Fans are going crazy about Heartstopper &#039;s collaboration with Squid Game at the BAFTA where Joe Locke made an appearance.

&#8216;Heartstopper&#8217; and &#8216;Squid Game&#8217; Come Together to Surprise the World With a Special Collaboration at BAFTA

After the whirlwind Squid Game created, Heartstopper was one of the other shows
that matched its hype for the fans. While Squid Game got a nomination in the
International series genre at BAFTA, Heartstopper is anticipated to bag
nominations at the next BAFTA and maybe even win. The hype heightened when the
two most popular shows announced a collaboration on Twitter.

Fan hearts anyway stop when they see their beloved Charlie doing anything out in
public. And now that he was seen in their other favorite attire, they can’t stop
talking about it.

Joe wore a Squid Game-inspired tuxedo neatly paired with shiny shoes and the
prettiest bow-tie ever! He entered the carpet with three Squid Game guards by
his side, as if they were protecting him. Joe’s heart-shaped bow tie matched
perfectly with the neons in guards’s masks. The ‘collection’ seems like a
merchandise collection of things, and Joe’s outfit, a perfect merger of cutesie
things from Heartstopper and the bright bolds of Squid Game, was a testament to
it.


HOW DID FANS TAKE IN THE COLLABORATION ANNOUNCEMENT?

Fan reactions were as priceless as Joe’s look. A lot of them weren’t too
thrilled, for two completely different genres merging was a gimmick to them.
Here are some of the comments.

This was a screenshot from Heartstopper
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/heartstopper] that fans used to imply Charlie’s
death in Squid Game. Fans were concerned about their sweet boy Charlie, who had
a whole journey with his sexuality, to be joining something as scary as Squid
Game. Joe’s character is too soft to be going through with the horrendous
challenges of Squid Game, especially after the hardships he faced before.

Fans envious of Nick and Charlie’s love too couldn’t justify the latter’s entry
in the Korean drama.

While some of them were strictly against it, others thought it was the bestest
news to break.

This comes not long after Squid Game [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/squid-game]
hinted at the Season 2 release date
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-squid-game-twitter-handle-hints-at-season-2-release-month-its-gonna-be/].
Fans thought of this as a trick to attract audiences by collaborating with their
recent favorites. Even though Squid Game doesn’t really need any publicity,
could it be their way of creating a hype before they announce official dates for
season 2 of both the shows?

Time and Netflix [https://netflix.com] will answer.
