Heartstopper took us on one wild ride over the course of three seasons, but it’s not getting the fourth. Netflix won’t be renewing the beloved coming-of-age drama for Season 4, and they’re planning to wrap up Nick and Charlie’s love story with a feature-length movie instead.
Based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novel of the same name, Heartstopper chronicles the blooming romance between two very different British teens – the high-strung overthinker Charlie and the soft-hearted rugby player Nick.
The new Netflix film will pick up where Season 3 left off, and it will see Nick and Charlie trying to navigate the reality of a long-distance relationship. Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet as Nick prepares to go to university, leaving Charlie to find new independence at school.
Kit Connor and Joe Locke will be back as Nick and Charlie, and they’ll also executive produce the final Heartstopper film. The rest of the cast is yet to be announced, but it will most likely include the original cast members Yasmin Finney, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Rhea Norwood, and Olivia Colman.
Oseman is returning to pen the script of this coming-of-age film, based on the sixth and final Heartstopper graphic novel. The production will kick off later this summer, with Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice, Colette) serving as the director.
