Netflix’s Heartbreak High parents guide: Is the drama series appropriate for kids?

Heartbreak High is finally streaming on Netflix. It’s a reboot of the popular ’90s Australian drama series of the same name. Like the original series, the reboot follows the lives of the students who attend the fictional Hartley High. But instead of the story taking place in the ’90s, it’s set in the present year. If this sounds like something you’d like to watch, then you must read on to find out the parents guide and age rating.

Netflix’s Heartbreak High was created by Hannah Carroll Chapman, Ben Gannon, and Michael Jenkins. It’s inspired by the original 1994 series but is reimagined for a new generation. The story centers around a young teen named Amerie. When a map charting all the students’ sexcapades is discovered, its author, Amerie, becomes an instant pariah and her best friend dumps her. Now,  Amerie must find a way to repair her reputation and right her wrongs. Can Amerie’s new outsider friends help her?

The Heartbreak High cast includes a talented bunch of actors, such as Ayesha Madon, James Majoos, Chloe Hayden, Asher Yasbincek, Thomas Weatherall, Josh Heuston, Will McDonald, and many others.

So is this show kid-friendly? Is it okay to watch Heartbreak High with kids? Without further ado, here are the parents guide and age rating for the drama series.
