After ‘Heated Rivalry’ Mania, a Very Adult ‘Heartstopper’ Is Here

The feature-length finale follows Nick and Charlie as university plans test their relationship and closes the franchise without a post-credits scene.

  • On Friday, July 17, Netflix released Heartstopper Forever, concluding the story of Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring. The film marks the final chapter in the beloved series as the couple navigates early adulthood.
