The Summer I Turned Pretty returns for its much-anticipated third and final season, premiering July 16, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. Adapted from Jenny Han’s best-selling YA trilogy, the series has become a cornerstone of contemporary coming-of-age drama, intertwining the warmth of summer nostalgia with the angst of first loves and heartbreak.
The Story So Far
Season 3 opens at the close of Belly Conklin’s junior year of college. After the tumultuous events of last season, Belly is looking forward to another serene summer in Cousins Beach, this time with Jeremiah by her side. However, her carefully imagined future is upended when Conrad, her first love, reappears amidst “core-shaking events,” thrusting Belly into a familiar—yet more emotionally charged—love triangle.
As all three grapple with adulthood, deep-seated feelings, and the lasting impact of loss and change, the narrative explores what it means to grow up against the backdrop of ephemeral summers. The show also gives significant attention to the evolving relationships between families, the enduring strength of friendship, and learning to let go.
What to Expect in the Final Season
This concluding chapter comprises 11 episodes, with the first two dropping on premiere day and subsequent episodes releasing weekly. The emotional stakes are higher than ever, as Belly finds herself at a crossroads with both Conrad and Jeremiah—and must finally choose where her heart lies.
Showrunners Jenny Han and Sarah Kucserka promise a conclusion that honors the original novels, delivering closure on the love triangle while navigating themes of forgiveness, maturity, and new beginnings. Fans can expect picturesque beach settings, an evocative soundtrack, and the familiar blend of longing and joy that has defined the series from the start.
Cast and Creative Team
The central trio—Lola Tung (Belly), Christopher Briney (Conrad), and Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah)—return alongside a supporting cast that has grown with the characters over three seasons. Jenny Han, creator and executive producer, remains closely involved, ensuring the adaptation remains true to its literary roots.
