'Irresistible' Amazon Prime drama shares stark warning as season 3 launches
However, ahead of the new episodes dropping, the team over at Amazon Prime Video issued a stark warning to fans of the coming-of-age drama in a social media post.
The summer romance with a glossy Gen Z love triangle to keep fans hooked first aired in 2022 and went on to become one of the streamer's most-viewed TV shows.
The official X account for the show has now shared a 'public service announcement' with its community of fans, cautioning viewers against bullying and hate speech towards those involved in the third season.
'Cousins is our safe place,' the post read. 'Everything good, everything magical. Let's keep the conversation kind this summer.'
The post then added: 'We have a ZERO tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech. If you engage in any of the following you will be banned.'

The examples then listed as 'community guidelines' were: no 'hate speech or bullying', 'targeting our cast or crew' and 'harassing or doxxing members of the community'.
Based on the best-selling book trilogy from Jenny Han, the third season is set four years on from the events of the second.
Belly (Lola Tung) has to-ed and fro-ed between the equally handsome Fisher brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) for several episodes now, and is presumably set to make a concrete decision at the end of this 11 episode run.
She's finished her junior year of college at Finch University and is now set to marry Jeremiah (Conrad fans look away now, there's lots of loved up 'Jelly' scenes coming).
But just in the nick of time it looks like Conrad might actually have grown up to be worthy of Belly's affections.
He's a doctor with a new sense of purpose and perspective – but is it enough to make Belly once again detonate her perfectly happy love life? We'll have to tune in to find out.
It might not come as a total surprise that the production issued the warning to fans, given that viewers have had fierce 'ships' of who should end up with who from the off. It's Team Conrad vs Team Jeremiah.
The first season holds an 86% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with YouTuber Perri Nemiroff dubbing it 'an irresistible summer escape'.
Additionally, fans have shared their own thoughts on the show so far, with Ranyoun Rania writing in her Google review: 'I adore this series so much. More Trending
'I only saw it on Prime Video today and watched all 7 episodes in that entire night and went to bed at 6 am but it was totally worth it.'
Arnold Bisoborwa added: 'The Summer I Turned Pretty is a heartwarming and nostalgic coming-of-age series that perfectly captures the magic of first love, family bonds, and the bittersweetness of growing up.'
Sarah Smith also said they were kept up late watching the show, writing: 'This is the best show I have watched in a long time. I literally stayed up all night to finish.'

Ten emojis used differently between generations, and what they mean to Gen Z

Studies suggest people's interpretation of emojis can vary based on age, gender, culture and more But there appear to be a big generation gap, with Gen Z having their own emoji-based slang A language expert says older users tend to take the pictures at face-value But their alternate meanings are often a little more ironic Once a simple and playful way to add some feeling to online messages – emojis have evolved into something resembling a language all of their own. Thursday (July 17) is World Emoji Day. But far from being universally understood, language experts say the colourful icons that punctuate our texts and chats can mean very different things to different people. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A 2024 University of Nottingham study found that age, gender, and culture all impacted what people understood emojis to mean. It was even a plot point in this year's Netflix smash hit series Adolescence, with teens using emojis to communicate with and even bully each other – with adults none the wiser. To mark the occasion, language learning platform Babbel and online emoji reference site Emojipedia have shared some of the most commonly misunderstood emojis between people of different ages. Babbel linguistic and cultural expert Noël Wolf said that while older users tend to take them at face value, younger generations – especially Gen Z – have crafted an often-ironic emoji language, shaped by internet culture, memes, and platform censorship. 'This evolving emoji code isn't just about playfulness – it's strategic,' she said. 'On platforms where moderation is high, emojis offer a way to communicate emotion, sarcasm, or critique without triggering censorship. In that sense, they've become both creative and adaptive tools – helping users navigate social dynamics while retaining a sense of privacy or belonging within their digital communities. Younger users have created their own emoji-based slang, language experts say | (Image: National World/Adobe Stock) 'The result is that the same symbol can signal warmth to one person, indifference to another, and humour to a third - depending not just on age, but on digital fluency and cultural exposure. That's what makes emojis so fascinating - and so easy to misread,' she continued. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Here are the top 10 emojis Babbel says are often used differently across the generations: 1. 💀 Skull Gen Z: Means 'I'm dead' – used to express laughter and amusement. Older Generations: Used literally to reference death or danger. 2. 👍 Thumbs up Gen Z: Seen as passive-aggressive or dismissive; often used ironically. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Older generations: Sincerely used to show approval, agreement, or encouragement. 3. 🙂 Slightly smiling face Gen Z: Seen as passive-aggressive, insincere, or masking discomfort – also often used ironically. Older generations: Used to express friendliness or politeness. 4. 😭 Loudly crying face Gen Z: Used to express laughter or emotional overreaction in a humorous way. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Older generations: Used to convey disappointment or sadness. 5. 👨🦯 Person with white cane Gen Z: Used sarcastically to imply wilful ignorance, such as 'pretending not to see.' Older generations: Rarely used at all, Ms Wolf says, and it's often interpreted as a literal representation of visual impairment or accessibility. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 6. 🗿 Moai Gen Z: Represents emotional detachment or deadpan humour – often used ironically. Older generations: Another one that's rarely used, the linguistics experts says it is often literally interpreted as a statue. 7. 🧍 Person standing Gen Z: Conveys awkwardness, discomfort, or passivity in a situation. Older generations: Yet another less common emoji, Ms Wolf says it tends to be understood literally as a depiction of a standing person. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 8. 🧢 Billed cap Gen Z: Slang symbol for 'cap' , which means to lie, as opposed to 'no cap', which means telling the truth. Older generations: Rarely used, and likely interpreted literally as a hat emoji. 9. 💅 Nail polish Gen Z: Symbolises confidence, sass, indifference, or showing off. Older generations: Used literally to reference beauty, self-care, or even manicure plans.

Older generations: Viewed more literally as disappointment or sadness.

The Summer I Turned Pretty fans 'work out' S3 ending after spotting Easter Egg
The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are already convinced they have worked out the show's endgame after spotting a major clue. WARNING: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3. The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are convinced they've uncovered a hidden clue hinting at Belly's endgame. Drawing from Jenny Han's cherished book series, the teen drama has launched into its third and concluding series. This chapter centres on protagonist Belly Conklin's (Lola Tung) choice between remaining with current partner Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno) or pursuing lingering emotions for his sibling Conrad (Christopher Briney). The opening two episodes are currently available on Prime Video, with subsequent instalments scheduled for Wednesday releases. Following the debut episodes, audiences have highlighted striking similarities between the teenage series and beloved comedy Friends, sparking speculation about potential character developments. During the opening episode, Belly uncovers Jeremiah cheated on her during Spring Break, whilst their relationship was experiencing difficulties. Upon this revelation, she confronts her partner demanding answers, reports the Mirror US. "I didn't mean for this to happen, it was a mistake," Jeremiah protested. Belly then retorted: "A mistake? "Like what you tripped and you fell on top of her naked?" Jeremiah explained: "It happened when we were on a break. When we were broken up." Viewers have noticed that the dramatic scene bears a striking resemblance to the infamous break up between Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) in the beloved sitcom. During their relationship hiatus, Ross ends up sleeping with someone else, leaving Rachel absolutely furious when she discovers the truth. When challenged about his actions, Ross protested: "It was a mistake, I made a mistake!" Rachel's incredulous response was: "A mistake?" "What were you trying to put it in, her purse?" Ross eventually justifies his behaviour by declaring: "I though we were broken up." Jeremiah's desperate apology to Belly eerily echoes Ross's emotional plea to Rachel. Both characters are shown on their knees before their partners, desperately seeking forgiveness. Fans were swift to spot the parallels, with one TikTok user commenting: "As soon as he said 'we were on a break' I was like what is this Friends?" Another quipped: "Welcome back Ross Geller," while a third observed: "The fact that Belly's and Rachel's lines are almost identical." Some viewers have theorised that this seemingly deliberate nod could be foreshadowing Belly and Jeremiah ending up together at the end of season three, mirroring how Ross and Rachel ultimately reconcile in Friends. One fan noted: "Only difference [is] Rachel walked away and Belly is getting married," prompting another to point out: "I mean Rachel still ended up with Ross and his baby..." Other social media users concurred, speculating that Belly and Jeremiah might reconcile and possibly start a family. After the second episode, which depicts Jeremiah proposing to Belly, this theory could hold some weight. However, viewers will have to patiently wait for the upcoming episodes to see where this dramatic love triangle is headed.

Emmy-nominated action film starring James Bond favourite now on Netflix
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Netflix's original film Rebel Ridge flew relatively under the radar at the time of its release, but thanks to a recent Emmy nomination, it's finally getting the attention it deserves. The high-octane 2024 film from filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier is in the running for Best Television Movie at the 2025 Emmys, up against Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, The Gorge, Mountainhead, and Nonnas. With a 95% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and a star-making turn from Bond frontrunner Aaron Pierre, it's easy to see why fans are flocking to watch Rebel Ridge. Written, directed, produced, and edited by Saulnier (Green Room, Hold the Dark), Rebel Ridge combines edge-of-your-seat suspense with sharp political undercurrents. The story follows Terry Richmond (Pierre), who arrives in the quiet town of Shelby Springs with a simple mission: post bail for his cousin.

Teaming up with principled court clerk Summer McBride (AnnaSophia Robb), Terry uncovers a web of corruption that stretches far beyond a single arrest. As the stakes escalate, his mysterious past resurfaces – and it may be the town's only hope for justice. The ensemble cast also features David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell. The film was honored with Best Movie Made for Television at the 30th Critics' Television Awards, adding awards recognition to its critical success. Reviewers have praised Rebel Ridge for its razor-sharp direction and Pierre's breakout performance, with the Rotten Tomatoes consensus declaring: 'An intelligent and gripping vehicle for Aaron Pierre's star-making performance, Rebel Ridge lays down the law on its action-thriller contemporaries.' Given the high quality of the film, some have wondered why it went straight to Netflix, with The Guardianarguing it should have gotten a major cinematic release: '… a movie that deserved the very most somehow saddled with the very least.' More Trending The rave review concludes: 'There's such electricity to Rebel Ridge – I just hope enough people get the chance to feel it.' Meanwhile, New York Magazine calls it an 'instant slow-burn action classic.' Whether you're in it for the explosive action, layered storytelling, or to see what might just be a preview of the next James Bond in action, Rebel Ridge is streaming now on Netflix. Got a story?
