Nick and Charlie are gearing up to say goodbye on Netflix with Heartstopper Forever, the movie that will wrap up the Heartstopper series, adapted from the graphic novels by Alice Oseman. Directed by Wash Westmoreland, this feature reunites Kit Connor (The Savage Robot, Elden Ring: The Film...) and Joe Locke (Agatha All Along...) in the lead roles of Nick and Charlie, who are also slated to serve as executive producers. Expected to be the finale of this teenage-love story that has become one of Netflix’s teen-successes, the film draws from the sixth volume to be published in the saga imagined by Alice Oseman.
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.
