On Netflix, the story of Nick and Charlie is drawing to a close with Heartstopper Forever, the movie set to wrap up the series adapted from Alice Oseman's graphic novels. Directed by Wash Westmoreland, the feature will bring back Kit Connor (The Savage Robot, Elden Ring: The Film by Alex Garland with Kit Connor and Ben Whishaw, arriving in March 2028...) and Joe Locke (Agatha All Along...) in the roles that made them known to Heartstopper’s audience, with added clout as executive producers. The finale will be based on the sixth volume of the saga, which is still forthcoming.
Heartstopper arrives on Netflix on July 17, 2026.
Synopsis: Nick and Charlie face the challenges of a long-distance relationship as Nick heads off to college. Around them, their friends pursue their own journeys through the complexities of love, friendship and coming of age.
The film is aimed primarily at those who have followed the series since its inception, but also at audiences interested in LGBTQ+ themes and initiation stories. Its interest lies in the desire to offer a clear conclusion to a series that has reached a wide audience through its realistic tone, commitment and emotional sobriety. The change of director marks a turning point in the visual treatment of the universe, without altering its essence.
Filmed in the summer of 2025, this final chapter also marks a milestone in the careers of Kit Connor and Joe Locke, who have become familiar faces to international young audiences. Their return signals a shared commitment to closing the story while staying true to its tone and its fans. On the casting front, the lineup includes Yasmin Finney (Elle), William Gao (Tao), Tobie Donovan (Isaac), Corinna Brown (Tara), Kizzy Edgell (Darcy), Rhea Norwood (Imogen) and Leila Khan (Sahar). Note, however, that Olivia Colman, who portrayed Sarah Nelson, Nick’s mother, will not be returning for the feature, replaced by Anna Maxwell Martin. The production remains led by See-Saw Films, as with the first three seasons.
Heartstopper Forever will wrap up a series that's been lauded for its inclusive portrayal and its grounded, real-life coming-of-age stories. With Alice Oseman writing and Wash Westmoreland directing, Netflix promises a seamless transition to a finale that should satisfy fans. The Heartstopper universe will thus conclude in a format new to the series: a feature film.
