A British coming-of-age television series created for Netflix, Heartstopper( 2022- 2024) is based on Alice Oseman’ s webcomic and graphic novel series of the same name. Telling the love story of Nick Nelson and
Charlie Spring, the series has been praised for its cinematography, stellar soundtrack and use of traditional animations onscreen.
One of the most popular scenes of the show comes at the end of season one, when Nick and Charlie spend a day at the seaside, the beach scene of which was filmed in Herne Bay. Where colourful beach huts line the shores, eager-eyed fans will be able to spot neighbouring orange and blue huts where the actors Kit Connor and Joe Locke once ran across the pebbles on our screens. To make an afternoon out of the visit, The Green Door Deli on William Street offers sandwiches, toasties, sausage rolls and everything in between. A great spot for a slice of cake and cup of coffee, make sure to grab a window seat to truly immerse yourself in the cafe’ s seaside charm. Author Alice Oseman recently announced that the conclusion to the Heartstopper story will come with a feature film set to begin filming this summer. Speaking with Netflix’ s Tudum, she said:“ I want the movie to capture this transitional moment for [ Nick and Charlie ] as a couple- from teens to adults, from teen romance to forever love, from past to future.”
