‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3: Everything to Know So Far

Since The Summer I Turned Pretty premiered, Han has discussed incorporating Swift’s extensive discography in crucial onscreen moments.

Season 1 used several tracks including “Cruel Summer,” “Lover,” “The Way I Loved You (Taylor’s Version)” and “This Love (Taylor’s Version).” Meanwhile, the second season raised the bar with nearly twice as many songs such as “August,” “Sweet Nothing,” “Delicate (Taylor’s Version),” “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” and “Exile.”

It is probably safe to assume that Swift’s music will continue to play a huge role on the show.

The last book in The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy follows Belly in college as she’s still dating Jeremiah following her split from Conrad. A series of events leads to Belly and Jeremiah getting engaged — just as Conrad comes back to town. Belly must figure out what she really wants for her future including whether that means choosing a Fisher brother or leaving them both behind.

Will Season 3 Take Direct Inspiration From ‘We’ll Always Have Summer’?

As speculation swirls about how the third season will adapt Han’s source material, Casalegno has previously showed his support for a shakeup to the outcome of the central love triangle.

“I do feel like there’s a strong chance that that’s a possibility,” he exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2023 about the show potentially straying from the original events in the books. “Obviously, I know where [my character Jeremiah] ends up going and what ends up happening. But I don’t emphasize on that. Because I think Jenny writes it so well that I’m able to kind of get there naturally without having to force it a certain direction.”

Season 2 introduced Steven and Taylor as a couple even though they weren’t explored in the books. During an exclusive interview with Us, Kaufman discussed how the shakeup was exciting for him to explore.

“I know for me, Steven not really being in the books takes some pressure off my back. It allows me to really put who I think I am into this character vs. trying to maybe be something I’m not,” he told Us in August 2023. “I think in terms of Steven and Taylor’s arc together, it was a little freeing [when] nobody even knows it’s coming. There’s no expectation so I have fun with this scene partner I have.”

Kaufman didn’t appear too concerned about Steven and Taylor’s future, adding, “I think [they can go the] distance. We’re going for speed. I think Steven and Taylor work really well together.”

Spencer, for her part, was also thrilled about how Taylor’s arc developed on screen.

“We had like multiple conversations with Jenny and [she has] such a clear picture in her head. She’s so good at navigating this world and making it so completely relatable,” she shared at the time. “Like Sean said, [Stevan and Taylor] grew up together. So at least in Taylor’s point of view, she has loved this person in every single one of his dorky, weird and awkward phases. She’s just undeniably in awe of this person growing up. It’s like if you love someone in every single stage that they’ve had in their life, that doesn’t go away.”

Despite there not being an official announcement about the future of the show, viewers have assumed that season 3 might be the last because of the book series only had three novels. Prime Video, however, seemingly has plans to expand The Summer I Turned Pretty universe.

“I will say stay tuned, but Jenny’s got some exciting surprises. So we’re thrilled about a season 3, and she’s got a vision for more,” the head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios Vernon Sanders told Deadline in September 2023. “This show is going to continue to be a huge centerpiece for us, and we absolutely have plans to continue building it. Jenny’s got great vision for where she wants to go with all of it, but we’re already hard at work developing complementary pieces.”
