With the movie now confirmed, many questions remain about when it will premiere, its storyline, and who will return. Here’s everything currently known about the The Summer I Turned Pretty movie.
Release Date
At this time, there is no official release date for the film. Amazon announced the movie shortly after the season 3 finale aired, so details about its debut are still under wraps. The official The Summer I Turned Pretty Instagram account confirmed the project is underway. Interestingly, the Today show responded to this announcement with the cryptic comment, "Talk to you tomorrow morning," on September 17, 2025, hinting at a possible timeframe.
According to Deadline, filming is expected to begin in late April 2026, though this schedule could shift as production plans develop.
Plot Details
Author Jenny Han, whose books inspired the series, shared that the movie will focus on a "big milestone in Belly’s life." She expressed gratitude toward Prime Video for allowing her to continue the stories of Belly and Conrad through this film format. Han explained that there was an important chapter in Belly’s journey that she believed only a feature-length movie could properly explore and honor.
Cast Returning
Fans can look forward to seeing Lola Tung reprising her role as Belly and Christopher Briney returning as Conrad. However, it remains unclear if Gavin Casalegno will reprise his role as Jeremiah. No other cast members have officially confirmed their involvement at this time.
Jenny Han will also take on new responsibilities as she collaborates with Sarah Kucserka to write the script and will direct the movie herself, ensuring her vision for the story is preserved.
With production still in early stages, further updates about the The Summer I Turned Pretty movie’s release and additional cast announcements are expected in the coming months. Fans eager to revisit Belly’s journey can anticipate a heartfelt continuation, crafted with the same warmth and emotional depth that made the series a hit worldwide.
