A new Netflix series starring a Manx actor will be released next week.

Joe Locke will star as Charlie Spring in 'Heartstopper' - the story of "an unlikely duo who meet in class and slowly form an unexpectedly close friendship".

The 18-year-old went to Ballakermeen High School and has performed in shows at the Gaiety Theatre.

TV Critic Scott Bryan says it's going to be 'an incredible bit of television':

The eight-part series, based on the webcomic by Alice Oseman, will be available to stream from 22 April.
