Read It, Watched It, Now LIVE It — Prime Book Club LIVE Hits Sydney This July

Get ready, book babes and binge-watchers, Prime Book Club LIVE is coming to Sydney, and it’s about to be your ultimate fandom dream come true.

On Thursday, July 31, Prime Video is rolling out the red carpet at Machine Hall for a free, star-studded event that blends your bookshelf and watchlist into one unforgettable night. Headlined by The Summer I Turned Pretty creator Jenny Han, stars Lola Tung and Rain Spencer, and Culpable trilogy author Mercedes Ron, Prime Book Club LIVE is turning page-to-screen magic into a full-blown immersive experience, and yes, you’re invited.

🌟 The Talent, The Hype, The Legacy

This marks Australia’s first-ever in-person appearance for The Summer I Turned Pretty cast and crew. With Season 3 of the global hit series launching July 16, Jenny Han, Lola Tung, and Rain Spencer will be in the building to dish on the show’s emotional finale, behind-the-scenes secrets, and how it became one of Prime Video’s most successful originals.

Also joining the lineup is Spanish author Mercedes Ron, whose steamy Culpable trilogy (My Fault, Your Fault, Our Fault) has taken the internet, and Prime Video,  by storm. Culpa Tuya became the platform’s biggest international launch ever, and with Culpa Nuestra landing in October, fans can expect juicy teases and exclusive reveals.

And if you’ve been spiralling since We Were Liars dropped? You're not alone. The dark mystery adaptation went #1 globally on Prime Video last month and will be spotlighted at the event, alongside sneak peeks of upcoming book-to-screen series.

📚 What to Expect

Hosted by Aussie fave Froomes (Lucinda Price), Prime Book Club LIVE will feature:

  • Live panels with authors and stars

  • Immersive set-inspired activations

  • A #BookTok panel powered by TikTok

  • Limited-edition giveaways

  • Behind-the-scenes reveals

  • And did we mention it's FREE?

This isn’t just a fan event, it’s a full-on sensory celebration of stories we’ve sobbed over, screamed at, and fallen for, whether we read the book first or got pulled in by the adaptation.
