‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3: Release Date, Cast, Plot, and Final Season Details
Get ready for the summer at Cousins Beach. “The Summer I Turned Pretty” season 3 is coming to Prime Video in July 2025.
Based on the popular book trilogy by author and showrunner Jenny Han, this beloved series is wrapping up its emotional journey with an extended third season. Fans can expect 11 episodes filled with romance, drama, and heartfelt moments.
When Is ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3 Coming Out?
Although season 3 was confirmed back in August 2023, production faced delays due to industry strikes. Filming finally started in May 2024. Now, the wait is almost over, season 3 will officially premiere on Prime Video in July 2025.
This final chapter is longer than past seasons. While seasons 1 and 2 had 7 and 8 episodes respectively, season 3 will feature 11 episodes, giving fans more time with their favorite characters.
Is There a Trailer for Season 3?
Not yet! A full trailer hasn’t dropped, but fans were treated to a brief teaser in May 2024. In the short clip, Belly, Conrad, Jeremiah, and the rest of the crew are seen playing on the beach. Belly says, “See you summer 2025,” hinting at what’s to come.
We’ll update you as soon as an official trailer is released.
Who’s Returning for Season 3?
The main cast is back for the final season. Confirmed returning characters include:
- Lola Tung as Belly Conklin
- Christopher Briney as Conrad Fisher
- Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah Fisher
- Sean Kaufman as Steven Conklin
- Rain Spencer as Taylor Madison Jewel
- Jackie Chung as Laurel Park
- Rachel Blanchard as Susannah Fisher (via flashbacks)
However, Kyra Sedgwick, who played Aunt Julia in season 2, will not return. Her character’s story wrapped up last season. It’s unclear if Elsie Fisher (Skye) will make a comeback.
What Will Happen in Season 3?
Season 3 is expected to follow the plot of the third book, We’ll Always Have Summer. In the novel, Belly faces her final choice between the two Fisher brothers—Conrad and Jeremiah. The love triangle reaches its emotional end, and fans will see how her story unfolds.
While season 2 ended with Belly choosing Jeremiah, the story may not be as simple. Conrad’s return of the iconic infinity necklace left fans wondering if there’s more to come between him and Belly. And let’s not forget Susannah’s last wish for Belly to look out for Conrad—a bond that still lingers.
According to Jenny Han, season 3 will be intense. Speaking at the 2024 Teen Vogue Summit, she said, “Season 3 is a lot. Belly goes through so much.” The season will continue Belly’s coming-of-age journey as she faces love, heartbreak, and personal growth.
Some parts may even go beyond the books. For example, Lola Tung was spotted filming scenes in Paris, something that doesn’t happen in the original story. This suggests we may see new twists and original content in the final season.
What About Steven and Taylor?
Steven and Taylor’s romance will also get more screen time in season 3. Their relationship bloomed in season 2 and has become a fan favorite, even though it wasn’t part of the original books. Viewers can expect more sweet and dramatic moments between the two.
Will There Be More ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ After Season 3?
Season 3 will be the final season of the main show, but it might not be the end of the story.
In a 2023 interview with Deadline, Amazon and MGM Studios’ head of TV, Vernon Sanders, hinted that spin-offs or related projects might be on the way. He said, “We absolutely have plans to continue building it… Jenny’s got some exciting surprises.”
Jenny Han is no stranger to expanding her stories. After turning To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before into a hit Netflix trilogy, she created the spin-off series XO, Kitty. So, it’s possible that one or more characters from The Summer I Turned Pretty could get their own future series.
The Summer I Turned Pretty has been a heartfelt ride full of emotions, growth, and unforgettable summers. Season 3 promises to deliver a memorable farewell. With 11 episodes, a strong returning cast, and potential new storylines, fans won’t want to miss it.
Stay tuned for more updates, trailers, and episode breakdowns as the premiere gets closer. Summer 2025 can’t come soon enough!
