Young love is in the air!
Fan-favorite gay teen drama Heartstopper will be coming to a close soon, but not before we get more of Nick (Kit Conner) and Charlie’s (Joe Locke) adorable puppy love.
Netflix just released first-look images for the upcoming movie titled Heartstopper Forever, which will bid a final farewell to the young lovers.
The streaming behemoth dropped four images for the film that will premiere on July 17, including photos of Nick at a restaurant and Charlie standing in front of a school bulletin board, but the ones driving fans wild feature the two boys together.
One photo shows Nick and Charlie back in their school uniforms in the halls of their high school, and the other has them dancing together and looking sickeningly happy.
The upcoming feature-length conclusion to the beloved show is written by Heartstopper author Alice Oseman and stars Connor and Locke are also serving as executive producers.
“These characters have meant a lot to us over the years,” Connor told Netflix’s TUDUM. “As EPs, it feels like we can really say goodbye to them in a way that feels the most right. It is bittersweet, but it is also a really nice way of ending it.” Locke agrees, adding, “This show has meant so much to me in my life. I’ll always carry that with me.”
The movie will follow Nick as he gets ready to head off to college, while Charlie struggles to finish school and figure out who he is without his popular boyfriend, forcing them to try to make a long-distance relationship work.
"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?” the official synopsis reads.
The show’s fanbase is already getting geared up for the movie to drop, flooding the Heartstopper Instagram account’s post of the first-look images with excited comments.
“My babies look so grown and so IN LOVE,” one person wrote.
“I am so torn every time, because I can’t wait to see the movie, but I wish it weren’t the end of us getting to peer in on Nick & Charlie’s continuing story,” someone lamented.
“THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST SUMMER OF OUR LIVES,” another person commented.
Heartstopper Forever will premiere on Netflix on July 17, 2026.
