Netflix's Heartstopper to End With Feature Film

Netflix has announced that Heartstopper, its acclaimed LGBTQ+ coming-of-age series, will conclude with a feature film instead of a fourth season. The film will be written by series creator Alice Oseman and directed by Wash Westmoreland, adapting Oseman’s sixth and final graphic novel volume. Stars Kit Connor and Joe Locke return as Nick and Charlie, reprising their roles and acting as executive producers. The story centers on Nick and Charlie facing a long-distance relationship as Nick prepares for university and Charlie gains new independence at school, with their friends also navigating the transitions of growing up. Fans have had mixed reactions, expressing both sadness at the end and gratitude for a definitive finale. Production is set to begin this summer, but no release date or full cast list has been confirmed.
