The ending ofHeartstopperseason 3leaves Charlie and Nick in a good place, but there’s some room for turbulence ahead considering that Nick is contemplating moving away for university.

Our Take On Heartstopper’s Future
It’s Good For One More Round
The Netflix series has already accomplished a great deal. Locke and Connor are rising stars, with the former joining the MCU as a co-lead inAgatha All Alongand Connor making waves on the stage and the big screen. He’ll next star in Alex Garland’sWarfareand is part of a Broadway musical adaptation ofRomeo & Julietopposite Rachel Zegler. The same is true for the rest oftheHeartstoppercastlike William Gao and Yasmin Finney, in their roles as Tao and Elle.
The story is also unique in being a fairly positive depiction of what it could mean to be a member of the queer community, with minimal angst and avoiding a harsher outlook. The approach has earned the adaptation its share of supporters, and it does seem likely that Oseman will get to bring the end of the story to the screen. At this point, however, it’s not confirmed.
