Kit Connor is preparing Heartstopper fans for an ending that’s sure to have a few hearts racing.
Following “week one” of filming on the Netflix movie finale, the actor teased “quite a steamy scene” in the concluding chapter of the LGBTQ teen romance series, based on the graphic novels by Alice Oseman.
“So I was doing rugby training today, hence all the mud and lovely stuff—my favorite thing to do,” Connor told fellow actor Louis Partridge in a conversation for VMan, to which the Enola Holmes actor quipped: “If it isn’t rugby training, it’s SEAL training. That’s just amazing.”
Connor added, “Always some kind of throwing myself on the ground. We shot quite a steamy scene yesterday. So again, throwing myself on the ground in a different way.”
His co-star Joe Locke previously said the movie is “a really nice closing chapter of the story.”
Before Netflix announced the feature film finale in April, Oseman previously told Deadline she was hoping for a renewal, with the sixth and final installment of her graphic novel series in the works.
“I think one more season or one more, whatever it could be, would finish the story, conclude everyone’s character arcs, and help us to say goodbye to all of those characters,” said Oseman in October. “So yeah, keeping my fingers crossed.”
Heartstopper stars Connor and Joe Locke as Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, two English schoolboys who spark a romance amid their unlikely friendship.
