Netflix Cancels Heartstopper Series Announces Movie Conclusion

Big news for Heartstopper fans! After three beloved seasons, Netflix has announced that the Heartstopper series is coming to an end. But before you start crying (we know, it’s emotional), there’s a silver lining. Instead of a fourth season, the story will wrap up with a Heartstopper movie. Yep, you heard that right—a movie to give Nick and Charlie’s story a proper send-off!

For those of you who are new to Heartstopper, the show follows Nick and Charlie, two British teenagers navigating their feelings, identity, and a blossoming romance. Based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, the series has become a fan favorite for its heartwarming, positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ relationships. Fans have fallen in love with the cast, especially Kit Connor (Nick) and Joe Locke (Charlie), who have brought so much warmth and chemistry to their roles.

Why is Netflix ending the series? While it’s tough to say goodbye, the decision to move forward with a movie instead of a season four is actually a pretty sweet one. The movie will be based on the sixth and final Heartstopper graphic novel, plus Oseman’s Nick and Charlie novella. This means fans will get an epic, satisfying conclusion that ties up all the loose ends of Nick and Charlie’s journey.

In a statement to Variety, Netflix’s Trixie Hunter shared, “We wanted to give fans a fitting conclusion that honors the story and its characters, and we believe a movie is the best way to do that.”

The movie will feature Nick and Charlie once again, with both Kit and Joe stepping up as executive producers. Filming isn’t expected to begin until summer 2025, so it’ll be a while before we get to see the movie. But don’t worry, if you need your Heartstopper fix in the meantime, you can still stream all three seasons on Netflix.

The movie promises to follow the couple as they navigate the next chapter of their relationship—long-distance and all—while dealing with life at university. If the series was emotional, we can only imagine how the movie will leave us all feeling!

So while we’re sad to say goodbye to the series, we’re also super excited for the movie. It looks like Nick and Charlie’s journey is far from over.
