Joe Locke and Kit Connor share update on 'Heartstopper' film

Filming for the upcoming Heartstopper movie wrapped yesterday in London, and the actors shared their feelings about the emotional journey of wrapping up the series. The movie, officially titled Heartstopper Forever, is set to be released in 2026. As of this writing, Netflix has not yet shared a specific release date.

Plot details for the movie are also being kept secret as of right now, but it is expected to wrap up the main characters' love story over the past few years and watch them learn to figure out their new relationship as Nick goes off to college.

Alice Oseman, who wrote the original graphic novel and serves as the creator of the Netflix adaptation, uploaded a photo of a tree with "N+C" carved into it and a caption that reads, "Day 35. That’s a wrap on the Heartstopper film."

"I’d never worked in a team in my career before working on the Heartstopper screen adaptation, and the Heartstopper shoots have shown me what magic can happen when so many creative minds come together," she wrote. "Heartstopper means the world to me, and it’s always been a little scary to put it into other people’s hands, but it’s been met with so much care and passion and dedication and love. I’m so thankful to everyone who has been a part of it… so far! Now we begin the edit!!!”

The stars of the show and the film, Kit Connor and Joe Locke, shared heartfelt posts on Instagram about playing these characters for the last time as they wrap filming. “Wrapped. Thank you for everything," Connor wrote in an Instagram story with a photo of him and Locke on set in Charlie's bedroom. Locke uploaded a post of him and Connor behind the scenes, posing for a picture, with the caption, "Bye Charlie x <3" and also shared the post to his Instagram story, writing, "Wrapped forever."
