Alice Oseman addresses Heartstopper’s surprising finale change, revealing how she feels about the series being concluded as a movie, but why skeptical fans should still be optimistic about the feature.
After Netflix confirmed Heartstopper will be concluded as a movie, Oseman opened up with the streamer about how she felt about the sudden change. Admitting that she needed time to adjust to the new format, the author stated that she feels that the movie could still stand out as a worthy conclusion by being free of the constraints of a television series once filming begins during summer 2025. Check out Oseman’s response below:
I totally understand if fans are a little apprehensive. It’s a big change from what we know. It’s something totally new and unknown, and yes, the runtime will be less than a TV season. Even I needed some time to process and come to terms with the change. But once I began to see the entire vision, I knew it would be something even more beautiful than a regular season could achieve. We are feeling very ambitious about what is possible in a movie format. With no need for end-of-episode cliff-hangers or a new twist every episode, every part of Heartstopper can be elevated to a higher quality to create something memorable, sophisticated, and atmospheric.
More to come…
