'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 cast tease show's finale: 'It feels so bittersweet'
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 lands on Prime Video July 16, the final season of the show adapted from Jenny Han's book trilogy. Starring Lola Tung as Belly, Christopher Briney as Conrad and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah, fans are waiting to see the outcome of this love triangle. The show's stars, including Tung, Sean Kaufman, Jackie Chung, Rain Spencer, Tom Everett Scott, and author and co-showrunner Han herself, spoke to Yahoo Canada about the upcoming season of the hit series, including remembering their final days on set and the "bittersweet" ending to the show. Additionally, spilling secrets about what to expect in the evolution of the show's complex relationships. Jenny, I want to start with you because I think one thing that this series has done so successfully and it's kind of been teased to happen in season 3 is taking what you've written but really making the changes necessary for it to be on screen, being able to adapt it and surprise people who kind of read the story and know where it's going and new fans. What do you think about this in terms of really being able to achieve that? I hope we achieved it. I think I like both of us, we couldn't be more proud, I think of the work that we did this season. I think it really comes together beautifully. Um, I think the intention is always to honor um the original fans of the story and also bring like some new things, um, to the table as well just to keep things exciting. I mean, for me, I always have to be um excited about whatever I'm doing and, and, um. And feel um energized, I guess, to tell the story and and um and play in the world. Well, obviously your Taylor Swift fandom has, you know, gone viral and people love it. Um, if you could kind of assign a song to where we see Belly in season 3, what would you pick? Um, I would say, I'm trying to think, it's probably something a little later on. Don't blame me. Well, when we first see her at the beginning of the season, um, that's crazy. I think like there's midnight rain, there's bejeweled. Maybe. Yeah, she's having fun. She's in college. Yeah, she's going out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At least for the street of committed relationship. But she's yeah, but she has friends. She has a lot of friends at school and has her own passions and um hobbies outside of her relationship, which is also really important, um, and is figuring out who she wants to be as her own person, which I think is very bejeweled. I agree with you. Lola, what was it like for you to be able to kind of come back to belly but a couple years later, there's like a little bit of maturity there. She's in a different point in her life. Totally. I mean, we had a year off because of the strike, so I kind of got 2 years off between filming season 2 and season 3. Which kind of was, yeah, I mean, similar because there's a time jump, a little bit more, 4 years, but I was, I ended up playing my own age, which was kind of cool. I feel like that doesn't happen that often. Um, and I felt like over those 2 years, I had grown so much, and I know that Belly had also grown so much over the 4 years that we didn't see her. So it was cool, um, going into season 3 with a sort of new perspective and all the lessons that I've learned in my life and all the lessons that I knew. Um, Belly had learned and was going to learn this season, I guess. I think that's the coolest part about it is that you get to bring all that into the character, and I think it just really um deepens and, like, enriches um the story, you know, when you can bring your own lived experience to it. Mhm. Most women watching will know that, like, your relationship with your mom when you're like 16, your relationship with your mom when you're in college can look very different. What was it like to be able to kind of expand on that and see the evolution of that relationship as we go into season 3? Oh, that's a good question. Um, I think when I think back to being in high school and, like, just the ways that I feel like I was just so impatient with my mom and, like, so mean, you know, where it's constantly like, mom, you know, it just always. I think I still sound like that, um, but where you're often locked in battle a lot, um, with your mom, I think because it's like you're coming into your own, you want independence, you want to like make up your own mind about things, but you're still living. under her roof, and you actually don't have much control over, you know, if, if one day your um parent was like, we're moving because I got a job change, we're going to a new state. You don't really get a say in whether or not you're staying or going, and I think that can feel um I don't know, really like confining. So, but then when you have the space to go out to college and kind of forge your own path a little bit, then I think you can have more grace. For your parent, when you come back home and you can see them more as people, and I think that, um, for Belly and Laurel as Belly gets older, They really are seeing each other more as people and more, um, on a more equal footing and respecting, I mean, they're really similar though too, and that's the thing that also happens where like teenagers are often pretty stubborn when it comes to their parents like you were saying and don't always want to listen even if what their parents are saying is probably for the best. But then, you know, Billy, I think, continues to be pretty stubborn just as a person that's how she is, which is amazing because it makes her headstrong and driven and determined, um, but she is stubborn and she definitely gets that from Laurel, so like they're both stubborn, you know, for sure and really, um, want what's best for each other. The way that they think is best, you know. And I think now starting to again see each other's humanity in a different way. And the older you get, the more you're able to um not to see mom as mom, but mom as like a person. We're getting married. I'm sorry, what? Did you know? No, Billy, honey, you two aren't ready for a commitment like this. You're talking about a lifetime. Though I want to be with Billy for a lifetime, I can commit to that. Easy. That is how I know you aren't ready. I feel like, I don't know, when you're in high school, you're still a kid, and then when you jump to college, all of a sudden you, you know, you've already turned 18, you're now an adult, and so I think some of the decisions that you make, um, have bigger repercussions, perhaps, um. And so I think where we are is that Laurel is always there for her daughter, um, and always supportive of her, but they don't always agree on the decisions. I think with like any parent, you're trying to guide your kid, but you don't always agree with what they're doing. And so, sometimes they're on the same page and sometimes they are not. Tom, for you, I think for your character, obviously, you know, season 2, we really wanted him to make the right decision with the house and, and happily we kind of got there. Um, was it interesting to step into a season 3 where at least it seems like he has a bit of a better relationship with his kids going into it. Yeah, uh, you know, I agree. I really love that scene. Um, that was fun to play in season two. It was very, uh, emotional, and you see Adam break a little bit, you know, break down a little bit about, you know, Susannah and how hard that is for him too, and, uh, he is being a jerk, but then he does soften. I mean, he is completely ambushed in that moment. You're welcome. Um, and I think you see a little bit of that coming back together with the boys and at the beginning of season 3. He's certainly a little better off with Jeremiah, but there is still quite a gap with him and Conrad. Um, so Adam is working hard, or working as best as he can, at making amends with his sons. Because when we enter season 3, there is a little bit of a time jump. What's particularly interesting about that for each of your characters, if you want to start? I think that within that time, and then at the start of season 3, there's a lot of change that goes on. I think that's the keyword that I've been kind of using, um, but four years is a lot, and four years means that we're not at the same place where we left off at season 2. That's correct. And I think that people will be surprised to know that throughout the four years, there have been some ups and downs, and it's been a little on and off again between these two. That's right. And it hasn't been everything fairy tale, you know, wise, and I think that that leaves us at a very interesting place to start season 3. We're, we're like in our 20s now. Everyone's sort of in their 20s, which is drastically different, and, uh, yeah, our characters have probably broken up and gotten back together a million times, um. And just, yeah, navigating what it means to be, for my character, what it means to be in college and how to be an adult, and, um, we meet Taylor's mom for the first time, which is really exciting, and we get to see their dynamic a little bit, um. This is sort of the push and pull of how much I help my mom versus how much I like pursue what I want to do, and like, you know, leave the nest, and, um. Yeah, so much change. I think Taylor's personality, like for the whole time that we ever have gone to see her up until this point, I think it's just infectious and a lot of people really kind of gravitate towards how you executed that character so beautifully. Um, but now that she is a bit older, what is it like to kind of be able to transfer some of that kind of energy and retain some of that as we go into season 3, but still, you know, like you say, have her mature and be a little bit older, totally. Um, yeah, it's something I've like thought about, um, a lot, you know, it's like someone when they're 16 versus someone when they're in their 20s, it's it's a completely different person, like, you know, I'm, I was a very different person when I was 16 versus when I was 21 or whatever, um. And so that was really fun. Like that's been a really fun journey. I think like, when we last saw her in season two, there were themes of like guarding her heart versus being vulnerable with Steven and and I think um when we see her in season 3, some of that is still there, you know, she's still working on how to be vulnerable with another person, you know, I've said before, like healing isn't linear, it's not a linear thing, so like sometimes um you can make like a breakthrough and and get somewhere, you know, whatever in yourself or with another person and trust someone and then maybe like later you are more closed off again and like that's cool, that's OK. So she's sort of navigating that now. John, for you, I think um how the show was able to kind of show all of these friendships was really unique and I think something that really stood out in particular was how Steven really was like there for Conrad when he's having anxiety. How would you say the friendship kind of evolves as we go into season 3 because I think that's such a core part of what everyone loves. It's a tough one. I, I have to say that, uh, season 3 aside, like I'm glad that people resonated with those scenes because I, I think that those are some of my favorite to film. Uh, Chris is a very dear friend of mine. I love him, we hang out like every day, and uh to get those scenes together, uh, we're not only amazing to be able to work together, but the magnitude of the scenes. Obviously talking about mental health and then just straight up just friends being there for friends, like homies being homies, uh, I loved having scenes where we get to talk and kind of be vulnerable with each other in, you know, a weird, like bro way. It was very interesting, and I, I will say, no spoilers, but we have some scenes together in season 3 that I'm very excited for the fans to see and I'm very proud of. I know he works extremely hard and I'm very excited for you guys to see it. Tom, for you, um, you know, I think with this show. There's been a massive amount of people kind of really feeling strongly, but I think every character and every storyline and, like, who people want to see together and who people don't. What's it like to be on a show where you do have all of this kind of fanfare and all of this excitement about what's really going to happen with the story that you're telling? What happens with the story that you're telling? Oh wow, it's wild. Um, yeah, there's so many people invested in this show. I think it's great. I love it. Um, certainly, you know, when I'm meeting someone and they're of a certain age group and they're like, 'What do you do?' and I'm like, 'Oh, I'm just an actor.' I'm on this show, you know, Summer I Turn Pretty,' and then they go, and they like freak out. So that's kind of fun. Do they not recognize you? No, no, I don't think so. People mostly just think I've been in their shop before. Oh, welcome back. Oh, never been here before. Oh my gosh, can I tell my favorite? Because I took my son to a new dentist and she was like, you look so familiar. She's like, either we went to dental school together or you're on a TV show. Yeah, maybe it wasn't dental school. I like how that's the choice. There's no other option. I know, totally no in between, not like we're in the same neighborhood or the same shops, no. Because going into this, we knew that this is three books, three seasons, if it wasn't gonna be broken up in any way. Um, can you both just tell me a little bit about your last day on set and what it was like to kind of have this come to an end? It was a couple of different people's last day It was my last day, I think so. I think, I think Sean and I were maybe the same, I mean, hard work, but you know, it was just we put in a lot of work, and, I think, you know, it was bittersweet. We're all really proud of what we did, but we're gonna miss hanging out together because we all really love hanging out on set and off, so yeah. The one sort of bright light is that after you shoot the show, you have so much time before it comes out. And so now we can come together and see it together and kind of relive it, and I don't know, I'll probably text you when it comes out and be like, did you see that scene? It wasn't what I thought it would be. So I feel like it's continuing on for us right now, yeah. It was great. The final day was great. It wasn't, you know, like any final day for a season, you know, it's emotional and beautiful, and yeah. Everything at once. Yeah, it's true. It feels, you know, I, I don't know, it feels so bittersweet. I get it, like you said, like every time we wrap or have wrapped a season, it's felt very bittersweet, like, it's because it's like summer camp, you know, you're with all of your friends and you're making this thing, and, and, um, you know, you're so proud of it, and on the other hand, it's like you're not gonna see your friends every day, you know, so it's sort of, but yeah, my last day was beautiful. I felt like, um, our last day of season three was yeah, beautiful. It was like there's some tears, there's some hugs, you know. Celebratory and also sad, you know, it's, yeah, it's beautiful. Ray got pissed at me 'cause the last day on season three that we shot together, I just gave her a hug and then I wouldn't let her go, and then she's like, I gotta get the fuck home. It's like, good luck, dog. I don't know what to tell you. Um, so yeah, then she had to pry me off of her with a crowbar, but yeah, that didn't work too well. I'm just physically keeping the cast together. Exactly, exactly, you get it, you get it, yeah.

I'm a professional baker — 10 kitchen tools I've tried and would re-buy (so many are on sale right now)
In my friend group, I'm definitely the personality hire, except when it comes to cooking advice. After a decade of working on food trucks and in bakeries (even opening my own in 2015), I've become the go-to person to ask, 'Why did my cookies go flat?' or 'What should I make for Easter dinner?' Cooking and baking professionally, combined with years of trial and error as a home cook, means I've tested (and tossed) a lot of kitchen equipment in my life. Over the years, I've formed very strong opinions about what to splurge on and what to skip altogether when it comes to outfitting your kitchen. I've cooked up a list of my favourite kitchen appliances, utensils, and accessories that have proven to be ride-or-die for the everyday home chef. My favourites range from investment pieces like a Staub Dutch Oven to a set of silicon baking mats that are under $15. And the best part? So many items are still on sale after Amazon Prime Day 2025. Keep scrolling for the best Amazon kitchen deals. Related post-Prime Day articles: 60 best extended Amazon Prime Day deals you can still shop in Canada — Apple, Nespresso, Dyson and more 20 of the most popular deals Yahoo Canada readers bought during Amazon Prime Day 2025 Amazon Prime Day is over, but this 'lifesaver' power bar is still on sale for $16 I can't be the only little girl who dreamed of owning an entire line-up of Dutch ovens, all matching in the same bold colour. When it finally came time to invest in one of my own, the research was all pointing to one brand: Staub. I opted for their 5.5-qt Round Cocotte, realizing very quickly it's the only Dutch oven I will ever need to own. Made in France, these hefty pots are built to last, transferring seamlessly from stovetop cooking to oven braising. Trust me: It's more than worth the investment. This may be surprising, but this set of mini spatulas is my most-used item in my kitchen. I actually have two sets because they're just that good. These spatulas are perfect for everything from getting the last little morsels out of a jar of honey to cooking scrambled eggs. I find myself reaching for one multiple times a day. This set has the lowest cost per use of any tool in my entire kitchen. As a professional baker, an accurate food scale can be the difference between an airy loaf of sourdough and an inedible brick of flour. I recently switched to the Oxo Good Grips Food Scale, and it has upped my baking game tenfold. The unique feature of this scale is the pull-out display, making it easy to see no matter the size of the bowl you choose. This scale's utility goes way beyond a dynamite focaccia dough — perfectly portioning bulk groceries and divving up this week's prepped meals. Please accept this as my formal declaration of love for hand blenders. Do I have a traditional blender and also a food processor? Yes. Do I reach for either of those even half as much as I reach for my KitchenAid Hand Blender? Not even close. Soups, sauces, jams, compound butters — do I need to go on? I still have the exact KitchenAid Hand Blender I opened my bakery with ten years ago, and it hasn't skipped a beat. You often hear chefs say that the one tool you need in your kitchen is a high-quality knife—this fact became very clear when I finally bought one for myself. I've become a huge fan of the entire catalogue of Global Knives since purchasing my first one a few years ago, but even with a drawer full of knives I'm always reaching for the GS90 Santoku Knife. The super sharp fluted blade makes chopping vegetables less of a chore, and the lightweight handle fits perfectly in my small hands. There are dozens of digital thermometers on the market these days, ranging in price from $10 to more than $100. You may be shocked to find that the thermometer I've trusted for over five years is one of the most inexpensive on the market. I use the Thermo Digital Thermometer for everything from checking whether my roast chicken is cooked through to making sure boiled sugar is hot enough to turn into marshmallows. It's compact and easy to read, and I can't even remember the last time I needed to change the batteries—sometimes, simplicity is best when it comes to cooking. Getting to feed delicious things to the people I love is a big part of why I enjoy cooking. After years of entertaining, I recently found a new favourite hosting hack: Pacolit P's Warming Mat. The pressure of making sure everything on the Thanksgiving table is ready at the same time has finally been lifted. This mat has three temperature settings to keep the mashed potatoes from cooling while you're carving the turkey. I'm never hosting another dinner party without it. A bench scraper is a non-negotiable tool in any kitchen I cook in. I first learned how handy they can be working in professional bakeries, and it turns out they're just as useful in my home kitchen. Dividing pizza dough, scrapping flour off counters, and scooping up chopped onions — this may be the most versatile tool in my kitchen that's under $20! The Anaeat scraper has the added benefit of measuring guides, making it the perfect gift for amateur bakers. It doesn't take a professional baker to know that KitchenAid Stand Mixers don't always do the greatest job of incorporating everything in the bowl. I've owned five of their mixers, and the one thing that consistently improves every batter and dough is the Flex Edge Beater. The added silicone covering drastically reduces the number of times I find myself scraping down the bowl with a spatula, often allowing me to skip that frustrating step altogether. Whether in my home kitchen or a professional bakery, I always find that most of my waste is parchment paper. Silicone baking mats not only reduce my use of parchment paper, but they also save my pans from the wear and tear of stuck-on food. Pro tip: If you've ever pulled out your hair trying to master a French macaron, a silicone mat may be the missing piece. 38% off: Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Egg Cooker | Shop for $18 $29 Take 38% off an ecozy Countertop Ice Maker | Shop for $99 $160 30% off a Philips Series 3300 Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine | Shop for $700 $1,000 Take 48% off a Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine | Shop for $99 $18 Save 19% on a CyberChill Slushie Machine | Shop for $243 $300 Save 77% on a Canoly Masticating Juicer | Shop for $149 $640 52% off: HOSHANHO Kitchen Knife | Shop for $38 $80 Take 38% off a Keurig K-Supreme Plus K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker | Shop for $130 $209 31% off: KitchenAid Digital Air Fryer Countertop Oven | Shop for $200 $288

'The Summer I Turned Pretty': Lola Tung, Jenny Han reveal Taylor Swift song that represents Season 3 Belly
Easily one of the most highly anticipated TV releases of the year, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 lands on Prime Video July 16, the final season of the show adapted from Jenny Han's book trilogy. Starring Lola Tung as Belly, Christopher Briney as Conrad and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah, fans are waiting to see the outcome of this complicated love triangle. While it may be obvious that the series will end just like the book, which we won't spoil here for those trying to avoid the potential finale moment, the hit show has been known to throw in some surprises. It's a testament to how the series works to service original fans of the story and newcomers alike. "I think of the work that we did this season, I think it really comes together beautifully," Han told Yahoo Canada. "I think the intention is always to honour the original fans of the story and also bring some new things to the table as well, just to keep things exciting." "For me, I always have to be excited about whatever I'm doing, and feel energized ... to tell the story and play in the world." When asked what Taylor Swift song Han and Tung would say best represented Belly in Season 3, they agree on "Bejeweled" from from the Midnights album. A significant element of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is that we're starting four years after the end of Season 2. Belly is in her junior year of college and as we see in the trailer for the season, Belly and Jeremiah make plans to get married. But things seem to get complicated when Belly reconnects with Conrad, who moved to California where he's continuing his journey to becoming a doctor. "We had a year off because of the strike, so I kind of got two years off between filming Season 2 and Season 3. ... I ended up playing my own age, which was kind of cool. I feel like that doesn't happen that often," Tung said. "And I felt like over those two years I had grown so much, and I know that Belly had also grown so much over the four years that we didn't see her." "So it was cool going into Season 3 with a sort of new perspective, and all the lessons that I'd learned in my life, and all the lessons that I knew Belly had learned and was going to learn this season." "That's the coolest part about it, is that you get to bring all that into the character," Han added. "And I think it just really deepens and enriches the story when you can bring your own lived experience to it." With the jump in the timeline comes a new exploration of the mother-daughter relationship between Belly and Laurel (Jackie Chung). Many will recognize that the bond between a teenage daughter and her mother is quite different once that daughter is in her 20s, and we've already been teased that Laurel isn't particularly supportive when Belly and Jeremiah tell her they're going to get married. "When I think back to being in high school, ... I feel like I was always just so impatient with my mom and so mean, ... where you're often locked in battle a lot with your mom," Han said. "I think because you're coming into your own. You want independence. You want to make up your own mind about things, but you're still living under her roof and you actually don't have much control. ... If one day your parent was like, we're moving because I got a job change, ... you don't really get a say whether or not you're staying or going." "I think that can feel ... really confining. But then, when you have that space to go out to college and forge your own path a little bit, I think you can have more grace for your parent when you come back home, and you can see them more as people. And I think that, for Belly and Laurel, as Belly gets older, they really are seeing each other more as people and in a more equal footing." "They're really similar though, too," Tung added. "And that's the thing that also happens where teenagers are often pretty stubborn when it comes to their parents, ... and don't always want to listen, even if what their parents are saying is probably for the best." "But then Belly, I think, continues to be pretty stubborn, just as a person, that's how she is, which is amazing, because it makes her headstrong and driven and determined. But she is stubborn and she definitely gets that from Laurel ... they're both stubborn." Jackie Chung explained that in Season 3, Laurel is trying to maintain connections with not just her own kids, but Conrad and Jeremiah as well, after their mother's death. "When you're in high school, you're still a kid, and then when you jump to college all of a sudden you've already turned 18, you are now an adult," Chung said. "And so I think some of the decisions that you make have bigger repercussions, perhaps." "Laurel is always there for her daughter and always supportive of her, but they don't always agree on the decisions. I think, like any parent, you're trying to guide your kid, but you don't always agree with what they're doing. And so sometimes they're on the same page, and sometimes they are not." In terms of parental influences, Conrad and Jeremiah have had a contentious relationship with their father Adam (Tom Everett Scott), and we do see a slight reconciliation by the end of Season 2 when Conrad and Jeremiah wanted to keep the Cousins' house. Tom Everett Scott highlighted that it was "emotional" to see Adam "break down" about the loss of Susannah, Conrad and Jeremiah's mother, in Season 2, and teased things do evolve in his relationship with his kids in Season 3. "I think you see a little bit of that coming back together with the boys, and at the beginning of Season 3 he's certainly a little bit better off with Jeremiah, but there is still quite a gap with him and Conrad," Scott said. "So Adam is ... working as best as he can at making amends with his sons." But aside from the infamous love triangle, fans are also waiting to see how the relationship between Steven (Sean Kaufman) and Taylor (Rain Spencer) unfolds in Season 3, with the stars teasing that it hasn't been a "fairytale." "There's a lot of change that goes on," Sean Kaufman said. "Four years means that we're not at the same place where we left off at Season 2, ... and I think that people will be surprised to know that throughout the four years, there's been some ups and downs, and it's been a little on and off again between these two. ... That leaves us at a very interesting place to start Season 3." "Our characters have probably broken up and gotten back together a million times," Rain Spencer added. We'll also get to meet Taylor's mom for the first time, diving into what that mother-daughter dynamic looks like. "There's a sort of push and pull of like, how much do I help my mom and versus how much do I pursue what I want to do, and leave the nest," Spencer said. Throughout The Summer I Turned Pretty, Taylor has been a character that is bold, brash and has an energetic personality. Moving into Season 3, Spencer thought a lot about how that evolves as we meet Taylor four years later. "I was a very different person when I was 16 versus when I was 21, or whatever, and so that was really fun," Spencer said. "When we last saw her in Season 2, there were themes of guarding her heart versus being vulnerable with Steven, and I think when we see her in Season 3, some of that is still there. She's still working on how to be vulnerable with another person." "Healing isn't linear. .... So sometimes you can make a breakthrough and get somewhere, ... and then maybe later you were more closed off again, and that's cool. That's OK. So she's sort of navigating that now." Meanwhile for Kaufman, a highlight for many has been seeing how supportive Steven and Conrad are of each other, including being open around conversations about mental health, specifically Conrad's anxiety. "Chris is a very dear friend of mine. I love him. We hang out like every day, and to get those scenes together were not only amazing to be able to work together, but the magnitude of the scenes, obviously talking about mental health, and then ... just friends being there for friends, ... and having scenes where we get talk and be vulnerable with each other, ... was very interesting," Kaufman said. "I will say, no spoilers, but we have some scenes together in Season 3 that I'm very excited for the fans to see, and I'm very proud of. I know he works extremely hard, and I'm very excited for you guys to see it."
