Happy four year anniversary
Netflix has released a teaser promo for Heartstopper Forever, which is the feature film that will conclude the series. The streamer releases the announcement of its start date today, which is the fourth anniversary of the launch of season one. After three seasons of the fan-favorite series, the much-anticipated final instalment will conclude the story of Nick, Charlie and their friends, with the narrative based around the yet unreleased volume six of Alice Oseman’s graphic novels. Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice, Colette) joins the series as director, with lead actors Kit Connor and Joe Locke also serving as executive producers.
Heartstopper Forever and ever
The cast includes Kit Connor, Joe Locke, William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood and Leila Khan.
The synopsis of the film finale reads,
“Nick and Charlie are inseparable, but with Nick preparing to leave for university and Charlie finding new independence at school, the reality of a long-distance relationship begins to weigh on them. Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet. Meanwhile, their friends are also navigating the ups and downs of love and friendship, confronting the bittersweet challenges of growing up and moving on. Can first loves really last forever?”
The executive producers on board also include Patrick Walters, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Alice Oseman and Euros Lyn.
Creative Forces
The movie will be produced by See-Saw Films and Oseman will be writing the film. Oseman has stated, “I am completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the Heartstopper story. I’m so grateful to everyone who has worked hard to make this possible and to the incredible fans of Heartstopper for your patience and passion. I cannot wait to bring this story to a magical conclusion.”
It seems like Olivia Colman’s involvement is non-existent for this film after she was notably absent from season 3, much to the disappointment of fans and the production. Heartstopper series creator Alice Oseman took to Instagram to explain that they “tried absolutely everything we could” to get Colman back but that it “wasn’t meant to be, and that’s just the way the TV world works sometimes.” Although Oseman still maintained, “Nick’s story from the comics is still there, still infinitely important to me, and Sarah’s role as emotional support for Nick will shift to other characters in the story for now.” Then, claimed, “If we get a season four, I would love for Olivia to be a part of it again!”
Watch out for Heartstopper Forever this summer on July 17.
