Netflix’s ‘Heartstopper’ is ending with a movie

Like the inevitable final days of high school, Heartstopper is coming to an end, with Netflix announcing a film to close the beloved series.

Three years since the release of Season 1, the streaming service revealed in an Instagram post on Tuesday that Heartstopper will return with a movie to send off Charlie Spring (Joe Locke), Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), and their marvellous crew. Production is set to begin this year.

The Heartstopper film will be based on the unreleased sixth volume of Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, with Netflix revealing the narrative will revolve around Nick and Charlie preparing to go long-distance as Nick gets ready to start university out of town.

Still Alice director Wash Westmoreland will helm the project with series director Euros Lyn acting as an executive producer alongside Locke, Connor, and Oseman.

“I am completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the Heartstopper story,” Oseman said in a press statement. “I’m so grateful to everyone who has worked hard to make this possible and to the incredible fans of Heartstopper for your patience and passion. I cannot wait to bring this story to a magical conclusion.”

Considering we left the Paris Crew on the precipice of maturity and deciding what comes after high school in Season 3, there are plenty of loose ends to tie up. And although the rest of the cast hasn’t been announced, it wouldn’t be the same without Tao (William Gao), Elle (Yasmin Finney), Isaac (Tobie Donovan), Tara (Corinna Brown), Darcy (Kizzy Edgell), Imogen (Rhea Norwood), or Tori (Jenny Walser).
