Finally, An Update On The Summer I Turned Pretty S3 Release Schedule
It’s all starting July 16.
After skipping a summer, The Summer I Turned Pretty is making its long-awaited return on July 16, 2025. The beachy 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.
Back in March 2024, Amazon Studios announced that the show would be back in the summer of 2025. The production company confirmed Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty had begun production in May 2024. 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. 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. And the show is making that time jump even bigger, fast-forwarding four years into the future. So, now the actors will be much closer to the age of their characters.
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.
The Episodes Will Not Be Released All At Once
On June 20, Prime Video announced the release schedule for Season 3. Launch day (July 16) will have a two-episode premiere. Then, it will transition to a weekly release schedule, with one new episode dropping every Wednesday until the finale premieres on September 17.
The Season 3 Trailer Mirrored The Book
On April 24, the trailer for Season 3 dropped, which confirmed its air date in mid-July. The teaser also confirmed some plot points from the third book would be in this season. (Previously, author Jenny Han has dropped hints about making changes to the storyline for the show.)
In the trailer, Belly and Jeremiah’s relationship is the main focus, set to the tune of “Daylight” by Taylor Swift. The montage shows the duo watching movies at the Cousins beach house, winning a three-legged race, and bonding at college together. But that gets interrupted when Conrad and Belly have a surprise run-in at the beach house over Christmas — a plot twist that fans of the books will recognize. When the older Fisher brother enters the scene, the music switches to Swift’s “Red.”
The “Daylight” and “Red” mashup continues in the full trailer, which dropped on June 11. The longer look depicts several events from the final book — most notably, Belly’s wedding. At the end of the trailer, Belly wears a white dress as she prepares to walk down the aisle.
It Is The Final Season
Upon its renewal, 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 bringing the last book to life. 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.
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.
