Heartbreak High returns for a third and final season

The series, a reboot of the Network Ten/ABC show which ran from 1994 to 1999, has been popular among local and international audiences with the second season debuting at number one in Australia.

Netflix director of Aussie and New Zealand content Que Minh Luu said "renewing Heartbreak High for its final season is a major point of pride" for the streaming service.

"It has been a joy to work with the utterly cooked creative minds behind our favourite Aussie [young adult] show and to bring our stories, our culture and our in-jokes to all the fans here at home and throughout the world. See you at muck up day," she said.

Heartbreak High is one of many major Australian shows, movies and documentaries for Netflix including Boy Swallows Universe, Run Rabbit Run, Wellmania, Surviving Summer, ONEFOUR: Against All Odds, Love is in the Air.

Fremantle Media head of scripted content Carly Heaton said she and the cast and crew were "grateful to have the opportunity to see what kind of mess evolves in season three".

"We aimed to create a show where Aussie young people are seen and heard and we are completely overwhelmed by the worldwide reaction to the stories of these characters," she said.
