Netflix knows how to keep the crowd buzzing. Since April 2022, Heartstopper
and the platform have been inseparable—like Nick and Charlie, but with a subscription fee. Season 2 arrived in 2023, and Season 3 premiered on October 3, 2024.

After six agonizing months of silence, it finally dropped the ultimate twist: Heartstopper
is skipping Season 4 and heading straight to a movie.
