Joe discusses his audition for the Marvel series, his most difficult scenes, and producing the upcoming ‘Heartstopper’ film. Gold Derby’s Jaclyn Ben-Porat hosts this webchat.

A Heartstopper movie to conclude the series

As the series Heartstopper celebrates its 3rd anniversary today (season 1 was released on 22 April 2022), Netflix and Alice Oseman, the author of Heartstopper, have just announced that there will be no season 4, but that the series will conclude with a movie! The film will be adapted from the sixth and final volume as well as the novel Nick and Charlie. Joe Locke and Kit Connor join the executive producer ranks of the movie alongside Alice Oseman, Euros Lyn, Patrick Walters, Iain Canning and Emile Sherman who all served as executive producers on the first three seasons. See-Saw Films is back as production company. Filming is slated to begin in summer 2025.

Netflix has greenlighted a Heartstopper movie, starring and executive produced by the series’ leads Joe Locke and Kit Connor and directed by Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice, Colette), which will serve as a series finale. The announcement was made on the third anniversary of Heartstopper’s April 22, 2002 series premiere. Heartstopper creator Alice Oseman, on whose graphic books the coming-of-age romantic series was based, is back as writer of the feature film, which will draw from the upcoming sixth and final volume of the graphic novel. (Season 1 covered Vol. 1-2, Season 2 was based on Vol. 3, and Season 4 followed Vol. 4 and 5.) There is no publish date yet for Vol. 6, which is still being written. Oseman has indicated that ideally, the last book would drop ahead of the TV series’ conclusion. Locke and Connor join the executive producer ranks of the movie alongside Oseman, Lyn, Patrick Walters, Iain Canning and Emile Sherman who all served as executive producers on the first three seasons. See-Saw Films is back as production company. Filming is slated to begin in summer 2025.

“I am 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.”
