It might be Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) forever, but viewers won't see how the rest of the story plays out once the Heartstopper movie comes out in 2026. Locke shared on his Instagram account that filming for the much-anticipated final chapter of the beloved romance series wrapped up, marking the end of the story that took the world by storm in 2021. In his post, Locke posted an image of himself and his co-star, Connor. The duo is walking down a flight of stairs in what happens to be an outdoor setting. "bye charlie x thankyou the movie will be titled Heartstopper: Forever, as shared by the streaming giant on their social media pages.

Heartstopper's creator, Alice Oseman, spoke with Tudum about the movie and admitted that the change was initially concerning. "It’s something totally new and unknown, and yes, the runtime will be less than a TV season.

Criticised for his appearance and lack of experience, Joe Locke proves his talent in Clarkston, his highly anticipated return to the London stage.

The eagerly awaited UK premiere of ‘Clarkston‘, a play by award-winning playwright Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale), will run at London’s Trafalgar Theatre from 17 September to 22 November 2025. The production will star Joe Locke, known for his role in Heartstopper, alongside Ruaridh Mollica (The Franchise) and Sophie Melville (Iphigenia in Splott).

Directed by Drama Desk Award-winner Jack Serio, Clarkston is described as an emotionally intimate story about the search for identity and connection in rural America. In Clarkston, Jake embarks on a westward journey and ends up meeting Chris, a kindred spirit stuck working the night shift at a Costco. Their bond deepens into a life-changing adventure, reminiscent of explorers Lewis and Clark.

This project marks Locke’s return to the London stage following his acclaimed performance...

Joe Locke—the 21-year-old actor who rose to fame as Charlie Spring in Netflix’s Heartstopper—will make his first West End appearance this autumn, headlining the U.K. premiere of Samuel D. Hunter’s three-hander Clarkston, producers confirmed on 9 July. The intimate drama will be staged under director Jack Serio, with Ruaridh Mollica and Sophie Melville joining the cast; performance dates and the theatre are still to be announced.

Locke said he was “thrilled” to join a script he found “so deeply human and honest,” while Hunter called the London engagement “a dream come true” for playwright and company alike. Clarkston, first produced in the United States in 2015, follows Jake, a terminally ill young man who takes a warehouse job in rural Washington and forges an unexpected bond with co-worker Chris—an exploration Hunter describes as “a modern frontier story” about friendship and hope.

The announcement extends a whirlwind period for Locke.

After making his Broadway debut last year, Joe Locke is taking his performing prowess to London’s West End, where he will star in Clarkston, Samuel D. Hunter’s play about two 20-something men from opposite ends of the U.S. who meet while working at a Costco in small-town Washington.

“I’m thrilled to be making my West End debut in Clarkston,” the actor said in a statement, per Playbill. “Samuel D. Hunter’s writing is so deeply human and honest that I immediately connected with the play when I read it. I can’t wait to bring this beautiful story to life and share it with audiences in London.”

The play, which has been previously staged stateside beginning in Dallas in 2015, will mark its inaugural U.K. showing later this fall, after Locke has wrapped filming on Netflix’s Heartstopper film, which serves as a closer to the popular LGBTQ+ rom-dramedy YA series.

Joe Locke is heading back to the theatre!

“I’m thrilled to be making my West End debut in Clarkston,” Joe shared in a statement. “Samuel D. Hunter’s writing is so deeply human and honest that I immediately connected with the play when I read it. I can’t wait to bring this beautiful story to life and share it with audiences in London.”

According to Variety, Joe will be starring alongside Ruaridh Mollica and Sophie Melville in the Jack Serio-directed production.

The playwright, Samuel D Hunter, who wrote Oscar-winning movie The Whale, shared, “I couldn’t be more excited to bring Clarkston to London audiences, especially with this phenomenal cast and creative team. I’ve always adored the U.

A host of British screen stars have joined Charge Films and Deadbeat Films’ upcoming short film “Bury Your Gays.”

From writer/director Charlotte Serena Cooper, the film is billed as a “bold takedown of outdated LGBTQ+ tropes in film and TV mixed with dark comedy that satirises the harmful cinematic tradition of the same name.”

“Bury Your Gays” will be led by Jude Mack and T’Nia Miller. Miller — a long-time advocate for better queer representation on screen — also serves as an executive producer.

The cast also features Sophie Melville (“The Way”), Harry Trevaldwyn (“How to Train Your Dragon”), Blake Harrison (“The Inbetweeners”), Ella-Rae Smith (“Foundation”), Amelia Clarkson (“The Last Kingdom”) and Sule Rimi (“Day of the Jackal”).

The story follows actor Grace, who can’t understand why every role she lands ends in her untimely death — until a mysterious agent explains the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope. Now, trapped in a genre-hopping battle for survival,...

At the end of September, JoBlo Media and Octane Multimedia teamed up to launch a new YouTube channel named JoBlo TV, which hosts multiple feature films to watch for free throughout the week. The genres we’ll be focusing on at JoBlo TV are Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Thrillers – and the movie we shared this week is a genre-bender (or blender) that’s described as a sci-fi horror comedy!

The movie in question is called Alien Party Crashers, and that sounds like a good time to me.

Written and directed by Peter Stray, Alien Party Crashers has the following synopsis: A London DJ returns to his home in Wales to host a New Year’s Eve party. When a wave of time travelling aliens descend on the party, he and his friends must protect their rural valley from the invaders. The film stars Robert Pugh, Hannah Daniel, Sophie Melville,...

First of all – is the BBC allowed to air a drama without a detective or a horse-drawn carriage in it? Can somebody check?

Crime and period’s drama dominance isn’t the only modern TV trend bucked by The Way. Actor Michael Sheen’s directorial debut is a wild throwback to the society-falls-apart TV of the past: Threads. The Year of the Sex Olympics. The Guardians. Cold Lazarus… all those wiggy, provocative Nigel Kneale and Dennis Potter stories that aimed for more than just audience share.

Written by Sherwood and Quiz’s James Graham, and co-created with documentary maker Adam Curtis, The Way also aims high – too high for what it’s able to achieve in three episodes, making it much more a curio than a must-see.

The drama imagines a Welsh civil uprising that turns the country into a closed-border police state and its people into persecution-fleeing refugees. It follows the Driscolls,...

Get ready for the highly anticipated premiere of “The Way” on BBC One, airing at 9:00 Pm on Monday, February 19th, 2024. In Season 1 Episode 1, titled “The War,” viewers are plunged into a gripping tale of family dynamics, personal struggles, and unforeseen challenges.

The episode follows Geoff, a man grappling with the aftermath of his separation from his wife, Dee. His world is turned upside down when he is unexpectedly confronted by someone from his past, forcing him to confront long-buried emotions and unresolved issues.

Meanwhile, their daughter, Thea, finds herself pushed to the limit as she navigates the complexities of her relationship with her brother, Owen, who is battling the world around him. As tensions escalate and emotions run high, a shocking event sends panic rippling through the community, leaving everyone reeling in its wake.

Amidst the chaos, a heated meeting sparks a strike, further intensifying the turmoil and uncertainty gripping the town.

Playwright James Graham has teamed up with Michael Sheen for three part BBC drama, The Way. Here’s the trailer.

Michael Sheen has spent a good portion of his career playing real-life figures, perhaps most notably David Frost in Ron Howard’s film version of Peter Morgan’s Frost/Nixon.

He has also played journalist Robbie Ross in Wilde, writer Jeremy Dyson in The League Of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse, Chris Tarrant in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? scandal drama Quiz and he played a heightened version of himself opposite David Tennant in Staged. He’s about to take on the role of Aneurin “Nye” Bevan in Tim Price’s play Nye at the National Theatre. Likewise, James Graham often writes political plays based around recent events.

The two have now teamed up for BBC drama The Way, which although it takes its inspiration from real events, follows fictional characters.

The synopsis reads as follows:

Ambitious,...

Luke Evans and Callum Scott Howells are among the stars of upcoming BBC drama The Way from Michael Sheen, James Graham and Adam Curtis.

Sheen, who is also directing, will star in The Way with Steffan Rhodri and Mali Harries. The drama, announced in February, comes from Welsh indie Red Seam.

The Way is billed “an emotional and darkly humorous story about what it means to be faced with impossible choices” and follows the Driscoll family, who are forced to escape their small home town, which becomes ground zero of a spiraling civil uprising.

Rhodri (Steeltown Murders, Gavin and Stacey), Harries (Keeping Faith, Hinterland), Sophie Melville (The Pact, Iphigenia In Splott), Scott Howells (It’s A Sin, Cabaret) and Sheen (Staged, Good Omens) lead the cast as the Driscoll family with Maja Laskowska (Trigonometry, Baptise) as a young woman caught up in the family’s escape.

Erin Doherty is opening up about the pressures of being an LGBTQ+ star in the spotlight.

Since landing the role of Princess Anne on “The Crown”, the actress admitted to the Telegraph that she worried about revealing her sexuality.

‘I’m not gonna lie, I won’t name names, but when I got ‘The Crown’, I felt a lot of pressure to withhold my sexuality. There was a period of time when I was like, ‘Do I get to be open about this in order to have a successful career?’ And the fact that that question still went through my mind, and may still go through other people’s minds, is so gutting.”
