Warning: spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 ahead.
Jenny Han’s first novel trilogy has finally been adapted for the screen, and now The Summer I Turned Pretty will be getting the full adaptation treatment with a season 3 — and thanks to new confirmation, we’ve learned that season 3 will be the show’s final season.
ICYMI: Coming-of-age novel The Summer I Turned Pretty was first published in 2009. A few years later in 2013, it was announced that it had been optioned for television. But it wasn’t until February 2021 that Amazon gave the project a series order, officially giving the green light on the TV series’s development.

“The Summer I Turned Pretty is many years in the making, and I’m so excited to tell Belly’s story,” author Jenny Han told Deadline in 2021 when the show was first announced. “For the longtime book fans, I think it will have been worth the wait. For those newly discovering the Summer series, I hope you fall in love with these characters and this place that is so dear to my heart.”
Jenny Han’s most recent trilogy, the To All the Boys series — consisting of the three YA novels To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, P.S. I Still Love You, and Always and Forever, Lara Jean — was adapted by Netflix in 2018, with all three books getting an on-screen companion. (XO, Kitty, a TATB spin-off series that focuses on Lara Jean Covey’s younger sister Kitty, debuted on Netflix in May. More on that here!)
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 premiered last summer, on July 14, 2023. The sophomore chapter of Belly Conklin’s story ran weekly until its season finale in mid-August. The series was renewed for a third season before the second season’s end — below, we’ve gathered everything we know so far about the next addition to the Jenny Han on-screen universe, including The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 release date, new and returning cast members, plot details, trailer, and first look photos.
