The beloved coming-of-age drama ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ has officially set its return date. Amazon Video shared the announcement on Instagram that the third and final season will premiere on July 16, with the simple yet evocative caption: “Summer is for lovers. The final chapter begins July 16.”

The post shared on Amazon’s official handle was in collaboration with Gavin Casalegno, Christopher Briney, Jenny Han, and Lola Tung, the main cast members of The Summer I Turned Pretty, as well as the author of the book series, to announce the final season release date.

The End Of A Summer Romance

Based on Jenny Han’s bestselling novels, ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ has captured audiences with its heartfelt portrayal of teenage summers, complex relationships, and coming-of-age themes. The series follows protagonist Belly Conklin (played by Lola Tung) as she navigates her relationships with brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher during summers at Cousins Beach.

Behind The Scenes Of The Final Season

Fans received their first glimpse of the upcoming season when Prime Video released a teaser in late May with the tagline: “A summer you’ll never forget.” The preview hinted at emotional closure for the series’ central love triangle between Belly and the Fisher brothers.

What Fans Can Expect From The Finale

As the series prepares to conclude, viewers are anticipating resolution to the central romantic storyline that has driven the show since its inception. The previous season left several storylines open, particularly regarding Belly’s complex relationships with both Fisher brothers.

The decision to end with season three aligns with Han’s original trilogy structure, allowing the adaptation to complete the narrative arc as intended in the source material. The summer setting has been a character in itself throughout the series, with the beachside locale of Cousins Beach providing the backdrop for the characters’ emotional journeys.

Prime Video has positioned this final installment as “a summer you’ll never forget,” suggesting an emotional conclusion that honors the growth of these characters over three seasons.

With July 16 now marked on fans’ calendars, viewers will soon bid farewell to the summer romance that has captured hearts since the series premiered in June 2022. For Casalegno and his castmates, including Lola Tung and Christopher Briney, the conclusion represents both an ending and a beginning as they move forward in their careers after bringing these beloved characters to life.

As Casalegno aptly put it in the announcement: “Summer is for lovers. The final chapter begins July 16.”
