’90s kids do I have some news for you. Prepare to be taken back in time, when life was a lot simpler and the Backstreet Boys were topping the charts. Netflix just recently revealed the cast of the rebooted Heartbreak High, and while there’s a definite lack of eyebrow piercings and gelled-up hair, we actually cannot wait to see the new gang of Hartley High on the small screen.
Production has already kicked off and filming for the show is currently taking place in Sydney. So who is starring in the reboot of Heartbreak High?
Taking to Twitter early in the morning, Netflix not only revealed the names of the actors and actresses starring in the eight-episode series but also a short summary of the plot.
“The eight-episode series will reimagine the well-loved classic for a new generation, following Amerie (Ayesha Madon) after she becomes a pariah at Hartley High and has a public rift with her ride-or-die Harper (Asher Yasbincek),” the plot reads.
“With the help of new friends Quinni (Chloe Hayden) and Darren (James Majoos), Amerie must repair her reputation, whilst navigating love, sex, and heartbreak along the way.”
Other local talents include Josh Heuston, Thomas Weatherall, Will McDonald, Gemma Chua-Tran, Rachel House, Chika Ikogwe, Sherry-Lee Watson, Bryn Chapman-Parish and Brodie Townsend.
Heartbreak High will be available to stream internationally on Netflix in 2022, so get ready for people around the world to add our Aussie lingo into their vocabularies.
