The show won in the following categories - Outstanding Teen Series, Outstanding Writing for Alice Oseman, Outstanding Casting for Daniel Edwards, Outstanding Lead Performance for Kit Connor and Outstanding Guest Performance for Olivia Colman.
Accepting Alice Oseman's award on her behalf, executive producer Patrick Walters said that she had given him a message to read out, which said: "Thank you so much to the Children's and Family Emmys for this award. Heartstopper was a team effort and I would like to thank the entire cast and crew for their hard work and for the passion for a story that is so precious to me. Creating Heartstopper is one of the greatest joys of my life and it means so much to know that so many people around the world have enjoyed it too."
The hit teen series debuted on Netflix in April of this year, and was swiftly renewed for not one, but two more seasons on the streamer. It was announced that filming had begun on season 2 in September, while it was further announced that the season had wrapped in December.
