As of now, no official release date has been announced. The movie was just confirmed, and production details are still being finalized
The dramatic and emotional finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 left fans heart-eyed but craving more—and Jenny Han delivered!
Just hours after the Season 3 finale aired on September 17, 2025, Prime Video announced a surprise follow-up movie to conclude Belly’s story.
But when can we expect this highly anticipated film?
🎬 The Announcement: A Surprise Reveal
During the series’ finale red carpet celebration in Paris, Prime Video unveiled plans for The Summer I Turned Pretty movie.
The announcement was made via the show’s official Instagram, featuring a photo of stars Lola Tung (Belly) and Christopher Briney (Conrad) in front of a theater marquee teasing “The Movie”.
Jenny Han, the creator and author, will write and direct the film, calling it the “proper” way to conclude Belly’s journey.
📅 Release Date: Still Under Wraps
Here’s what we can infer:
- Filming Status: The series wrapped filming in November 2024, and there’s no indication that the movie has been shot yet.
- Production Timeline: Since the movie is a single feature rather than a full season, filming could be quicker. However, casting schedules and pre-production might take time.
- Potential Release Window: Many speculate a summer 2026 release, aligning with the show’s nostalgic summer theme. However, some fans hope for a sooner drop, possibly late 2025 or early 2026.
📖 What Will the Movie Cover?
While plot details are scarce, Jenny Han hinted that the movie will explore “another big milestone” in Belly’s journey. Based on the book series and show finale, here’s what to expect:
- Belly and Conrad’s Wedding: The book epilogue features their wedding at Cousins Beach, which was omitted from the series finale.
- Jeremiah’s Reaction: The finale didn’t show Jeremiah’s response to Belly and Conrad’s reunion.
- Family and Friends: The movie may delve into how Belly’s family and friends react to her choice.
🎭 Returning Cast
While not officially confirmed, the main cast is expected to reprise their roles:
- Lola Tung as Belly
- Christopher Briney as Conrad
- Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah
- Rain Spencer as Taylor
- Sean Kaufman as Steven
Supporting characters like Laurel (Jackie Chung) and Adam (Tom Everett Scott) may also return.
🌟 Why a Movie?
The series has been a massive success, with Season 3 drawing 25 million viewers globally in its first week.
Prime Video and Jenny Han recognized that Belly’s story needed a grand finale—one that a movie format could provide.
🔮 Predictions and Fan Excitement
Fans are buzzing with theories:
- Will the movie adapt the wedding from the books?
- How will Conrad and Belly’s relationship evolve?
