Motherland legend Anna Maxwell Martin is taking over from Olivia Colman as Nick's mother, Sarah. Colman wasn't in season 3 of Heartstopper due to scheduling conflicts, and won't be returning for the film either.
Author Alice Oseman has opened up about Sarah's recasting, telling Tudum: "While in Season 3, we were able to tweak the story to avoid any appearance of Sarah, it felt nonsensical for her to be absent from this final chapter, given some of the emotional struggles Nick faces.
"Sadly, Olivia Colman was not able to join us for the film, so we made the very difficult decision to recast the role, rather than exclude the character. We are deeply grateful for Olivia's beautiful performance as Sarah in Seasons 1 and 2 of Heartstopper, through such iconic moments as Nick coming out as bisexual, and we know that her performance will live on in the hearts of every Heartstopper fan."
"Anna perfectly embodies Sarah’s gentle, down-to-earth energy, and it was magical to witness her scenes with Kit Connor during the film shoot. I can’t wait for Heartstopper fans to experience her interpretation of Sarah Nelson.”
Jacobi, meanwhile, has had a varied career across screen and stage, in the likes of I, Claudius, Cadfael, Gladiator, and The King's Speech.
The movie is set to follow the couple as they navigate a long-distance relationship, with Nick preparing for university and Charlie finding new independence at school.
Heartstopper seasons 1-3 are available to stream on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glassand Virgin Media Stream.
