Netflix Moves Forward with 'Heartstopper' Movie
When season 3 of the hit Netflix show Heartstopper left several loose ends untied, fans understandably expected that it would mean the show would be returning for another season. As it turns out, that is not the case, but the story will still reach a conclusion.
After season 3 of the show concluded in October of last year, the future of the Heartstopper franchise was a bit uncertain. However, the streaming service recently announced that the story would conclude not with another season, but with a feature film.
This week, that project took a big step forward as the upcoming movie officially began filming.
Alice Oseman, who wrote the novels on which the screen adaptation is based, recently expressed her excitement about the upcoming film.
'The movie will be an exploration of time, memory, love, pain, the changing of the seasons, endings and beginnings, and the core element of Heartstopper: the ordinary magic of our everyday lives,' Oseman told Tudum during a recent interview.
'We've been working towards and hoping for this moment since we wrapped production of Season 3 at the end of 2023. There has been a huge amount of dedication and determination behind the scenes to get to this point. I've seen how frustrated and worried fans have been about whether we'd get to tell the end of the story — I've had messages asking about it every single day since Season 3 dropped! So I'm incredibly relieved that the answer is YES.'
'On a basic level, of course, I want the movie to be a beautiful and emotional send-off for the Heartstopper story — celebrating what Heartstopper means to people, a chance to say goodbye to our beloved characters, and many hints of what's to come in the characters' future lives.'
We'll have to see how the fan-favorite story concludes.
