Netflix is launching its new LGBTQ series 'Soul Mate' on May 14, 2023, following the successful teen romance 'Heartstopper'. Unlike its predecessor, 'Soul Mate' delves into darker themes of loneliness and guilt as it narrates the love story of Ryu Narutuki, an ice hockey player, and Hwang Johan. Their connection, which begins in Berlin, endures through various life challenges and locations, including Tokyo and Seoul, over a span of ten years. The series promises to explore the complexities of love amidst personal struggles. Meanwhile, 'Heartstopper' will conclude with a movie titled 'Heartstopper Forever', set to premiere on July 17, 2023, which will address the realities of long-distance relationships as characters Nick and Charlie navigate their evolving lives.
