Overview
- The Heartstopper film premieres on Netflix on Friday, July 17, and serves as a single feature-length finale rather than a fourth season.
- The movie runs about 114 minutes and follows Nick and Charlie as their relationship faces the test of long distance when Nick goes to university.
- Stars Kit Connor and Joe Locke return as lead actors and serve as executive producers on the film for the first time.
- Cast changes include Anna Maxwell Martin replacing Olivia Colman as Nick’s mother, and the core ensemble from the series mostly returns for the finale.
- Actors and early reviews note the film contains more explicit intimacy than earlier seasons, and producers say those scenes were staged with an intimacy coordinator and actor consent to ensure safety.
