Heartbreak High stars: Where are they now?

Before the 90s favourite drops on Netflix, see what the cast have been up to! - by Erin Doyle
  • 12 Nov 2020

It was the hit show we rushed home from school to watch every afternoon on the ABC.

Looking into the lives of the students from Hartley High (later Hartley Heights) from 1994 until 1999, Heartbreak High fast became a staple show of the era and it's hard to believe it's more than 20 years since it first aired on our screens.

The edgy drama, which will be available on Netflix by the end of the month, also became the launching pad for stars like Ada Nicodemou, Alex Dimitriades and Luke Jacobz, while Callan Mulvey's Drazic and Lara Cox's Anita made the ultimate IT couple.

And that theme tune? Still stuck in our heads two decades on.

But where did the actors, who were once household names among all Australian 90s teens, end up after the school bell rang for the final time? We've investigated what they're up to now.
