Netflix has given us one of its most beloved young adult dramas with Heartstopper, but all good things must come to an end. The acclaimed coming-of-age series won’t be coming back for Season 4, and the streaming giant is planning to wrap up its story with a feature-length film.
Based on Alice Oseman’s upcoming sixth and final Heartstopper graphic novel, this Netflix movie will bring Nick and Charlie’s love story to its conclusion.
“After Season 3, the couple is inseparable. But, with Nick preparing to leave for university and Charlie finding new independence at school, the reality of a long-distance relationship begins to weigh on them. Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet,” reads Netflix’s official logline.
Oseman created Heartstopper for Netflix, drawing inspiration from her own graphic novels, and she wrote the script for the final movie. Still Alice helmer Wash Westmoreland will be in charge of directing it, and the production is expected to kick off later this summer.
Kit Connor and Joe Locke will lead the cast as Nick and Charlie, and they’ll also be credited as the film’s executive producers. The ensemble of the original series also included Yasmin Finney, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Rhea Norwood, and Olivia Colman, but Netflix is yet to announce who will be back for the feature-length film.
