Oseman continued: “I’m deeply relieved and so excited about this new creative venture. I’ve written the script and we’re hard at work already. I know you’ll have a lot of questions, and I’ll be able to talk about it more very soon, but for now let’s CELEBRATE! Heartstopper is getting its ending!!!!!! 🍂”

‘Heartstopper’: Why you should make time to watch Netflix’s sweet, queer YA romance

Based on the graphic novels by Oseman, who wrote the show, “Heartstopper” premiered in 2022 as a half-hour series about Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor), two British teens who fall madly in love over the course of a school year.

Netflix’s thriller drama “You” returns this week for an “epic fifth and final season,” according to Netflix as “Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) returns to New York to enjoy his happily ever after… until his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.”

Co-showrunner and executive producer Michael Foley told Netflix’s Tudum the producers loved the “idea of things coming full circle for” Joe.

“We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York,” Foley told Tudum. “We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new.”

According to Netflix, the final season picks up three years after Joe and Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) left London for New York City. Kate is now CEO of the Lockwood Corporation while Joe is her loyal husband “dubbed Prince Charming by the adoring public.”
