Netflix announced “Heartstopper” would not be getting a season 4, but instead, a movie would be released to wrap up the fan-favorite series. Now we are sharing everything we know about the details of the “Heartstopper” movie and the future of Nick and Charlie’s love story.
Why No Season 4 for ‘Heartstopper?’
In 2024, Netflix released the third season of “Heartstopper.” For that third season, fans watched Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) as their relationship reached new milestones.
Now, fans are dying to see if their young love can withstand the test of time and distance. While rumors about season 4 were circulating among viewers, Netflix finally confirmed that the studio was making a movie instead of a new season.
While Netflix announced that a “Heartstopper” movie would be made, it never explained why it was continuing with a movie instead of a fourth season. However, Hollywood Life said the fan-favorite series did see a decline in viewership during the third season compared to seasons 1 and 2.
Series creator Alice Oseman talked at a book festival panel back in February 2025. At that time, Hollywood Life reported that Oseman was “working very hard behind the scenes to get us a renewal for ‘Heartstopper.’” However, she did tell fans that they didn’t “have a final answer yet” if the show would be renewed or not.
After the big movie announcement by Netflix in April 2025, Oseman told Deadline she was “completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the ‘Heartstopper’ story.
Oseman said, “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.”
