It’s no surprise that fans hate to see their favorite shows canceled. Unfortunately, that’s the latest news for one Netflix series that only lasted three seasons on the popular streaming platform. Though there is a positive announcement attached to this disappointing update.
Many fans were expecting this show’s third season to be followed with a fourth to answer the questions that have been piling up to date.
Interestingly, while that will not happen, the streaming service does have a plan in place to give fans the closure they need.
The move comes as a small but meaningful consolation for the dedicated fanbase who have followed the show from the very beginning.
Unlike other shows that have just outright ended with no follow-up, the streaming giant acknowledged the passionate outcry from viewers this time around.
Netflix decided to honor the show’s legacy with a final send-off that promises to bring closure to its major plotlines.
As shared via Tudum:
“Fan-favorite romance Heartstopper will conclude with an upcoming Heartstopper feature film. The film will star Connor and Locke (who will also serve as executive producers), and is written by Heartstopper creator, executive producer, and graphic novelist Alice Oseman. The Heartstopper movie starts filming this summer.”
An additional statement was shared by Oseman to emphasize how grateful they are to be able to conclude the Heartstopper story with a movie in place of a fourth season. Here’s what she shared:
“I am completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the Heartstopper story,” Oseman stated. “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.”
Though many details regarding the project are being kept under wraps at this time, the Heartstopper feature film will be based on Alice Oseman’s sixth and final Heartstopper graphic novel that hasn’t yet been released. Nevertheless, it should provide a fulfilling premise for concluding this Netflix series that has kept audiences engaged for three seasons.
