The Summer I Turned Pretty

As usual, Taylor Swift dropped a new album and The Bear set a return date for a new season in June, but Summer 2024 is going to look a lot different for The Summer I Turned Pretty fans…

The hit Prime Video series, based on Jenny Han’s beloved young adult book trilogy, was renewed for a third season back in August 2023, but during Amazon’s upfront presentation on May 14, Han and the cast took the stage to share that Season 3 isn’t coming until…2025!

With Season 1 premiering in June 2022 and Season 2 dropping in August 2023, this will mark fans’ first summer without Belly, Conrad, Jere, and a trip back to Cousins in three years. To make up for the delay, which comes after the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Han announced that Season 3 “will be a supersized season with 11 episodes.”

“We’ve all been working very hard to make this an epic season of Summer,” she assured fans at the event, also sharing that she’ll be directing her very first episode of TV in the upcoming season.

Lola Tung, who plays Belly, chimed in to say, “I can’t wait for everyone to see her journey this season.” And Belly’s boys shared their thoughts on Season 3 as well, with Christopher Briney confirming, “It’s good to be back…” and Gavin Casalegno adding, “I feel like we’re all really excited to see what comes next for all of us, especially for Jeremiah and Belly’s final moments in Season 2.”

Though fans are thrilled the juicy Brother Love Triangle show will live to see another season, they’re not happy about the delay, especially because other series like The Bear managed to pull their new seasons off in time to premiere in their predicted 2024 slots. The question on everyone’s mind now is, “HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE THIS SUMMER WITHOUT THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY?!”

The year-long delay isn’t ideal, but while you wait for Summer 2025, you have plenty of time to reread The Summer I Turned Pretty books, rewatch the first two seasons, and learn all the lyrics to whatever Taylor Swift albums are released pre-premiere.

Stay tuned for more updates, and again, if you’re in need of a new Show Of The Summer, The Bear Season 3 drops in full on June 27.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 1 and 2 are now streaming on Prime Video.
