Grab your beach chairs, babes, because Prime Video just dropped bombshell news. The Summer I Turned Pretty is getting a movie! Yes, Jenny Han’s teen dream-turned-streaming sensation is packing up the Cousins Beach chaos and taking it straight to the big screen. After three seasons of “team Conrad” vs. “team Jeremiah” in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, we are ready for a new round of drama at Dapper Diary. We’re now heading into one juicy cinematic showdown after months of debates that split friend groups faster than the Barbie vs. Oppenheimer movie showdown. So, mark your calendars, as Belly isn’t done just yet!
In case you blacked out from crying during The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 finale, we are here to help you catch up. Belly finally ditched the love triangle drama like last season’s fast fashion and chose Conrad (insert dramatic gasps and TikTok edits here). That finale wasn’t just about romance, though. It gave us closure, growth, and the kind of ugly sobbing you don’t admit to unless you’re watching alone at 2 a.m.
First up, Steven lands a shiny job offer in San Francisco, but does he tell Taylor? Nope. He keeps it under wraps until she inevitably finds out, cueing a stormy fight. However, you don’t have to worry about a breakup. Taylor and Steven make up with a dockside straddle, and suddenly they’re planning to move to the West Coast. As for Team Jeremiah, we are glad to see him move on. He’s officially Cousins’ culinary king, throwing an influencer-packed dinner party. He also patches things up with his dad. And he’s finally someone’s number one, as we see him share a swoony kiss with Denise.
However, let’s get back to Belly, because whew, Paris delivered. Conrad showed up unannounced at her apartment. He sat on the curb like some broody lover boy and waited for her. Then, he sees Belly, a bike, and a fresh new bob! As Benito leaves her at her doorstep with a romantic kiss, Conrad is still determined to patch things up with Belly.
When she sees him, she is confused and shocked and has a mile-long list of questions. Conrad says he’s here for a conference (sure, buddy) and is leaving for Berlin tomorrow. However, he wanted to celebrate her birthday together one last time. So, they decide to spend the day sightseeing and swooning, and Conrad drops lines like, “I remember every little thing you ever said,” which would be creepy from anyone else, but somehow, when Conrad says that, we get butterflies! We had the birthday dinner, and the night ended with Taylor Swift’s “Dress” setting the mood as the two hooked up. “I dream about this. You,” Conrad says as things are just picking up!
However, in true Belly fashion, the high didn’t last. She spiraled into full overthink mode: Is Conrad here because of love, or because it’s what Susannah would’ve wanted? Do they actually want each other? Or are they just tied together by grief and nostalgia? Conrad swore his feelings were real, but Belly wasn’t buying it. Conrad decides that he still needs to catch a train for Brussels, so he leaves her. Cue all of us screaming at our screens!
When Conrad leaves, Belly has a moment of realization: “I have brown hair and brown eyes, and I will always love Conrad Fisher.” Then came the grand rom-com climax: Belly sprinting through the station, infinity necklace swinging, shouting Conrad’s name. She finally found him, proclaimed her love—“I choose you in every world”—and sealed it with a kiss. We all have a collective meltdown! The finale closed with Belly and Conrad back in Cousins, together and blissfully happy. The end credits roll, and what’s this?
Author and showrunner Jenny Han isn’t just sitting back, counting her book royalties. She’s plotting world domination. At the end of the credits, we see a message directly from Jenny as she thanks the fans for watching TSITP, and a hint! A cute collage of Christmas pics of just Conrad and Belly snuggling together! The movie will pick up where the finale left us: Belly and Conrad stepping into the future together. However, we all know that Han isn’t about to let us bask in happily-ever-after sunshine for too long. If Cousins Beach has taught us anything, it’s that heartbreak and summer flings go together like SPF and sand. We are still hopeful that we might get one major milestone: Belly and Conrad’s wedding!
So who’s signed up for this cinematic glow-up? Lola Tung is back as Belly, Christopher Briney returns as broody heartthrob Conrad, and Gavin Casalegno will bring the messy-but-lovable Jeremiah energy. You can also expect Sean Kaufman (Steven) and Rain Spencer (Taylor) to stir things up with their witty banter. Yes, folks—the whole crew is coming back for The Summer I Turned Pretty movie. And because Prime loves a surprise cameo, don’t rule out a random A-lister popping in to play an eccentric Cousins neighbor.
We have word from Deadline that production is already in the works. The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is set to premiere on Prime Video in 2026. That gives you just enough time to rewatch all three seasons, scream into a pillow about Belly’s choices, and maybe stockpile tissues. We can easily say that Prime clearly knows what it’s doing. The Summer I Turned Pretty has been one of its buzziest shows since 2022, and this movie is set to break streaming records for sure!
Twitter (sorry, X) and TikTok have been collectively combusting since the announcement. The hashtag #TSITPMovie is already drowning in fancams, fan-casts, and fanfiction predictions. Some are begging for Belly to pull a plot twist and dump both Fisher brothers (chaotic neutral energy we’d secretly live for). Others are already shipping possible wedding storylines. Do we hear wedding bells in the distance, or maybe we need to calm down? Conrad and Belly are in their 20s, so maybe there might be a timeskip. Oh, and we are hearing rumors that the entire The Summer I Turn Pretty soundtrack is going to be written by Taylor Swift!
Look, we all know this is going to be the YA event of 2026. We can say with confidence that Prime has a goldmine on its hands. At Dapper Diary, we are excited for a whole new round of messy romances, gorgeous coastal settings, and Jenny Han’s knack for emotional gut punches. Will Belly and Conrad survive the pressures of adulthood? Will Jeremiah keep third-wheeling until he snaps? Will Cousins Beach get a spin-off series about Taylor’s summer glow-ups? These are all valid questions, and we’ll be front row with popcorn when the drama unfolds!
