Netflix has finally revealed the fate of Heartstopper after six gruelling months for fans, who were unsure whether the show would ever return.
The teen drama, starring Joe Locke and Kit Connor, will not return for a fourth and final series, but a feature-length film, which will wrap things up.
The series – adapted from Alice Oseman’s graphic novel – follows the blossoming love life of Charlie (Locke) and was praised by fans upon its release in 2022 for giving queer characters a joyful story akin to heterosexual relationships featured in many romantic comedies.
The Heartstopper film will be directed by Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice, Colette) and will serve as the series finale. Meanwhile, Oseman will write the script, which is based on the forthcoming sixth and final volume from her graphic novel series.
No publication date has been announced for Heartstopper Vol. 6, however Oseman has said she would like the last book to be released ahead of the TV series, per Deadline.
The Heartstopper finale follows the lead couple as they embark on a stressful long-distance relationship after Nick leaves for university.
