The sun isn't setting on Cousins Beach just yet. Prime Video has officially confirmed the return of its smash-hit teen drama, The Summer I Turned Pretty, for a third season, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement.
The streaming giant announced the renewal, ensuring viewers will get to see the next chapter in Belly Conklin's complicated love story. The series, based on Jenny Han's bestselling book trilogy, has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut.
When Can We Expect Season 3?
While an exact premiere date is still under wraps, production is slated to begin shortly. Speculation points towards a potential summer 2024 release, perfectly aligning with the show's sunny, seasonal aesthetic. Fans are advised to keep their notifications on for further announcements from Prime Video.
Who's Returning to the Cast?
Lead star Lola Tung is set to reprise her role as the central character, Isabel "Belly" Conklin. She will be joined by the two brothers at the heart of the love triangle: Christopher Briney as the brooding Conrad Fisher and Gavin Casalegno as the charismatic Jeremiah Fisher.
Rain Spencer (Taylor) and Sean Kaufman (Steven) are also expected to return as Belly's loyal best friend and brother. The fate of other beloved characters remains a closely guarded secret, adding to the anticipation.
What Drama Lies Ahead?
Season 2 concluded with a dramatic shift, deviating from the source material. Belly and Jeremiah shared a passionate kiss, seemingly choosing him over Conrad. Season 3 is expected to delve into the complex fallout of this decision.
For book readers, the third instalment, We’ll Always Have Summer, provides a roadmap. It explores the intense pressures of a relationship built on a fractured foundation, promising even more heartbreak, growth, and emotional turmoil for all characters involved.
With the official confirmation now public, the countdown to the next summer at Cousins Beach has officially begun.
