The Summer I Turned Pretty, Jenny Han’s beloved coming-of-age romance, returns for its final season on Prime Video, July 16, 2025. Here’s a crisp recap of Belly Conklin’s journey so far and what’s coming, spoiler-free for book newcomers.
Season 1: Teenaged Belly (Lola Tung) summers at Cousins Beach with her family and the Fishers—mom Susannah (Rachel Blanchard) and sons Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Caught in a love triangle with the brooding Conrad and sunny Jeremiah, Belly navigates first love and heartbreak. Susannah’s secret cancer battle looms, setting an emotional backdrop. By the finale, Belly leans toward Conrad, but tensions simmer.
Season 2: The next summer, Belly grapples with loss and shifting dynamics as the beach house faces sale. The love triangle deepens with new faces like Aunt Julia (Kyra Sedgwick) stirring drama. Flashbacks flesh out the past, though some feel uneven. Belly’s big romantic choice in the finale pivots the story toward Season 3.
Season 3 Tease: Adapting We’ll Always Have Summer, the 11-episode finale jumps two years, with college-aged Belly entangled in love and life choices. An engagement sparks joy and conflict, as Conrad’s return reignites old feelings. Expect new settings (Paris!), new cast (Isabella Briggs, Kristen Connolly), and surprises deviating from the book, per showrunner Han. The trailer, set to Taylor Swift’s “Daylight,” hints at a heartfelt end.With its nostalgic vibe, messy romance, and tight-knit family focus, Season 3 will wrap Belly’s story with high stakes. Binge Seasons 1-2 on Prime Video now—first two episodes drop July 16, then weekly.
