Joe Locke recently starred in Clarkston in the West End in 2025.
Joe Locke shot to fame with his breakthrough performance in Netflix’s chart-topping and Emmy Award-nominated LGBTQ+ teen drama series Heartstopper, for which he was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance at the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards in 2022.
Joe has starred in all three seasons of Heartstopper, and is currently in production for the new Heartstopper feature film where he will reprise his role and, alongside co-star Kit Connor, serve as an executive producer.
On stage, Joe won the Best Professional Debut Award at the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2023 for his performance in The Trials at the Donmar Warehouse. He also made his Broadway debut last year in the Tony Award-nominated Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, performing alongside Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster.
In 2024, Joe had a leading role in Disney+/Marvel’s WandaVision spin-off series Agatha All Along, alongside Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza and Patti LuPone. The series was released to critical acclaim, becoming one of Marvel Television’s most successful shows with Joe receiving a nomination for a Film Independent Spirit Award for his performance.
