Heartstopper movie gets exciting production update as new title is revealed
Kit Connor and Joe Locke have filmed their last scenes as Nick and Charlie.
Heartstopper stars Joe Locke and Kit Connor have wrapped shooting on the forthcoming feature-length finale to Netflix's LGBTQ+ drama, with the title seemingly being revealed in a recent report.
Sources have told online outlet What's On Netflix that the film is called Heartstopper: Forever, with evidence to back up the claim including a photo of a clapperboard seemingly taken from the set.
Notably, this would line up neatly with a social media post from co-star Locke, who shared a behind-the-scenes picture to his Instagram story over the weekend that just so happened to be captioned "wrapped forever" [emphasis added].
Locke also added the photo to his main account, which sees himself and co-star Connor descending a staircase to a seaside promenade, with a row of picturesque beach huts to their side.
Previous beach scenes in the show have been filmed at Herne Bay, Kent and Lyme Regis, Dorset, but it's not clear from the photo where exactly the duo have ended up this time.
The word 'forever' is also dropped into the film's previously released synopsis.
It reads: "Nick and Charlie are inseparable, but with Nick preparing to leave for university and Charlie finding new independence at school, the reality of a long-distance relationship begins to weigh on them.
"Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet. Meanwhile, their friends are also navigating the ups and downs of love and friendship, confronting the bittersweet challenges of growing up and moving on."
The synopsis concludes with a nod to the reported title, asking: "Can first loves really last forever?"
RadioTimes.com has reached out to Netflix for comment.
Netflix is yet to announce a full cast list for the Heartstopper film, but the mention of "friends" in the above description suggests that Locke and Connor will be joined by series regulars Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Corinna Brown and Kizzy Edgell.
