When Is ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3 Coming To Prime Video? Everything We Know

Summers don’t feel complete without a new season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. And after Season 2 wrapped on August 17, 2023, fans of the series — adapted from Jenny Han’s bestselling YA novels — are already craving more Cousins drama, romance, and sweet summer memories.

Since Laurel (Jackie Chung) helped save the Fisher family beach house, there’s no doubt we can follow Belly (Lola Tung), Jeremiah (Gavin Caalegno), Conrad (Christopher Briney), Steven (Sean Kaufman), Taylor (Rain Spencer), Cam (David Iacono), and Skye (Elsie Fisher) to Cousins for another summer. The only question is, will we?

Wondering if The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is a go at Prime Video? What TSITP Season 3 could be about? And how many episodes we can expect in the future? Here’s everything we know about the future of the teen drama.

Will There Be A The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3?

Yes! If you’re not ready to say goodbye to Belly and the boys yet, don’t worry. There’s more The Summer I Turn Pretty to come. Earlier this month, Prime Video announced the series is renewed for Season 3 and revealed that Season 2 was “one of the 10 most watched seasons of any series ever on the service.” The Season 2 premiere reportedly “more than doubled Season 1’s viewership within three days of launch,” per a press release. And Amazon, plus showrunners Jenny Han and Sarah Kucserka, are excited to bring more of Belly’s story to screen.

“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon and MGM Studios said in a press release. “This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers. Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller, whose fans have been clamoring 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…”

How Many Episodes Will Be In The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3?

Though not much is known about The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 at this time, we do know how many episodes to expect when the series returns. With a 10-episode order, Season 3 will be TSITP‘s biggest yet. As a refresher, Season 2 had eight episodes, and Season 1 had seven episodes.

When Will The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Come Out On Prime Video?

Though there isn’t an official premiere date set for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, we do know new episodes won’t be arriving until the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes conclude. Amazon confirmed that production on Season 3 “will not begin until after labor negotiations with those unions have been resolved.”

Since Season 1 premiered in June 2022 and Season 2 premiered in July 2023, we have a feeling The Summer I Turned Pretty will stick to a summer release schedule. Whether Season 3 is written and filmed for a Summer 2024 release will depend on how quickly the strikes are resolved and writers and actors receive fair deals.

What Will The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Be About?

Based on the first two seasons, there’s a good chance The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 will adapt Han’s third book, We’ll Always Have Summer. If you want to avoid potential spoilers, this is your chance to stop reading, because we’re about to drop the book description. Here it comes. It’s coming. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

It’s here: “Belly has only ever been in love with two boys, both with the last name Fisher. And after being with Jeremiah for the last two years, she’s almost positive he is her soul mate. Almost. While Conrad has not gotten over the mistake of letting Belly go, Jeremiah has always known that Belly is the girl for him. So when Belly and Jeremiah decide to make things forever, Conrad realizes that it’s now or never — tell Belly he loves her, or lose her for good. Belly will have to confront her feelings for Jeremiah and Conrad and face the inevitable: She will have to break one of their hearts.”

Considering Season 2 ended with Jer and Belly rekindling their romance, we’ll likely see them dating in Season 3 — and how their love impacts Conrad. But there’s always a chance Han will stray from the Book 3 text and introduce more new characters and storylines, so nothing is set yet. But we can likely expect a Season 3 soundtrack packed with more Taylor Swift.

How Many Books Are In Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty Series?

Han’s series is a trilogy comprised of the following three books:

• The Summer I Turned Pretty (2010)
• It’s Not Summer Without You (2011)
• We’ll Always Have Summer (2012)

The fact that there are only three books and Season 3 received a larger episode order than the previous two could signal that The Summer I Turned Pretty may end next season. But like we said, based on the success of the series thus far there’s always a chance that Han will stray from the text and introduce more new characters and storylines to extend the TSITP-verse.
