Accompanying the premiere date announcement was a sneak peek behind the scenes of Season 3, showcasing the cast filming scenes at a fair.  

The actors also teased what’s in store for their characters in the upcoming season. Kit Connor, who plays Nick, hinted at a steamier dynamic between Nick and Charlie, portrayed by Kedar Williams-Stirling, suggesting that fans are in for an exciting and emotional journey as the season progresses toward its finale.
