Inside Heartstopper movie's 'steamy' scene as star teases new details
Heartstopper Forever picks up after the Season 3 finale
The end of Heartstopper is on the horizon, with an upcoming film wrapping up Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson's (Kit Connor) story for good.
Titled Heartstopper Forever, the film picks up where the Netflix series left off. At the end of Season 3, fans celebrated as the pair took their relationship to the next level after three seasons of character growth.
"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,” Alice Oseman, whose graphic novels the series and film are based on, told Netflix's Tudum.
However there will be a surprise in store for fans of the film, as Oseman teased that Heartstopper's grand finale will stray from the source material. No release date has yet been announced for Heartstopper Forever, though it is expected to land in 2026.
During a recent Q&A, she shared: "We've just finished shooting the movie. It's based on Volume 6, it's also based on the Nick and Charlie novella.
"It's been very difficult to implement the events of the novella in Volume 6. In the film, I have found a different way to approach this problem and so there is a point in the movie where we slightly diverge from the events of Volume 6 and take a slightly different path to get to the ending, which I find really fun and exciting.
"So I think even once you read Volume 6 there will still be quite a few surprises in the movie waiting for you."
As if Oseman's reveal wasn't enough to keep fans on tenterhooks, one of the movie's stars just let slip some details about one of the steamier scenes in the film. Sitting down with VMAN, Louis Partridge and Kit Connor shared what to expect.
Kit teased: "I was doing rugby training today, hence all the mud and lovely stuff - my favourite thing to do," as Louis interjected: "If it isn't rugby training, it's SEAL training. That's just amazing."
Kit continued: "Always some kind of throwing myself on the ground. We shot quite a steamy scene yesterday. So again, throwing myself on the ground in a different way."
Heartstopper Forever is slated for release in 2026 though an exact date is yet to be announced
