The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3: Renewal, Cast, Story & Everything We Know

<

With Amazon’s release of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, the big question is whether there is any The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 news — and when it will arrive. The first season of The Summer I Turned Pretty was a hit for Amazon. It dominated social media chatter even before the series was made available to stream, and the second season followed suit, so it’s easy to see why The Summer I Turned Pretty has been granted a season 3.

A trilogy of novels by Jenny Han provides the basis for the series with each season based on one of those novels, though The Summer I Turned Pretty has made changes from the book storylines in small ways. Following that particular format, The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 would be based on We’ll Always Have Summer, the final novel about Belly’s (Lola Tung) summer adventures in love. The last novel takes Belly to college and beyond, which could be a perfect ending for the Amazon series as well if the streamer opted to end The Summer I Turned Pretty with season 3.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Story

While The Summer I Turned Pretty as a whole is a coming-of-age story, the third novel in the trilogy, We’ll Always Have Summer, is the one in which the characters truly grow up. If The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 story follows the novels, it would feature Belly graduating from high school, attending college, and preparing for the future. The third novel also jumps forward in time to Belly’s college graduation and beyond, allowing the audience to see just where she ends up – and who she is with.

How The Season 2 Finale Set Up The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3

The Summer I Turn Pretty season 3 story isn’t directly set up by the events of season 2. In the finale, Belly understands the feelings of the two boys who have pulled on her heart for the last few years, and it does influence the love story of season 3. By the end of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, Belly has had a chance to explore her own feelings about both Conrad and Jeremiah.

Season 3 should see Belly able to look at each of her relationships through a more mature lens. After all the love and loss she’s experienced, Belly will have a better understanding of her own heart and more of a willingness to be open and honest about her own feelings. That is what will allow her to finally choose between them, as she does in the novel. While The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3’s story doesn’t necessarily have to have the same ending as the novel, all the events so far have been leading to Belly making that ultimate choice.
