The final chapter of the popular Netflix series Heartstopper will end with a film based on an upcoming novel.
Based on British author Alice Oseman’s well-known graphic novels, the series has helped its 21-year-old protagonists Kit Connor, Joe Locke, and Yasmin Finney land major TV and movie roles in the US and the UK.
For three season, Kit has portrayed Nick Nelson in the Netflix coming-of-age drama series and falls in love with Joe’s character, Charlie Spring, at school.
