It’s official: The Summer I Turned Pretty is returning for season 3.

It’s big news for fans who have been hooked on Belly’s (Lola Tung) journey alongside Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney).

The story was created by To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before writer Jenny Han.

“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty,” said head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios Vernon Sanders. “Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller whose fans have been clamouring for the third chapter of this story.

“We’re excited today to share the news that they have a lot more Summer to look forward to.”

Read on for everything you need to know about The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 release date speculation: When will it air?

Both seasons of the show have aired in the summer months, as you’d expect – season 1 arrived in June 2022, with the second instalment arriving in July this year, so initially we would have expected season 3 to arrive in summer 2024.

But due to the ongoing writers’ strike, multiple productions have been paused – and it’s unknown how long that will continue for, which could impact TSITP.

We’d expect all of the following to return for season 3:

  • Lola Tung as Belly
  • Christopher Briney as Conrad
  • Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah
  • Sean Kaufman as Steven
  • Rain Spencer as Taylor
  • Jackie Chung as Laurel

Following her death in between season 1 and season 2, we’d also expect Susannah (Rachel Blanchard) to appear in flashbacks.

The following could also feature, but their futures feel more uncertain:

  • Elsie Fisher as Skye
  • Kyra Sedgwick as Julia
  • David Iacono as Cam

And there’s also an opportunity for some new characters to join.

At the end of season 2, Belly chose Jeremiah over Conrad after some extensive deliberation. But, according to the synopsis of Han’s third book, We’ll Always Have Summer, there’s plenty of drama ahead, naturally. 

“One girl. Two boys. The biggest decision of her life…” reads the official blurb.

“Just when Isabel thinks she had everything mapped out, life proves that when it comes to love, you can never have all the answers.

“Isabel has only ever loved two boys, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. She’s grown up with them, and can’t imagine life without them. One broke her heart, the other made her happier than she ever thought she’d be. But each brother is keeping a secret from Isabel, and this summer she must choose between the Fisher boys, once and for all.

“Which brother will it be?”
