Get the Tissues Ready, “Heartstopper” Has Finished Filming Forever
The final chapter in the Nick and Charlie story, a film titled Heartstopper Forever, officially wrapped production on July 27, 2025.
The show’s leads, Kit Connor and Joe Locke, shared short but emotional farewells on social media. After spending years bringing these characters to life, their goodbyes felt personal. Connor, who plays Nick, simply posted, “Bye Charlie, thankyou<3,” while Locke, our beloved Charlie, added, “Wrapped. Thank you for everything.” For the millions who have followed their story, the feeling is definitely mutual.
That's a wrap on the Heartstopper movie 🍂

So what’s the final story going to be?
Set for release in 2026, the film will see Nick preparing to leave for university while Charlie remains at school. The official synopsis hints at the strain a long-distance relationship puts on their bond, forcing them to face their most significant challenge yet. It poses the big question many of us have asked: can a first love actually go the distance? Of course, the whole gang is back too, with Tara, Darcy, Tao, and Isaac all dealing with their own dramas of growing up and moving on.
A new director is taking the reins…
Handling this final story is director Wash Westmoreland, whose work on films like Still Alice and Colette proves he knows how to handle delicate, character-focused material. His involvement should reassure anyone worried about the film losing its signature tenderness.

Both Kit Connor and Joe Locke are stepping up as executive producers. They join the show’s creator, Alice Oseman, and the original production crew. With the people who started it all helping to guide its conclusion, we have every reason to expect a fitting end.
While we have to wait until 2026 for Heartstopper Forever to arrive on Netflix, it’s clear this farewell will be an emotional one.
