The show creator previously confirmed in March that the sixth title would be the last in the graphic novel series, with Oseman wanting to explore new writing opportunities.
"I'd love to try writing more for screen," they told People Magazine at the time. "I've really enjoyed writing the TV show and I would love to do more of that, whether that's something original or I would love to try adapting someone else's book."
Fans of the TV series, which is based on Oseman's novels, were treated to further good news late last month, with new details of season three revealed.

In additional casting news, Marvel star Hayley Atwell and Back to Black's Eddie Marsan were also announced as having roles in Heartstopper's third season.
Sadly, Wonka star Olivia Colman, who played Nick's mum in the first two series will not be returning for season three, with the actor citing scheduling conflicts as the reason.
"I couldn't do number three," she said in an interview. "I couldn't fit it in. I feel awful about that. I feel like I was part of one of the most beautiful things I've ever been part of."
Filming on the upcoming season officially wrapped last December, with Netflix confirming last month that eight new episodes will be released on the streaming service on October 3.
Heartstopper seasons 1-2 are streaming on Netflix. Season 3 will premiere on Netflix on October 3.
