Jenny Han Teases ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 Ending
Jenny hinted at a twist ending during an appearance on this week's Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast. When the host suggested that the show had to end with Belly making a choice between Conrad and Jeremiah—it is the love triangle at the center of the series, after all—Jenny disagreed. 'Well, she doesn't,' the writer said. 'I don't think she has to choose one.'
Could Jenny really be saying that season 3 might end with Belly choosing...none of the above? In the books—spoiler alert!—Belly ends up marrying Conrad in the future, years after her engagement to Jeremiah (which we will see in season 3) ends. But back in March, Jenny hinted that the end of the show might be very different.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Jenny mentioned that the season would include a few curveballs for fans of the trilogy. 'There are the things that they know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them,' she said.
Jenny's statements are cryptic for sure, but do they really mean that Belly will end up choosing herself in the end? I'm not convinced. Despite telling Rachel Martin that she doesn't 'like too neat of an ending,' Jenny also said, 'My biggest thing is I really want people to love it, and I want people to feel satisfied with it.'
As a lover of the show, I can say with absolute certainty that if Belly ends up alone—without even a hint of a future with either Conrad or Jeremiah—the fans will not be satisfied. Personally, I'm hoping that what Jenny means by Belly not needing to choose is that the choice might be made for her, whether that means she gets dumped by Jeremiah or Conrad decides he's destined to brood by himself forever. Whatever happens, I will be watching.
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 premieres Wednesday, July 16, on Prime Video.

This 'Parks and Rec 'character is Adam Scott's pick to get a spinoff: 'I'd like to see how that worked out'
Scott says he'd love to see if "there were any scandals" with this fan-favorite character, "or if he was able to keep his powder dry." Everyone else is doing it, so why can't Parks and Recreation have a reboot? While various members of the Parks cast and crew have expressed their interest in a reboot, revival, or some kind of return to the beloved fictional town of Pawnee, Ind., no formal plans have yet materialized. But the powers that be likely haven't heard star Adam Scott's bright idea. Scott sits down with Entertainment Weekly Editorial Director Gerrad Hall on this week's episode of EW's Awardist podcast to discuss his freshly Emmy-nominated performance in the Apple TV+ thriller series Severance. Noting that The Office, the mockumentary series that informally spawned Parks, is getting its own spinoff called The Paper, Hall asks Scott, "Of the Parks and Rec characters, is there one specifically you would love to catch up with now, see where they're working, find out what they're doing?" Scott responds without hesitation, and his pick might surprise loyal Parks fans. "Probably Jerry [Jim O'Heir]," Scott replies. "I think because when we left the show, he was mayor, still, of Pawnee. I'd like to see how that worked out, if there were any scandals or if he was able to keep his powder dry and run the town in the way we know it should be run." Indeed, when Parks and Rec wrapped up its seventh and final season in 2015, viewers didn't have to guess where all their favorite characters would end up. The series informed them — Six Feet Under style, but without all the doom and gloom — by flashing into the future and offering closure for each beloved alum of the Pawnee Parks Department. O'Heir's Garry Gergich, mean-spiritedly referred to as "Jerry" throughout most of the series, is Parks' perpetual underdog — overlooked, undervalued, and even mocked for his enduringly sunny outlook. Which is what makes the great fortune bestowed upon him by the Parks finale so sweet. The character is elected mayor of Pawnee in a write-in campaign coup, a position he happily holds until his 100th birthday. "I don't know how my life could get any better than this," he tells Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope in one of their final scenes together. "I feel like Jerry would've done a terrific job," Scott continues, and adds one more idea to boot. "I think also Tom would be a good one to check in with, find out what's going on with Tom, with [Aziz Ansari's] character," he says. Similarly to Garry/Jerry, Ansari's Tom Haverford finds a happy ending in the Parks finale, though one that doesn't come without its hitches, meaning it could make for great spinoff fodder. , On the finale episode "One Last Ride," Tom continues to operate his "classy, authentic" restaurant, Tom's Bistro, which has become the most successful chophouse in Pawnee. However, an economic recession throws open a money pit that pulls Tom's Bistro. But with the help of new wife Lucy (Natalie Morales), Tom writes a bestselling book, which he naturally parlays into a lucrative motivational speaking gig. Tom and Garry/Jerry are prime candidates for a Parks spinoff, and in 2022, one of the series' most key players signaled her openness for more. Poehler, who also produced the series, said she was "always standing by" for a Parks reboot. "Anytime anybody gives me the word, and I'm down."
