Heartstopper Deepdives

Joe Locke on Smith Sisters Live on Radio Andy

Netflix Italy may have leaked the name of the Heartstopper movie

I saw this tweet with a screenshot of Netflix Italy's Instagram story and I tried to go look at it myself but couldn't find it so if it was real it's been deleted or disappeared already if it was posted yesterday. I don't know if this is definitely real but it tracks for the international Netflix account oopsies we keep having 😅

Photographer Samuel Dore posted... this... on Instagram stories

Not this being our first picture of set... (I don't have confirmation that he's definitely on the Heartstopper set but he's always been the photographer before so I think it's safe to assume) https://www.instagram.com/stories/samueldoreunitstills/

Also... He changed his Instagram handle. Now I have to go through every. single. picture. that I already edited in that was posted by him (which is...

Heartstopper nominated for Teen Series of the Year at the SEC Awards

Another one of these Brazilian awards, they sure do a lot of those there! Voting starts June 13th here: https://secawards.seriesemcena.com.br/ not sure if non-Brazilian votes will count.

Heartstopper movie makeup team

Jenny Rhodes McLean posted this Instagram story listing everyone on the Heartstopper movie makeup team! The other Instagram story posts are from Liz Martins, who already has a story highlight for the Heartstopper movie on her account! The only returning makeup artist seems to be Katie LaCruz according to this list. As you know from the Deepdives, some of the makeup artists tend to post nice behind the scenes photos and videos, so definitely worth a follow if you want to keep up with it yourse...

Heartstopper movie is officially in production!

https://www.instagram.com/p/DKrQm4BCvGi/

Sure, we thought they had already started, but Patrick shared this on Instagram stories with the caption "day 1 off we go" so I guess it actually is day one now! (And this is the first picture I've added to a new "Heartstopper movie" folder in the drive!)

I have FINALLY sorted the season 3 pictures in the Google drive into episode folders!

...I am SO sorry it took me this long!!!! I got it in my head somehow that I need to fully know what episode every picture goes in before I can sort it out for you all but I still have a few pictures I haven't sorted into a definitive episode folder so I just have to put those in the main folder and update the sorting once I figure them out. (Also, if any of you happen to know where Naomi is wearing an orange jumper please let me know, I CANNOT find what episode that's from and it's driving m...

Casting call for extras for what definitely looks like the Heartstopper movie

"16-24 Year olds for Major Feature Film"

"Major Feature to conclude global smash hit TV series."

"Filming around Slough, West London."

I mean yeah. It's definitely the Heartstopper movie. I saw @merelisnotabird on twitter post that they found this same casting call on the Film & TV Casting Calls UK Facebook and Instagram. I went through those and couldn't find it...

Jenny Walser talks briefly about the Heartstopper movie in a formula one podcast

They talk about whether any other Heartstopper cast members are into formula one at 8:37-9:26 and general stuff about Heartstopper and movie 24:01-30:00 (thank you Youtube audio transcript for letting me skim and skip to the part I care about LOL)

When I started this project I sure didn't expect it would involve me having to listen to a formula one podcast for a vague confirmation quote that the movie we know will be made is, in fact, being made. This will most likely not even make it i...

Joe talks about why they ended up doing a movie instead of season 4 in new interview

Most of this interview is about Agatha All Along, the Heartstopper movie bit is on a page 2.

Heartstopper movie director Wash Westmoreland is location scouting in Leeds

https://www.instagram.com/p/DKB1jWhtqnB/

It's not certain that this is for Heartstopper though! But it makes sense because Nick is going to go to Leeds uni. He's probably posting about it because he's from Leeds himself.

Heartstopper, Kit Connor & Joe Locke on the longlist for the National Television Awards (voting for people in the UK only)

I have learned from past mistakes and will not be attempting to vote because they only count votes from the UK. If you're in the UK, please vote because I can't!!!

So sorry, I completely forgot to post this yesterday because I was busy!

Another clip of Adiescar breaking down the Heartstopper season 1 score

This time the first kiss soundtrack! I can actually use this clip for season 3 music deepdived because this track is used again in season 3 episode 4!

A few Tiktoks of Bradley Riches answering Heartstopper questions on the Bafta awards red carpet

Nothing all that substantial, 2 are just asking his reaction to the movie news, but might as well put them on the other links doc

More of Adiescar Chase breaking down how she made the Heartstopper soundtrack

https://www.instagram.com/p/DJfCBXfupVy/ This bit was not included in the free clips from the onscore course from what I can remember.

Also this video about the fanbase https://www.instagram.com/p/DJWs7ucAoAh/

Update since I posted about it before: Fisayo's Instagram account is back

Just have to update because I reported that it was gone before, but he's posted again today and his account is back.

Video clip of the Joe quote about being an EP on the Heartstopper movie

They clearly realized they made a mistake cutting the most popular, most widely circulated quote of the interview from the video version 😅 I'm glad we have it now! (And I have another potential source for the movie Deepdive script already.)

Joe Locke interview - other Heartstopper links

He answers a question about being an executive producer for the Heartstopper movie in this!

Also there's this video interview (which doesn't include that question that is almost entirely about Agatha All Along but he says really nice things about representation at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1DOjpGL8hI

Adiescar Chase breaks down Heartstopper score

2 chapters of this are free to watch if you log in (I haven't yet but I will later) and the whole 12 part series costs €36.00 (whatever that is in your currency). I'm unsure if I want to pay for the full thing because a) I'm too stingy and b) I don't know how I'd be able to use content behind a paywall for my content anyway since it's not like I can share it. This is meant as a class for composers anyway and I never did music theory so I don't understand a lot of technical music talk so it'...

June 2nd filming start date

People are spreading this screenshot around but I couldn't find where it's from! I tried a few things and I still don't know so I don't even know if it's real.
*EDIT: here's the source! https://productionlist.com/production/heartstopper-2/

Week old Jenny Walser interview - other Heartstopper links

Didn't see this one! The interview itself is from October 2024 so quite old now. No usable quotes for me.

Why TF did they put 'bisexuality' in little half quotation marks like that though...

Fisayo Akinade has deleted his Instagram account

Apparently like a month ago, I just hadn't noticed. Saw people talking about it on Twitter. Thankfully I have the Heartstopper posts saved but still, bummer. He didn't have an account for a long time and made one relatively recently so I guess he just didn't want to keep it up.

Interview with Alice about the movie

First article for my movie sources list that I have now added in the Google Drive!
