See-Saw Films liked it and optioned the television rights later that July.{{Cite web |last=White |first=Peter |date=20 January 2021 |title=Netflix Lands Adaptation Of YA Graphic Novel Heartstopper, Doctor Who{{'s}} Euros Lyn To Direct See-Saw-Produced Series |url=https://deadline.com/2021/01/hearstopper-netflix-alice-oseman-order-euros-lyn-1234676286 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301203342/https://deadline.com/2021/01/hearstopper-netflix-alice-oseman-order-euros-lyn-1234676286 |archive-date=1 March 2021 |access-date=23 April 2021 |website=Deadline Hollywood}}

In January 2021, it was revealed that Netflix had ordered Heartstopper as an eight-episode half-hour series. It was deemed the best platform by Oseman and Walters due to its global availability. Euros Lyn was enlisted as director and executive producer. He had not read the original source material and called the screenplay riveting.{{Cite web |date=3 May 2022 |title=Heartstopper Interview: Director Euros Lyn On Bringing Alice Oseman's Queer Story To Life |url=https://www.thegamer.com/heartstopper-interview-euros-lyn |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220503201907/https://www.thegamer.com/heartstopper-interview-euros-lyn |archive-date=3 May 2022 |access-date=17 May 2022 |website=TheGamer}} Netflix "Kids & Family Content" director Alexi Wheeler said that the story "deserves to be told" due to its relatability among the young demographic.

Diana Olifirova was enlisted as cinematographer. She was immediately presented with challenges in visually depicting "love and emotion and tenderness". Using two Arri Alexa Mini LFs with Canon K35 spherical lenses, she used hand-held cinematography to give the cast space and to achieve an effect that resembled the documentary genre. With production designer Tim Dickel, they conceived a light-hearted colour palette of orange, yellow, turquoise and a mix of pink and blue. Olifirova employed colour gel for the lighting, which she had previously done for We Are Lady Parts. The colours of the school building were controlled to not be overdone but, at the same time, to be vivid. The scenes during Harry's birthday party were filmed in the daytime, and thus, the production team had to shut the windows and use artificial lighting to resemble outdoor lights. Transitions between seasons were achieved through lens flares.{{Cite web |last=Pennington |first=Adrian |date=12 May 2022 |title=Behind The Scenes: Heartstopper |url=https://www.ibc.org/features/behind-the-scenes-heartstopper/8526.article |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220513061744/https://www.ibc.org/features/behind-the-scenes-heartstopper/8526.article |archive-date=13 May 2022 |access-date=17 May 2022 |website=IBC}}{{Cite web |date=2022-06-13 |title=Heartstopper DP Diana Olifrova on Split Screens, Shooting Intimate Scenes, and Her Camera & Lighting Package {{!}} Below the Line |url=https://www.btlnews.com/awards/heartstopper-dp-diana-olifrova-interview/ |access-date=2023-08-10 |language=en-US |archive-date=11 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230811045110/https://www.btlnews.com/awards/heartstopper-dp-diana-olifrova-interview/ |url-status=live}} The opening scene was achieved in two takes; in the first, the depth of field for Nick achieved through the Contrazoom was deemed overdone; they later managed to reshoot the scene to make it more minimalistic. As Tara and Darcy kiss in the third episode, Nick is bathed in bisexual lighting (pinks, purples and blues) symbolising him realising his sexuality; this was suggested to Olifirova by the series' creative team.{{Cite web |title=Yes, the Bisexual Lighting in Heartstopper Was Very Intentional |url=https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/heartstopper-bisexual-lighting |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220520141917/https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/heartstopper-bisexual-lighting |archive-date=20 May 2022 |access-date=20 May 2022 |website=Netflix Tudum}}

Production designer Tim Dickel worked with set decorator Maxwell Fine, who used his experience in past art lessons to create a realistic representation of British classrooms. Dickel, meanwhile, asked his friends to photograph their kids' rooms, creating a mood board, which was reviewed by the cast.{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Nicole |date=18 May 2022 |title=Designing the perfect on-screen teenage bedroom |url=https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/jgmwpp/designing-the-perfect-on-screen-teenage-bedroom |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220519200556/https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/jgmwpp/designing-the-perfect-on-screen-teenage-bedroom |archive-date=19 May 2022 |access-date=20 May 2022 |website=i-D}} Some of the set objects also changed as the characters progressed and grew. In the geography classroom, Nick's seat was located to have him in front of images of rocks; Fine correlated this with metamorphic rocks forming under pressure, symbolising Nick and Charlie's romantic development. Nick has his room littered with items representing his complicated life. Elle's room is "more refined" and artistic, Tao's room was designed to reflect his cinephilia and Tara's is awash with teddy bears per the screenplay. With respect to the source material, several set objects were given a hand-drawn style. Reflective of the characters, Charlie's room is wide and chaotic, while Nick's is tidier. Oseman drew murals to be depicted in the series; they were inspired by the works of Hokusai and Julian Opie.

Whereas the first season features a blue-yellow colour palette, the second season features pink-pistachio. Various decors in the series settings, notably Truham, were changed to complement the summer backdrop. Costume designer Adam Dee wanted the series to feature more casual clothing and made T-shirts for Nick and Charlie that resembled the cover of the novel's third volume. Elle also wears clothing mirroring Finney's Bohemian background. Tao's new haircut was inspired by Chow Mo-wan, the male main character of one of his favourite films, In the Mood for Love (2000), whose poster is also featured in his bedroom.{{Cite web |title=In the Mood for Love |url=https://www.criterion.com/films/198-in-the-mood-for-love |access-date=2023-08-05 |publisher=The Criterion Collection |quote=Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Su Li-Zhen (Maggie Cheung Man Yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. |archive-date=21 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230621150704/https://www.criterion.com/films/198-in-the-mood-for-love |url-status=live}} Production buyer Zoe Seiffert found a Fjällräven bag matching Charlie's bag in the novel. The art department also contributed to the similarities with the original source material. Donovan collaborated with Oseman in creating a new look for Isaac.

To pay homage to Tara and Darcy's kiss, Tao and Elle's kiss at the prom was filmed under ultraviolet lighting. Susnea painted the camera filters for some of the scenes featuring Nick and Charlie kissing, for artistic purposes.

In the series, traditionally animated leaves float around during moments of love, a direct copy of the visual motifs in the webcomic. In Nick and Charlie's first kissing scene, sparks of electricity come out as Charlie tries touching Nick's hand. Animated seagulls and lovebirds are also seen. Oseman said that the animations represent a "feeling of magic" they intended to evoke. She had already thought of using such effects while writing the screenplay, conceiving that they would appear primarily during the intimate scenes between Nick and Charlie, which she dubbed "Heartstopper moments". Eventually, Anna Peronetto was chosen to create the animations, using a storyboard by Oseman. Peronetto had been a fan of the original source material and was chosen when Oseman made an Instagram post looking for traditional animators. She discussed with Lyn and editor Sofie Alonzi to see what kinds of animations fit in a certain scene. For the lovebirds, she analysed London feral parakeets.{{Cite web |title=Alice Oseman Explains Those Magical Doodles in Heartstopper |url=https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/alice-oseman-heartstopper-doodles |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220517034322/https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/alice-oseman-heartstopper-doodles |archive-date=17 May 2022 |access-date=17 May 2022 |website=Netflix Tudum}}{{Cite news |last=Zornosa |first=Laura |date=9 May 2022 |title=Heartstopper Is a TV Love Story With the Soul of a Comic |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/09/arts/television/heartstopper-netflix.html |url-status=live |access-date=17 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220513110125/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/09/arts/television/heartstopper-netflix.html |archive-date=13 May 2022 |issn=0362-4331}}

Using DaVinci Resolve, Olifirova worked remotely with colourist Tobias James Tomkins, working for the company Cheat, to create a 3D lookup table (LUT) that resembled the shots' colour palette, as well as "add[ing] a hint of turquoise in the shadows and warmth to skin tones". Lyn had told them he wanted the colour intensity to increase as the story progressed and as seasons changed. They talked about how to create a proper Dolby Vision high dynamic range for the series, establishing colour and tonal limits. Then, the LUT's brightness was stopped down by one so that Olifirova could create additional light in the shadows and experiment with the colour grading. To enhance the HDR, an RGB colour space of DCI-P3 was chosen. Tomkins worked on the first two episodes for two days before working on individual remaining episodes for a day and a half.{{Cite web |date=28 April 2022 |title=Vibrant aesthetic helps new Netflix love story Heartstopper pack emotional punch |url=https://britishcinematographer.co.uk/vibrant-aesthetic-helps-new-netflix-love-story-heartstopper-pack-emotional-punch |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220517034323/https://britishcinematographer.co.uk/vibrant-aesthetic-helps-new-netflix-love-story-heartstopper-pack-emotional-punch |archive-date=17 May 2022 |access-date=17 May 2022 |website=British Cinematographer}} Digital imaging technician Vincenzo Onorato was responsible for applying the LUTs to the dailies.

She read the webcomic prior to composing and was given direction to have her music complement the pre-existing songs used. She would play chords on her keyboard, then add riffs on a synthesiser, then add sound effects.{{Cite web |title=The 'Heartstopper' Soundtrack Wants You to Feel the Music (Literally) |url=https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/heartstopper-season-2-music-soundtrack |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=Netflix Tudum |language=en |archive-date=5 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230805105904/https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/heartstopper-season-2-music-soundtrack |url-status=live}} Some of the tracks, including the titular one, aided the "Heartstopper moments" by further emphasizing the feeling of electricity and excitement.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bzj6fy |title=Danny chats to Heartstopper composer Adiescar Chase |date=28 April 2022 |last=Fullbrook |first=Danny |type=Radio programme |publisher=BBC Sounds |others=Chase, Adiescar |minutes=41:18 |access-date=24 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220428194423/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bzj6fy |archive-date=28 April 2022 |url-status=live}} Variations of Nick and Charlie's "First Sight" music were used whenever a character meets someone for the first time. Ben's theme, "X", incorporates slapping sounds to mirror "how his attitude slaps you in the face." For Season 2, Chase rearranged some previous tracks and made new ones. In the finale featuring Tara and Darcy, she recorded her singing to represent comfort.
