Here's why 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is saying goodbye after season 3
Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty is gearing up for a highly anticipated return with season 3, which will also mark the end of the fan-favorite series. Based on Jenny Han's beloved novel trilogy, the show follows Belly Conklin as she navigates the tangled emotions of love, friendship, and family during her yearly stays at Cousins Beach with brothers Conrad and Jeremiah. Season 1 introduced the charm and drama of Belly's coming-of-age story, capturing her evolving feelings for the Fisher brothers. Season 2, adapted from It's Not Summer Without You, dove deeper into heartbreak, family tragedy, and emotional conflicts as the group grappled with Susannah's illness. Season 3, which is based on the final book, We'll Always Have Summer, is expected to bring closure to Belly's love triangle and the bittersweet end of her childhood summers. Though the show has been wildly successful since its debut, Prime Video confirmed that season 3 will be its last. The decision to end the series after three seasons reflects a commitment to staying true to Jenny Han's original trilogy. Attempting a fourth season without source material 'has the potential to drag out the story longer than necessary and severely hurt the themes of growing up, friendship, family, and romance.' Viewers might also find an added season 'unnecessary and unfaithful to the original plot,' ultimately weakening the emotional impact the story has built across its three parts. Season 3 premieres July 16, 2025, and promises to give fans a heartfelt conclusion to the story that's defined a generation of summer love.

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.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 teaser: 5 subtle clues you might have missed hinting at Belly and Conrad's future
As the countdown to The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 ticks down, the latest teaser has fans debating over Belly and Conrad's future. Jeremiah's front-and-bold storyline in the teaser slyly hints at a major shift in Belly's journey, and probably her romantic interest, as the show introduces a time jump. After a two-year-long wait, Prime Video has finally confirmed the third season of the summer rom-com is arriving on July 16. The third book in Jenny Han's trilogy, on which the show is based, is flipping a new page in Belly's life, especially after she chose Jeremiah in the last season. Now, the teaser is packed with subtle clues that Conrad's return might just shake things up again. From the choice of Taylor Swift songs to that unexpected door scene, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 teaser A love for all seasons. The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty begins July 16. — Prime Video (@PrimeVideo) April 24, 2025 Taylor Swift song choices: Musical foreshadowing Fans are again divided between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah. But it seems like the teaser's choice of incorporating Taylor Swift 's songs, similar to previous seasons, might be bad news for fans of Jeremiah. The Cruel Summer singer's music, which always mirrors Belly's inner feelings and emotional phases, starts with Swift's 'Daylight' as she happily continues to thrive in a seemingly perfect relationship with Jeremiah, dancing, kissing, long drives and swoon-worthy moments. However, the mood shifts dramatically when Conrad appears, and the song transitions to 'Red', which seems to symbolise that she secretly still harbours feelings for him. The abrupt song change, especially after the line 'I once believed love would be burning red,' followed by the next shot of her opening the door with Conrad standing there and the lyrics switching to, 'But loving him was red,' says a lot about what's coming. Plot sticks to the original Jenny Han's We'll Always Have Summer According to Collider, the upcoming instalment will follow the exact storyline as written in the original novel. A brief scene shows Belly and Conrad unexpectedly meeting at the Cousins Beach house during Christmas (the last door scene). The clip is actually a flashback from We'll Always Have Summer, set around six months before the main events. According to the book, this is the exact time when Belly realises her unresolved feelings for Conrad. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO Visual Cues: Belly's red dress In the teaser, when Belly is with Jeremiah, the whole time she looks happy, seems comfortable and in love, but never once is she seen wearing anything other than light colours. It's mostly beige, blue, or similar shades. However, the moment she meets Conrad, Belly is seen in a red dress. The colour red usually stands for passion and love, maybe hinting at her unresolved feelings for Conrad. This little visual detail lines up perfectly with the song switching to 'Red.' Conrad returns, and the silence The Fisher brothers are two ends of the same thread. One suffers quietly, the other is loud, but they're tied by the same grief for their mom (Susannah died in season 2) and the same love for Belly. That push and pull has been done pretty well so far in The Summer I Turned Pretty. Conrad's deep, intense love is his strength, but the wall he builds around himself can get in the way. Meanwhile, Jeremiah's sunshine energy is out in the open, and so are his feelings for Belly. But this time, the silence could be a game changer for Conrad. This time, he ended up saying more than anything Jeremiah ever could. One of the most powerful bits in the teaser is that short silence right after Conrad says 'Hi'. It's barely a second, but it lingers. A little warning from Jenny Han: Expect some surprises Just when it felt like things were finally settling, with the teaser setting the tone for a perfect happily-ever-after for Belly and Conrad, author Jenny Han, speaking to Entertainment Weekly, dropped a little warning. 'There are the things they know and then there are things they think they know,' she said. So yeah, things might not play out exactly like in the book. With the time jump, every character has changed. Han hinted that while the titular characters will share some big moments, they'll also be rediscovering themselves, seeing how much they've grown and asking, 'Who are they now?' It's not just the same old love triangle anymore. Earlier, a few photos from the upcoming instalment were released, including one where Conrad is seen hanging out at the beach with Belly, Jeremiah, Steven, and Taylor. Jenny clarified that the moment is actually a flashback, not from the current timeline, so yes, there is going to be a lot of back-and-forth. The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 starts streaming from July 16.
