The Summer I Turned Pretty S3: Makers warn ‘heartbreaking' finale as Belly Conrad's story diverges from the Book
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, which is also going to be the franchise finale, might not turn out as expected. If you have read the original Jenny Han novel and are rooting for a happy ending for Belly and Conrad, the makers seem to be preparing for an emotional finale instead. While it's not certain whether the finale will side with Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah, there's going to be heartbreak, and everyone involved knows it. The show stars Lola Tung (Belly), Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah), and Christopher Briney (Conrad). A few days ago, a set video leaked where the cast was seen soaking in the sun, and when Belly and Conrad's eyes meet, he gives her a thumbs up. Fans took it as a sign that a happy ending is on the way, however, it was later revealed that the scene was shot after the finale wrapped and has nothing to do with the finale itself. Also read: The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 teaser: 5 subtle clues you might have missed hinting at Belly and Conrad's future The Amazon Prime Video show is based on Jenny Han's YA book trilogy. The first season premiered in 2022 and became an instant hit. Season 2, which dropped in 2023, was even bigger and ended with Belly breaking things off with Conrad and choosing his younger brother Jeremiah instead. Since then, the fandom has remained divided between the two brothers. Now, season 3 finally arrives on July 16, and the big question is: who will Belly choose this time? In the book, the female lead ends up with Conrad. But Jenny Han, in a recent interview with ET, warned fans not to assume anything beforehand. 'There are surprises. And there are things that aren't exactly like the books,' Han teases. The story stretched so long that the makers even debated splitting it into two parts, but ended up with showrunner Sarah Kucserka deciding to give us a supersized final season, 11 episodes. 'Three books, three seasons. It feels right to me,' she says. The cast, on the other hand, are enjoying watching fans online trying to guess what happens next. But they're all very tight-lipped about the ending, and even during interviews, they sidestep questions about the finale. 'You don't really know,' says Gavin with a smile. 'You have no clue,' adds Lola. Briney jokes, 'You haven't read the scripts!' All those smirks and mysteries are enough to give fans butterflies in their stomachs. But the biggest bombshell comes from Jenny Han, who isn't interested in giving readers the same ending twice. She wants fans to watch the show and feel that nervous excitement. 'That's an experience worth protecting,' she says. 'Whether they want me to or not.' The makers, however, never revealed whether the changes would impact the original storyline and ending. She knows the Conrad vs. Jeremiah debate is intense online, but in the end, the cast knows they can't make everyone happy. 'I have to please myself first, as a storyteller,' Han says. 'Even if people aren't happy, they know they're getting a good, quality story,' Lola added. The show picks up two years after season 2 ended. Earlier, the full trailer of The Summer I Turned Pretty was released, teasing Belly and Jeremiah's love story and happy dating life as they go back and forth between college and home, which feels lonely after the brothers' mom died. But Belly's presence keeps sunshine alive. The teaser in the last episode showed Conrad making his comeback, and just then, Taylor Swift's songs do enough to create excitement as the music changes from Daylight to Red, signifying Belly's inner feelings for Conrad as their eyes meet.

The Summer I Turned Pretty teases its endgame with a reference to classic film
The Summer I Turned Pretty will take fans to Cousins Beach for the last time, with the return of a beloved character shaking up Belly's relationship - and fans are guessing how it will end The trailer of the third and final season of Amazon Prime's The Summer I Turned Pretty is finally out, and the internet hasn't stopped talking about it. Fan theories are building momentum as some think the promotional poster might be hinting at another love triangle between continuing her relationship with Jeremiah or going back to her first love, Conrad. But who will she choose? Fans think they already know. As fans await Belly's final decision between pursuing her relationship with Jeremiah or giving it a last chance with Conrad, fans have figured out who she will choose based on the promo poster that resembles a classic Audrey Hepburn movie. The Summer I Turned Pretty is making its big return this summer after a year. For those needing a refresher (spoiler alert), Belly Conklin (played by actress Lola Tung), makes a pivotal decision between the Fisher brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). After an emotional journey of personal growth, Belly ultimately chooses Jeremiah in the final of series two. The last scene of the second season shows the start of the couple's relationship, with Conrad accepting his loss and deciding to walk away to Cousins Beach. The teaser trailer for Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty shows a glimpse of Belly's happy relationship with Jeremiah. Set to Taylor Swift 's songs Daylight and Red (Taylor's Version), the endgame romance is then disturbed by Conrad's unexpected return, complicating Belly's emotions - again. The season is based on Jenny Han's final book in the bestselling trilogy, We'll Always Have Summer. It follows Belly at the end of her junior year at college, facing adulthood and her romance between the two siblings. But did The Summer I Turned Pretty just tease its endgame couple? To announce the show's premiere, which is July 16, 2025, Prime Video dropped an image of Belly being kissed on her cheek by Jeremiah, as Conrad looks at him while standing next to her. Whether it was intentional or not, fans couldn't stop pointing out the similarities to Audrey Hepburn's 1954 movie, Sabrina. A fan wrote: 'Posting as well because the layers of this go CRAZY!! The Summer I Turned Pretty poster is literally based off of 'Sabrina' (1954). Not only did they watch it at the drive in [season 1], but... who is on the left… is who Sabrina ends the film with,' with a second user replying: 'Yeah, it was a dead giveaway.' Posting the two images from Aubrey Hepburn's film Sabrina and the teaser poster of The Summer I Turn Pretty, another fan said: 'Yup. Looks about right.' A fourth fan reacted: "The songs are cherry on top," with another one commenting: "Y'all knew to put the real [relation]ship at the end." Interestingly, in Season 1 of the series, Belly watched an Audrey Hepburn movie. In episode four, titled 'Summer House', Belly and Conrad watched Roman Holiday. The scene marked a significant part of their relationship as it deepened their connection. There have also been small references to the character throughout the seasons, such as Belly's black dress reminiscing Audrey's iconic look in Breakfast at Tiffany's. But for now that's all speculation. Fans will have to wait until the show airs in July to find out who Belly ends up choosing, once and for all, when The Summer I Turn Pretty returns for its final season.

So we've really just been trying to enjoy ourselves and make the most of it.' Kai Lo recently debuted their "Depth" collection, which is now available for purchase online.

Taylor Swift Sings ‘Daylight' as the Sun Sets on ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' in Teaser Trailer
The Summer I Turned Pretty will return for its third and final season on July 16 via Prime Video. The 11-episode sunset season welcomes back main character Belly (Lola Tung), now in college, as she explores her relationship with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and tries to make sense of whatever lingering feelings she might have for his brother and her first love, Conrad (Christopher Briney). The first teaser trailer for the finale also sees the return of another familiar character in the series: Taylor Swift. 'I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you/I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you/I've been sleepin' so long in a twenty-year dark night/And now I see daylight, I only see daylight,' Swift sings as the Lover cut 'Daylight' rings out in the first few months of the teaser. The song overlays clips of Belly and Jeremiah cruising in the summer sun, kissing in the library, and slow dancing under purple lights. She's all smiles, hopeful she's found her happily ever after.

There's a moment in the bridge of 'Daylight' where Swift sings, 'I once believed love would be (Burnin' red)/But it's golden/Like daylight.' But where that lyric might fit into the clip, one more fitting for the occasion is dropped in: 'But loving him is red.' 'Red (Taylor's Version)' and 'Daylight' are the latest songs from Swift to lend harmony to The Summer I Turned Pretty universe. The premiere of 'This Love (Taylor's Version)' arrived in the debut trailer for the series, which premiered in 2022. Trailers for season two featured 'August' and 'Back to December (Taylor's Version).' Jenny Han, author of The Summer I Turned Pretty and a self-proclaimed Swiftie, wove pieces of her music throughout the series to create a few invisible strings of her own. The first time Conrad appears in season one, Belly's dizzying awe is set to the sound of 'Lover.' When he steps in to rescue her from dancing alone at a ball later in the season, the opening chords of 'The Way That I Loved You (Taylor's Version)' kick in. In season two, the show featured 'Last Kiss (Taylor's Version),' 'Invisible String,' 'Sweet Nothing,' the yet-to-be-released 'Delicate (Taylor's Version),' and more. 'I think Belly could be Folklore maybe, it's a very reflective time for Belly,' Tung told a fan during a press event for season two when asked to which era their characters were in. 'Jeremiah might be in his Reputation era, and I think Conrad, Conrad could be one of the earlier albums. I think he could be in his Red era.'
