Jenny Han, who wrote the bestselling book trilogy and developed the series, will take the reins as both writer and director. Sharing her vision, she explained, “There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due. I’m so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans.”
Why the Story Needs More Than a Series Finale
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season three brought plenty of drama and wrapped up parts of the iconic love triangle between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah. But some elements of Han’s novels, like Belly’s future plans and the book’s epilogue, were left untouched. Fans were left wondering how her relationships and choices would fully play out.
With a film, the story gets more breathing room, avoiding the rushed pacing of a season finale. It also gives longtime viewers the closure they’ve been asking for, while honoring the original books more faithfully.
What Fans Can Expect from The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie
Casting hasn’t been confirmed, but it’s widely expected that Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno will reprise their roles as Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah. Their characters remain at the heart of the unresolved storyline, and their return would ensure continuity.
Though Jenny Han has hinted that Cousins Beach could inspire future spin-offs, this movie is all about giving Belly’s story the ending it deserves. For fans, it promises one last, emotional farewell to the world that captured millions of hearts.
