The Summer I Turned Pretty season three wrapped up last night with a dramatic finale in Paris. But Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah’s storyline isn’t over yet – with Amazon confirming just hours after the episode dropped that a movie is officially in the works.
The announcement was made at the series finale’s red carpet celebrations and, while the plot remains under wraps, we do know that the film will be written by Jenny Han, who penned the beloved books that the series is based on.
“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due. I’m so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans,” Han said.
The series has won itself a loyal fanbase thanks to tackling themes like coming-of-age and first heartbreak. Closely aligned with the books, The Summer I Turned Pretty follows Belly (Lola Tung) and her childhood family friends, brothers Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). The trio grew up spending every summer at the beach house in Cousins Beach, where Belly has harboured a crush on Conrad. But as she grows up, romance brews with the other brother, Jeremiah.
Over the course of three seasons, tension mounts as the love triangle intensifies. The third and final series consisted of 11 one hour-long episodes and was met with both praise and disappointment, with some important scenes from the third book left out of the adaptation.
So, could the movie make amends? Here’s everything you need to know – plus where to stream every episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty.

What will ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ movie be about?
After the climactic end of season three, fans are hoping there won’t be too long to wait until the story is picked up again in the movie. The exact plot and casting are yet to be announced, but with the third series deviating from the book, the film might still use the novel as its source material. Spoilers ahead, but this means that we could see Belly and Conrad tie the knot. TikTok is full of speculation – including potential romance between Belly’s older brother Steven (Sean Kaufman) and her best friend Taylor (Rain Spencer). With just the writer and co-writer (Sarah Kucserka) confirmed so far, the film likely won’t drop for at least another year – watch this space.
