'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Fans Are Loving This ‘To All the Boys' Easter Egg in Season 3
THE RUNDOWN
The Jenny Han Cinematic Universe is thriving. Yesterday's new episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty contains an Easter egg for To All the Boys I Loved Before, another one of Han's beloved book-to-screen trilogies. Did you spot it?
In season 3, episode 1, one scene shows a collection of photos of Belly and Jeremiah on her dorm room wall. One of the snapshots appears to be from Halloween, with the couple dressing up as Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky from To All the Boys. The blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment features Belly wearing Lara Jean's iconic pink jacket and plaid skirt, while Jeremiah wears a brunette wig and sweatshirt. They even recreated one of the couple's poses.
The references don't stop there. Some fans caught parallels between Belly and Lara Jean in a flashback scene to her Christmas at the beach house.
And in a later scene, Belly fills out a crossword that Conrad left behind for her, completing the title of Han's book, P.S. I Still Love You, the follow-up to To All the Boys. Using your own book title to help express your characters' yearning feelings in another series? Clever move, Jenny Han.
Belly's acknowledging the To All the Boys books and movies implies that the two stories aren't set in the same universe. In fact, Han already made that clear in a 2023 interview with W magazine, revealing that Lara Jean is familiar with the Summer I Turned Pretty books in her world, too.
'I have a little Easter egg on the cover of Always and Forever, Lara Jean. There's a copy of The Summer I Turned Pretty on the cover in her bedroom, because I feel like Lara Jean would read that book,' Han said. 'To me, The Summer I Turned Pretty exists in a slightly more grounded universe. And Lara Jean's world feels a little more heightened.'
New episodes of TSITP's third and final season are streaming weekly on Wednesdays on Prime Video.

Selena Gomez Reveals Her Surprising Dream Wedding Dessert for Upcoming Ceremony
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got engaged in December 2024, but not yet revealed their wedding plan. Fans have been wanting to know more details about the upcoming event, and the Only Murder in the Building star finally shared some this week. On her Rare Beauty brand's TikTok account, Gomez shared some of her thoughts on the reception, saying she had some ideas for the dessert. Traditionally, a big wedding cake is expected, but Gomez has other dreams. 'My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy,' she shared. 'My Nana's biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me.' She also explained, 'Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake. I think I'd want a mini one, for just us, that we can freeze.' Gomez previously discussed the first dance between the bride and groom on an episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware, saying she was probably going to skip it. 'I don't think we're looking at having one of those 'cause they're a little—I feel embarrassed,' she said. But she was hoping to be escorted down the aisle by her grandfather. 'He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle,' she explained. 'I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that.' In July, Blanco discussed how planning is going on Jake Shane's podcast, Therapuss. The music producer said that they have both been so busy since the release of their album, I Said I Love You First. 'That's why we both need to chill,' Blanco explained. 'We've both been working so much. We got engaged, and then we were filming music videos for our album. Then it's holidays, then right after the holidays, we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that. Then she left to film her show Only Murders [in the Building] and then I met her, then we hung out for a week, and then right after that, it's promo. And then I'm writing another book, so then I had to write a book, and then she came back for one day here. And then it was my birthday, and you know.' He continued, 'We're both working on so many things that we hadn't even had time to get into it, but we're so excited. I think this summer we're going to sit down and be like, 'Okay, what are we doing, hun?''

'XO, Kitty' Season 3: Everything We Know (So Far!) About the Netflix Series' Next Chapter
The second season of the 'To All the Boys' spinoff premiered in January 2025 XO, Kitty isn't signing off just yet. The Netflix original series — a spinoff of the popular To All the Boys film franchise — follows Kitty Song-Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she moves to Seoul to attend the Korean Independent School of Seoul (K.I.S.S.) and reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae (Choi Min-young). Their reunion proves to be more complicated and dramatic than romantic, leading Kitty to find new friends — and romances — while building a life in the South Korean city. "Immediately when she gets there, within seconds after she sees [Dae], that's all kind of thrown out the window," Cathcart revealed to PEOPLE in May 2023. "And she's thrown upside down into this whole new world that she was not expecting to find in Korea." The first season premiered in May 2023, with the second following in January 2025 — but what is in store for season 3? Here's everything to know about XO, Kitty season 3, including who is being added to the cast and when fans can expect to start a new year at K.I.S.S. Has XO, Kitty been renewed for season 3? Yes, XO, Kitty has been renewed for a third season. Netflix made the announcement in a video posted online on Feb. 14. In the clip, Cathcart accepts a delivery of a bouquet of roses, reading a card that says: "Roses are red, violets are blue, there's a third season of XO, Kitty in store for you!" She then reaches into a gift bag, revealing a season 3 script. "It's official! Season 3 of XO, Kitty is in the works," she says ecstatically. Which cast members are returning for XO, Kitty season 3? The main cast members who play Kitty's friends and K.I.S.S. classmates are returning for the third season. According to Tudum, that includes Cathcart, Minyeong Choi, Gia Kim, Anthony Keyvan, Sang Heon Lee, Regan Aliyah, Hojo Shin, Peter Thurnwald, Joshua Lee, Sasha Bhasin, Michael K. Lee, Jocelyn Shelfo, Philippe Lee, Han Bi Ryu and Sunny Oh. The series is also adding three new cast members to the upcoming season: Sule Thelwell, Soy Kim and Christine Hwang. "Grateful beyond words to join the XO, Kitty family! It's been nothing short of magical," Kim wrote on Instagram in July 2025. "The cast and crew are not only wildly talented, but endlessly kind. I feel so lucky to be part of something special. And witty. And charming." What happened at the end of XO, Kitty season 2? Season 2 ended with Kitty scoring a scholarship to K.I.S.S., securing her return to the school for her senior year. In the finale, Kitty is about to confess her feelings to Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), before he leaves to spend his summer on tour, with his dad, and older brother, pop star Joon Ho (Peniel Shin). The two say goodbye and embrace, almost sharing a kiss. After Min Ho walks away, Kitty yells out, asking if she can join him on the tour. He smiles and nods for her to come along. "I know we left fans on a cliffhanger at the end of Season 2 but I can promise season 3 will be worth the wait, including our first summer episode," season 2 showrunner Jessica O'Toole said at the time of the renewal, per Deadline. "Not to mention plenty of romance, friendship, adventure … and kissing. Lots of kissing." According to Deadline, Valentina Garza, who wrote the season 2 finale and was a writer on seasons 2 and 3, took over as showrunner for the upcoming season. When does XO, Kitty season 3 come out? A premiere date for XO, Kitty season 3 has not been announced, but production on the new set of episodes wrapped in July 2025. On July 17, Netflix posted a behind-the-scenes compilation video on Instagram, with the caption: "Put a bow on it because XO, KITTY: SEASON 3 filming has wrapped!" Cathcart also celebrated the end of filming with an Instagram post showing off some XO, Kitty season 3 pajama pants. "And that's a wrap💌💌 my heart is so full," she wrote in the caption. While there's no release date for the third season, season 2 wrapped production in June 2024 and the season debuted a few months later in January 2025. Where can I watch XO, Kitty? Both seasons of XO, Kitty are available to stream on Netflix. Read the original article on People
