The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is now official. Jenny Han confirmed the news during the series finale event in Paris on Wednesday. The film will continue Belly and Conrad’s story after the end of Season 3.

The show’s creator said the movie will give the final chapter its proper due. Prime Video approved the feature-length project as the conclusion to the three-season run. Fans had believed the story ended with the finale, but now the journey will continue.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie Will Be Written and Directed by Jenny Han

Jenny Han will write and direct the film. She is also the author of the original book trilogy. According to Reuters, Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios expressed strong support for the project.

The series launched in 2022 and became a global hit. It created emotional moments that resonated with teens and adults alike. The movie is planned to close out the full story of Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah.

Han hinted the movie will cover a milestone that fans know from the books. The final book, We’ll Always Have Summer, ends with Belly and Conrad’s wedding. While not confirmed, the adaptation is expected to bring this to the screen.

Season 3 Finale Was Not the End

The Season 3 finale dropped on Prime Video this week. Many fans thought it was the last episode. It tied up some loose ends, but readers of the books felt some key moments were missing.
