Belly's love triangle comes to an end: 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 to premiere on July 16
twitter
The popular teen drama 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' will return for its third and final season on July 16, 2025. This new season, based on the final book 'We'll Always Have Summer' by Jenny Han, is expected to wrap up Belly's emotional journey as she finally decides between Conrad and Jeremiah.
The streaming platform confirmed that this season will be longer than the previous ones, with a total of 10 episodes. It was reported that the show was renewed on August 3, 2023, even before the Hollywood strikes began. After those labor disputes ended, the production of Season 3 moved forward.
The storyline will pick up after Belly finishes her junior year at college. At the beginning of the season, she is seen in a relationship with Jeremiah, and they are preparing for another summer at Cousins Beach. However, her peaceful romance is soon shaken when Conrad returns, creating a complicated love triangle once again. This twist will force Belly to confront her lingering emotions for both boys and make a life-changing decision.
A teaser released on April 24 gave fans a quick look at the upcoming drama. The teaser cleverly uses Taylor Swift's songs "Red" and "Daylight" to reflect Belly's feelings — symbolizing the intense, fiery love she once had with Conrad ("burning red") versus the steady and calm relationship she currently has with Jeremiah ("golden daylight").
Fans can also expect to see the return of all the main cast members. Lola Tung will continue in her role as Belly, with Christopher Briney as Conrad and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah. Supporting cast members including Sean Kaufman (Steven), Rain Spencer (Taylor), David Iacono (Cam), and Jackie Chung (Laurel) will also return. There's a chance that Kyra Sedgwick (Aunt Julia) and Elsie Fisher (Skye) will make appearances too.
Although Susannah, played by Rachel Blanchard, died in Season 2, she might still appear in flashback scenes, as her character remains important to the story.
Jenny Han, the creator of the series and the author of the original books, mentioned that while Season 3 will follow the plot of the final novel, there might be some changes to keep the audience surprised. She shared that her goal is to make the ending satisfying for both readers and viewers.
Fans of the series are eager to find out who Belly will finally choose — will it be the deep and emotional connection with Conrad or the stable and caring bond with Jeremiah? The answer will be revealed when the final season premieres this July on Prime Video.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos unsure if launching in India with Sacred Game was ideal, says something ‘more populist' might have worked better: ‘If I did it all over again…'
Sacred Games was the first Indian original series that Netflix ever produced. Starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the show was critically acclaimed, and largely seen as the conduit to a new era of bolder, more challenging programming. The series was based on the book of the same name by Vikram Chandra, and was co-directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap. While it remains one of the most acclaimed series that the Indian streaming industry has produced, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that it was perhaps not the ideal way to enter the Indian market. In an appearance on Nikhil Kamath's podcast, Sarandos admitted that the Indian market is a difficult one to crack, mainly because Indian consumers are inherently suspicious of subscription. Netflix has taken a more populist approach to programming in recent years, and has struck deals with the likes of TV mainstays Kapil Sharma and Ekta Kapoor. During the conversation, Sarandos spoke about Sacred Games, and suggested that it might have painted Netflix out to be too high-brow for the Indian consumer. Also read – Vikramaditya Motwane reacts to Saif Ali Khan trashing Sacred Games season 2, explains 'main reason' it didn't meet expectations Asked about India as a market, and the reality that Netflix doesn't have a significant share of it yet, Sarandos said, 'It took us a couple of years to get the product-market fit right. Our very first Indian original show was Sacred Games. And I thought, 'This is going to be great. People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie, it has movie stars.' What's interesting about it is that it was very, very novel, but what I didn't understand that we were introducing a brand new kind of entertainment in a country the size of India.' He continued, 'For me, if I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later, and did things that were more populist (instead)? Maybe. But we knew that India was going to be a slower journey to get to where we wanted to get to. But it's a great prize, at the end of the day. The addressable market is growing in the next couple of years in India, so it's exciting.' Sacred Games was unofficially cancelled after two seasons. Kashyap said that plans for a third season were underway, but Netflix got cold feet after the controversy that erupted around Prime Video's Tandav. He told Mashable India, 'Vikram Motwane was driving Sacred Games. Ten days before I was supposed to go shoot Mukkabaaz, he asked me to come on board. I told him I was always interested, but they had a problem with me. Some local people had told them that I didn't have a female audience. It was my zone, and they eventually came around… A season three was supposed to come out, but they shut it down, Netflix would know why.' He also criticised Sarandos and Netflix in a social media post following the success of Adolescence, and said that the Indian branch of the streamer wouldn't dare greenlight something like it. 'Netflix India is a totally opposite sh**show. If they were pitched this, most probably they would have rejected it or turned it into a 90 minute film (that too seems like an impossibility because it doesn't have an ending that is black and white),' he wrote.

Taylor Swift Jokes About Getting Her First Tattoo After Buying Back Her Music
Last Updated: The singer revealed that she acquired the master recordings with the help of partners at Shamrock Capital. Bringing a long-running battle over the custody of her music to an end, Taylor Swift recently became the rightful owner of her first six albums. In a letter shared on her website, the singer revealed that she acquired the master recordings with the help of partners at Shamrock Capital. Swift even joked about inking a permanent Shamrock Capital tattoo on her forehead. She wrote, 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made … now belongs … to me. And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Expressing gratitude to the private equity company Shamrock Capital, the singer added, 'My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead." Swift previously said that she was against getting anything permanently inked on her body. 'I don't think I could ever commit," she said in an interview with Taste of Country. 'If I was going to get something, it would be a 13, but, I don't want to get a tattoo." Taylor Swift had been fighting to regain her music rights since 2019 after businessman Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings bought her former record label, Big Machine Label Group, for $330 million. Soon after, Braun sold Swift's masters of her first six albums to Shamrock Capital for $405 million. Back then, Swift had publicly stated she wasn't informed of the deal or given a chance to buy them. She wanted to own her masters and had been working to regain control of her music ever since. During this time, the singer released re-recorded versions of four out of her first six albums, including Fearless, Red, Speak Now and 1989. The two left are her 2006 self-titled debut and 2017's Reputation. Since 2019, starting with her album Lover, Swift has been the rightful owner of her master recordings. First Published:
