“Heartbreak High” Sunscreen Scene Goes Viral Again And Fans Are Split
If your social media feed has suddenly filled with two shirtless guys and a bottle of sunscreen, you can thank Netflix Brasil. The account recently reposted a memorable moment from season two of Heartbreak High, and the internet has taken notice.
The clip comes from the fourth episode, where Malakai played by Thomas Weatherall and Rowan played by Sam Rechner share a clumsy, tense attempt at applying sunscreen that has very little to do with sun protection. Shared under the show’s localised title Heartbreak High: Onde Tudo Acontece, the post has sparked a fresh wave of reactions.
The internet has some thoughts.
The fan response was a mix of frustration and amusement. Some viewers are tired of waiting for the new season, with one writing, “Ain’t even got no shame Netflix, ‘new season coming soon’ has been a year already.” Another joked, “Since Elite, I think Netflix aims to become the ‘Boys Online’ of real life.”
The scene itself left people divided. “Me being gay and hating this diabolical scene,” one user commented. In contrast, another admitted, “I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this.” Many simply found the humour in the awkward encounter, with one fan saying, “The day I watched this scene I died laughing so hard.”
So when is season three actually coming…
The renewed attention on the scene highlights a bigger question on everyone’s mind. The third and final season of Heartbreak High has been confirmed, but a release date remains elusive.
Adding to the anticipation, the official Heartbreak High Instagram account posted its own teaser, featuring a quick flash of the now-famous scene. The clip cheekily suggested, “Season 3 is coming, but calm down. While it waits, how about we rewatch seasons 1 and 2?”
It seems Netflix knows exactly how to keep a show in conversation, and reposting one of its most talked-about moments is a clever way to keep fans engaged while they wait.
