Netflix has set a release date for the Heartstopper finale. The franchise will wrap when feature film Heartstopper Forever releases on July 17.

The send-off movie will stand in for the fourth season of the LGBTQ+ coming-of-age series that stars Kit Connor and Joe Jocke, and is based on series creator Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper book series.

The film, dated by Netflix on the fourth anniversary of the first season’s release, will follow an inseparable couple as they confront the challenges of a long-distance relationship as Nick (Connor) prepares for university and Charlie (Jocke) gains independence at school.

“Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet. Meanwhile, their friends are also navigating the ups and downs of love and friendship, confronting the bittersweet challenges of growing up and moving on. Can first loves really last forever?” reads the synopsis from Netflix.

The streamer also released a video montage of the Heartstopper cast through their first three seasons of the popular drama, along with a new behind-the-scene image on set.  

The ensemble cast for the movie supporting Nick and Charlie as they continue their journey to becoming young adults includes William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Rhea Norwood and Leila Khan.

The Heartstopper YA romance franchise, also written by graphic novelist Oseman, debuted in 2022. On the Netflix Tudum site, Oseman expanded on the storyline behind the wrap 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.”

The final film from See-Saw Films is directed by Wash Westmoreland from a script by Oseman. The executive producer credits are shared by Patrick Walters, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Oseman, Euros Lyn, Locke and Connor.
