Sweetpea season 2.

Sweetpea season 2 plot

A synopsis for the new season reads: “Killer wallflower Rhiannon Lewis is back in season 2 of the iconically brazen and darkly comic thriller. Navigating a new promotion, an irresistible rebound, Marina still hot on her trail, her sister selling her family home and a copycat killer threatening to expose her, the kill list is mounting. But now that she’s harnessed her rage and found her power, Rhiannon is forced to question whether her perfect ex AJ, was right: is she a monster?”
