Tue Apr 22 15:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Heartstopper’s Love Story to Conclude in Feature Film

**London, UK** – Netflix’s beloved LGBTQ+ teen romance series, *Heartstopper*, will conclude with a feature-length film, the streaming giant announced today. The film, directed by Wash Westmoreland (*Still Alice*, *Colette*), will adapt the as-yet-unpublished sixth book in Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series, bringing the story of Nick and Charlie (played by Kit Connor and Joe Locke, respectively) to a close.

The film will focus on Nick and Charlie’s challenges as they navigate a long-distance relationship following Nick’s departure to university. Connor and Locke will serve as executive producers. Filming is slated to begin this summer, though a release date remains unannounced. The involvement of supporting cast members, including Olivia Colman, is yet to be confirmed.

Oseman expressed her excitement about bringing the story to a “magical conclusion,” thanking fans for their patience and unwavering support. The series, known for its sensitive portrayal of LGBTQ+ relationships, has garnered significant acclaim since its debut three years ago, becoming a global phenomenon and a consistent presence in Netflix’s Top 10 charts.

While unusual, concluding a series with a feature film isn’t unprecedented. Netflix itself previously employed this method with *Sense8*, and other shows such as *Deadwood*, *Timeless*, and *CSI* also utilized this format. The upcoming *Peaky Blinders* film will follow suit. This approach follows the model pioneered by HBO with the *Sex and the City* films, although that series later saw a revival.
