While Amazon Prime Video is available in many countries around the world, it's not everywhere.

With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.

We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Amazon Prime Video or other streaming services and tune in.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 trailer

The trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 begins wistfully, set to a remix of Taylor Swift's "August." Belly reflects on how much things are changing — with her relationships to Conrad and Jeremiah, with Susannah, and with the summer home they've all enjoyed for years.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 cast

The cast of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 is led by Lola Tung as Isabel "Belly" Conklin, the show's half-Korean, half-white teen protagonist. 

The other two points of the love triangle are Christopher Briney as Conrad Fisher and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah Fisher. 

Other returning cast members include:

  • Rachel Blanchard as Susannah Fisher
  • Jackie Chung as Laurel Park, Belly's mother
  • Sean Kaufman as Steven Conklin, Belly's brother
  • Colin Ferguson as John Conklin, Belly's father and Laurel's ex-husband
  • Tom Everett Scott as Adam Fisher, the brothers' father and Susannah's husband
  • Alfredo Narciso as Cleveland Castillo, an author and Laurel's love interest
  • Minnie Mills as Shayla, Steven's girlfriend
  • Rain Spencer as Taylor, Belly's best friend from home

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 soundtrack: Taylor Swift songs

As noted above, a slow and dreamy remix of Taylor Swift's "August" off her Folklore album is featured in the The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 trailer. It's followed by "Back to December (Taylor’s Version)" off her recently released rerecording Speak Now (Taylor's Version). 

Jenny Han is an unabashed Swiftie. In the first season, the show incorporated five of Swift's songs And on TikTok, Han revealed that season 2 will play nine more! (Not counting the two in the trailer.)

With Speak Now (Taylor's Version) charting right now, we wouldn't be surprised to hear more songs off that album The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2. "Sparks Fly," "The Story of Us" and "Last Kiss" all seem like prime candidates.
