Prime Video Confirms The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie: Belly’s Final Chapter Is Coming

Were you as unsatisfied with last night’s The Summer I Turned Pretty finale as we were? Same. But don’t spiral just yet, Prime Video has come through with the announcement fans have been begging for: a The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is officially happening.

The news dropped in Paris during the show’s red-carpet finale celebration (very chic), and it’s not just any continuation, Jenny Han herself will write and direct the feature film. In other words, Belly’s story is staying in the hands of the person who knows her best.

Han teased that this really is the final step in Belly’s journey:

“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due,” she said.

Translation: grab the tissues, because this last chapter is going to wreck us in the best way.

Let’s be real: The Summer I Turned Pretty has been a cultural reset ever since it dropped in 2022. The vibes? Pure summer nostalgia. The love triangle? Messy in all the right ways. And the numbers? Huge. Season 3 pulled 25 million viewers in its first week, making it one of Prime Video’s most-watched returning series.

Prime execs called it a “global sensation”, which is basically Hollywood speak for we’d be dumb not to keep this train rolling.

If you’ve been Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah (or just Team Belly, figuring it all out), you know the Season 3 ending left a lot of people screaming into their pillows. That’s why this surprise movie announcement feels like the closure we all need. Think of it as our last trip to Cousins Beach, but bigger, messier, and way more emotional.

  • It’s a movie. Not a mini-series, not a special episode, a full-blown film.

  • Jenny Han is in charge. She’s writing and directing.

  • The plot is under wraps. But if you’ve read the books, you’ve got a good idea of where this is headed.

  • It’s the end. This is officially Belly’s last chapter.

One More Summer

Prime Video just dropped the mic: The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is happening, and Belly’s story is finally getting the cinematic goodbye it deserves. So whether you’re ride-or-die Team Conrad, hopelessly loyal to Team Jeremiah, or simply in it for the Cousins Beach vibes, prepare yourself.

Because summer isn’t over just yet.
