The Summer I Turned Prettygets a massive update from an insider source. The hit Prime Video show, which is based on creator Jenny Han's novel trilogy of the same name, tells the story of Isabel "Belly" Conklin (Lola Tung) and what happens once she finds herself in a love triangle with brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). The Summer I Turned Pretty cast also includes Jackie Chung, Rachel Blanchard, Colin Ferguson, and Tom Everett Scott.

PEOPLEhas shared information from an insider source that confirms The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 is due to begin filming this coming spring in Wilmington, North Carolina, but it's caveated that those plans could change and that “nothing firm has been set”. The update comes after the teen drama was noticeably absent from Prime Video's 2024 preview, raising questions about when new episodes might premiere.

Belly's Made Her Choice In The Summer I Turned Pretty (But Will It Change?)

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2's finale ultimately doesn't deviate from the second book in Han's trilogy, It's Not Summer Without You. Belly makes the difficult decision to let go of Conrad. He gives Belly her infinity necklace back, and he keeps it together until he can deal with his emotions in private. The episode ends with the suggestion that Conrad could begin to move on from the love triangle. As for Jeremiah, he watches Belly play volleyball from the sidelines, and he looks happy. It's a difficult road for all three to get to that point.

First, the leading trio has to get through an awkward car ride. Conrad intentionally asks Belly and Jeremiah harsh and personal questions as a way of expressing the betrayal he feels. It's only in the previous episode that he accidentally interrupts a kiss between Belly and his brother, The season 2 closer, written by Megan Griffiths and directed by Sarah Kucserka, is largely about Conrad coming to terms with him no longer beng Belly's romantic interest and that Jeremiah is.

But there's more ahead for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, which will adapt Han's third and final novel in the series, We'll Always Have Summer. The story takes place two years after the events of It’s Not Summer Without You, with Belly somehow caught up in a love triangle between the two brothers. But it's in the third book that she makes her final decision.
