Is Heartstopper season 4 happening?
With the arrival of season three, fans of Heartstopper and dedicated followers of the romance between Nick and Charlie are curious: will there be a fourth season of Heartstopper?
Alice Oseman's beautiful queer graphic novels have captured our hearts. The heartfelt journey of teen couple Nick and Charlie, along with the incredible friendships they build, makes watching Heartstopper feel like a comforting cup of tea.
The show has received immense praise and attention for its focus on LGBTQ+ themes, gender fluidity, asexuality, and other important issues relevant to youth. Additionally, it has provided a significant opportunity for supporting actors like Yasmin Finney, who has gone on to appear in Doctor Who alongside Ncuti Gatwa from Sex Education.
With season three exploring Charlie's mental health and the group's decisions about university, what lies ahead? Can we expect a fourth season on Netflix?
Here’s what we know so far about a possible fourth season of Heartstopper, which, if it gets made, might be the final one. We’ll update this post as soon as we hear any news about a renewal!
Plot Details For Heartstopper Season 4
Since season three has explored the fourth and fifth volumes of the comic, we can speculate that if Netflix decides to renew Heartstopper for a fourth season, it would likely adapt the sixth volume, which creator Alice Oseman is currently working on.
In a recent conversation with The Guardian, she shared her thoughts on volume six being the concluding part of the story, implying that if a fourth season of Heartstopper is produced, it would mark the end as well.
"I'm just 50 pages into the book, but I can already predict the events and the dialogue, so now I’m simply enjoying the process of illustrating it, which is what I love most," Alice shared. "I’m really looking forward to the conclusion of the story, but there's a sense of bittersweetness to it. I truly believe it’s the perfect moment for it to wrap up. It’s sad, yes, but it feels like the right time."
Alice has expressed her desire for the show to continue, and we’re all rooting for it. “I truly hope there will be a fourth season so we can see the story come to a fitting conclusion! I’m offering up prayers! Pleading! I even have nightmares about it all the time,” she shared on her Patreon.
How Many Heartstopper Books Exist?

Cast Of Heartstopper Season 4 Revealed
Since the series has not been picked up for a fourth season, we don’t have an official cast list yet. However, we have our hopes for a returning lineup – nearly all of the original characters!
This certainly includes Kit Connor and Joe Locke, along with the talented actors who portray their fantastic friends, such as William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Rhea Norwood, Kizzy Edgell, Toby Donovan, and Corrina Brown. We also believe that Charlie's witty sister Tori, portrayed by Jenny Walser, should definitely make a comeback.
Olivia Colman was also missing from the third season, where she plays Nick's lovely mother, because of scheduling conflicts. We're really looking forward to her return in the fourth season.
Additionally, following Jonathan Bailey's guest appearance in the third season of Bridgerton, Kit Connor expressed his desire to see Andrew Scott join the cast in the fourth season. He referred to the Fleabag star as "my solution for many things" and praised him, saying, “He’s fantastic. That would be amazing.”
"Release Date For Heartstopper Season 4"
Since it hasn't been confirmed yet, we still lack information on when Heartstopper season 4 will come out. Alice has mentioned that the sixth volume of Heartstopper will be available before the fourth season airs.
