After skipping a summer, The Summer I Turned Pretty is making its long-awaited return in July 2025. The beach-y romance’s second season ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger in the summer of 2023, but unfortunately, fans were not able to pick up with Belly’s love story the following summer. Due to the writers’ and actors’ strike, filming was delayed. Luckily, audiences will not have to wait much longer to return to Cousins Beach.

On March 7, Amazon Studios announced that the show will be back in July 2025. The production company confirmed Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty had begun production in May 2024, revealing that it would not premiere until the next summer. This was the series’ longest hiatus yet, as Season 1 aired in the summer of 2022 and Season 2 followed a year later.

The lengthy wait may have actually been a plus for the show in terms of storytelling, too. The final book in Jenny Han’s TSITP trilogy, titled We’ll Always Have Summer, jumps ahead two years from the events of the second book. So, now the actors will accurately age with their characters as they return to the slightly aged-up roles.

As fans wait to see who Belly will ultimately end up with, here’s everything to know about The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3.

It Is The Final Season

On March 7, Amazon Studios confirmed that Season 3 this will be the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Each season of the show has adapted a book in Han’s trilogy, and Season 3 will finish up the novels’ story by adapting the last book. There may be hope for Han to work on a spin-off show (similar to how XO, Kitty picked up the world of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before), but nothing has been announced. At the moment, it seems that the new season will remain faithful to the books and give fans the ending they’ve been waiting for.

It Will Have More Episodes Than Previous Seasons

Season 3 will be much longer than past seasons — which is fitting considering We’ll Always Have Summer is the longest novel of the series. It will consist of 11 episodes, which is up from Season 1’s seven and Season 2’s eight episode counts.
