Netflix Heartstopper Forever is almost here and Alice Oseman is opening up! The show’s writer and creator is addressing the discourse about including sex on the show or in the movie, as well as turning what would’ve been the fourth and final season into a movie. On the challenges of turning the show into a movie “What I felt when approaching the film was that either we could do a similar ensemble approach, where everyone would get a reduced, shorter story, or we could make it about Nick and Charlie, and I think that would be a better film … because we get to really focus on these characters, go on that journey with them and not feel like we’re missing a load of stuff,” Alice tells Teen Vogue . “I feel really good about that decision, as I was still really intent on giving all of the supporting characters their moment in the film. That’s really important to me, because we love these characters and we’ve learned so much about them, and we want to know where they’re at in the film and where they’re going to be in the future, so I did make sure that everyone has their goodbye in the film.” On the characters getting older and having sex “There is a lot of discourse about there being sex or there not being sex in Heartstopper , people can’t seem to make up their minds—which one is it?—but something that I’ve definitely learned while writing is that you have to tell the story you want to tell, and particularly when something gets as big as Heartstopper , you can’t please everyone,” Alice shared. “There’s always going to be people who are not content with the direction you’ve taken a story.” The writer notes that the characters have been aged up throughout the show and into the movie. “Every time we’ve come back to the Heartstopper show and film, we’ve tried to age it up a little bit because we wanted to feel like the show is growing up alongside these characters and the audience,” they said. “Nick and Charlie are almost adults, they’re pretty much on the cusp of adulthood, and we know that sex is a part of their relationship, and so it felt like a really natural thing to put in the film, and it’s the same in the books as well.” How Alice Oseman feels about Heartstopper ending “I don’t know, I really don’t know,” Alice tells Teen Vogue . “Right now it’s very bittersweet, like I’m really sad to be saying goodbye to these characters and I’m going to miss them so much. It’s really emotional to be ending these stories, but also that’s all wrapped up in the feeling of pride and happiness that I got to finish this story in the way that I wanted to … I think that crash will come, but it’s not quite yet.” Heartstopper Forever will premiere NEXT Friday (July 17) on Netflix.
