Mumbai: Fans of the beloved Amazon Prime Video series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, are on the edge of their seats following the release of the official trailer for its third and final season. Slated for a July 16 premiere with an extended run of 11 episodes, the concluding chapter promises an emotional rollercoaster as it delves into Belly’s life post-junior year of college, set against the familiar, sun-drenched backdrop of Cousins Beach.
The trailer, perfectly underscored by Taylor Swift’s evocative tracks “Daylight” and “Red,” provides a tantalising glimpse into Belly’s fraught romantic predicament. With her impending wedding to Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) on the horizon, the spectre of her first love, Conrad (Christopher Briney), looms large, threatening to unravel her carefully constructed future. Belly’s voiceover, “I loved [Conrad] in a way that you can only do the first time around. But that is the past. Jeremiah is my future,” articulates a conviction that, as the trailer progresses, visibly cracks under the weight of resurfacing emotions and unresolved tensions.
Based on Jenny Han’s final book in the popular trilogy, We’ll Always Have Summer, the upcoming season is set to navigate a tumultuous love triangle destined for a broken engagement and a dramatic confrontation at the altar. While book readers are privy to the ultimate outcome—Belly’s eventual choice of Conrad and their future wedding at Cousins Beach—the series is anticipated to deliver the dramatic turns with its signature blend of heartfelt emotion and sun-soaked drama.
The familiar faces of Rain Spencer as Taylor, Sean Kaufman as Steven, and Jackie Chung as Laurel, Belly’s mother, are all set to return. Adding fresh dynamics to the beloved ensemble are new regulars Isabella Briggs and Kristen Connolly, alongside recurring appearances from Sofia Bryant, Lily Donoghue, Zoe de Grand’Maison, Emma Ishta, and Tanner Zagarino, promising an even richer tapestry of interconnected stories.
Under the continued creative leadership of series creator Jenny Han and co-showrunner Sarah Kucserka, alongside executive producers Karen Rosenfelt, Paul Lee, Hope Hartman, and Mads Hansen, the final season is poised to deliver a fitting end to Belly’s intricate coming-of-age narrative. This season will not only mark the culmination of her personal journey but also bring down the curtain on a widely adored adaptation that has captivated audiences with its deep emotional resonance, well-developed characters, and irresistible summer charm.
