The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie Confirmed After Emotional Series Finale: What Fans Can Expect Next
The hit Amazon Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty may have wrapped its third and final season, but the story isn’t ending just yet. In a surprise announcement that thrilled fans worldwide, author Jenny Han confirmed that the beloved teen romance will continue in a brand-new movie.
Jenny Han Confirms The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie
Speaking at the show’s finale red carpet in Paris, Jenny Han revealed that the movie will serve as the ultimate conclusion to Belly’s journey.
“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due,” Han said. “I’m so grateful to Prime Video for supporting my vision and making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans.”
Han, who wrote the original The Summer I Turned Pretty book trilogy, will return to pen the screenplay, ensuring that the film stays true to her storytelling.
How the Series Finale Sets Up the Movie
The finale left fans with plenty of unanswered questions. The third season deviated from Han’s books, creating suspense and unexpected twists.
-
Belly (Lola Tung) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) broke off their engagement.
-
Conrad (Christopher Briney) appeared at the airport, a plotline not found in the original novels.
-
The show ended with Belly and Conrad together, but not married — a major change from the book We’ll Always Have Summer.
In the books, Belly and Conrad exchange letters during her time abroad, later reuniting at her college graduation and getting married. With the series skipping the wedding, fans are convinced the movie will finally deliver that long-awaited moment.
