“Everyone thinks teenage relationships don’t last,” the voiceover of Netflix’s Heartstopper Forever trailer begins. “Guess I’m an optimist.”

Netflix is gearing up for the grand finale of the popular coming-of-age series with the debut of the trailer for Heartstopper Forever on Tuesday morning. The film serves as a conclusion to the beloved story.

Heartstopper Forever follows Kit Connor’s Nick and Joe Locke’s Charlie on the precipice of change and unable to imagine life without each other. The synopsis 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.”
