Prime Video has officially revealed that The Summer I Turned Pretty will not end with its third season alone. After the final episode dropped, fans learned that the story will continue in a movie. Jenny Han, who wrote the original books and adapted the series, will both write and direct the film. Many viewers see this move as a way to give the main character, Belly Conklin, the closure they were hoping for.
The series, based on Jenny Han’s bestselling trilogy, followed Belly as she navigated love, family, and growing up between two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah. Over its three seasons, the show built up a strong fan base around the world. The third season, the final one, premiered on July 16, 2025, and ended on September 17. Even with the conclusion of the series, many fans felt that there was more to Belly’s story worth telling.
Jenny Han explained that there is “another big milestone” in Belly’s journey that only a movie could handle properly. She thanked Prime Video for supporting her ideas and trusting her to bring the final chapter to life. Lola Tung and Christopher Briney, who play Belly and Conrad, are confirmed to return. Other cast members have not yet been confirmed, but many expect familiar faces from the series to appear.
The plot of the movie is still under wraps. While fans can make guesses, no clear details have been shared yet about what exactly happens next. The movie will pick up after the events of season three, which ended with some emotional moments and unresolved tensions between characters. With the film, viewers hope to see more closure, possibly around Belly’s relationships and what the future holds for her.
Prime Video has not announced a release date. Filming and production schedules are still being worked out. Some reports suggest the movie may arrive in 2026, but nothing is certain yet. Until then, the final season of the series is available to stream for those who want to catch up.
The announcement of the movie has sparked excitement among fans. Many social media posts express relief that the story will not just end with open questions. For those who loved the books—or the show—it’s seen as a fair way to wrap up something they’ve followed closely. But there is also some hope that the film will match expectations and live up to what people felt season three promised.
