Fans of the beloved teen drama series can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Amazon Prime Video has officially confirmed that 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' will be returning for a highly anticipated third season.
The news comes after a massively successful second season that left viewers on the edge of their seats, desperate to know the fate of Belly and the Fisher brothers.
When Can We Expect Season 3?
While an exact release date is still under wraps, production is slated to begin in the summer of 2024. This timeline suggests a potential premiere window of mid-to-late 2025, keeping with the show's pattern of yearly summer releases.
Filming is expected to take place in Wilmington, North Carolina, the picturesque coastal town that serves as the perfect stand-in for the fictional Cousins Beach.
Who's Returning to Cousins Beach?
The core cast is set to reprise their roles, ensuring the magic of the first two seasons continues. This includes:
- Lola Tung as Isabel "Belly" Conklin
- Christopher Briney as Conrad Fisher
- Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah Fisher
- Jackie Chung as Laurel Park
- Rachel Blanchard as Susannah Fisher
Season 2 also introduced compelling new characters like Jeremiah's college roommate, Skye (Elsie Fisher), and their mother, Julia (Kyra Sedgwick). Their return for Season 3 seems highly likely as the story delves deeper into the Fisher family dynamics.
Plot Teasers: What's Next for Belly?
Based on the third and final book in Jenny Han's trilogy, 'We'll Always Have Summer', the upcoming season is poised to tackle the most dramatic chapter yet.
The central love triangle between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah will reach its boiling point. Expect heart-wrenching decisions, romantic gestures, and the emotional fallout from Susannah's passing to continue shaping their relationships.
