The Summer I Turned Pretty Star Reveals Season Three Is an Emotional Rollercoaster as Love Triangle Evolves

Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty Premieres with Drama, Romance, and a Time Jump

The highly anticipated third season of The Summer I Turned Pretty debuts on Prime Video on July 16, promising more emotional twists in Belly Conklin’s love triangle. Ahead of the premiere, stars Lola Tung (Belly), Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah), and Christopher Briney (Conrad) appeared on The Tonight Show to tease the final chapter of the hit teen drama.

Love Triangle Heats Up
Season 2 ended with Belly choosing Jeremiah over his brooding older brother, Conrad—a decision that left fans reeling. When host Jimmy Fallon asked Tung about the cliffhanger, she replied, “I’m all for her following her heart. She’s doing what she needs to do in the moment.” Casalegno and Briney remained tight-lipped, though a Season 3 trailer hints at Conrad’s determination to win Belly back.

A Mature New Chapter
Season 3 jumps forward four years, showing the characters in a “more mature place,” as Tung teased. Conrad, now a med student, seeks advice from Belly’s best friend Taylor (Rain Spencer) about reentering her life. Meanwhile, tensions simmer between Belly and Jeremiah, whose relationship faces new challenges.

Fashion and Fan Frenzy
During her Tonight Show appearance, Tung stunned in a vintage John Galliano for Dior corset dress and matching pumps, embodying Belly’s evolving style. The show’s blend of heartfelt storytelling and summer aesthetics has made it a cultural phenomenon, with fans dubbing watch parties “Summer Fridays.”

A Farewell to Cousins Beach
The final season, spanning 10 episodes, adapts the conclusion of Jenny Han’s bestselling book trilogy. Vernon Sanders, head of Amazon MGM Studios, praised the series for resonating with a “young, diverse audience” and credited Han’s storytelling. Since its 2022 debut, the show has become one of Prime Video’s top releases, with Season 2 leaving fans “crying hard enough to get migraines.”

The Final Choice
As Belly navigates adulthood, viewers will finally learn if she ends up with Jeremiah or Conrad. With new stills showing tender moments and lingering glances, the season promises to deliver the emotional payoff fans crave.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Seasons 1-3 are streaming on Prime Video.
