After three record-breaking seasons, The Summer I Turned Pretty will return for a feature film, bringing Belly Conklin’s story to a cinematic conclusion.

The announcement was made by Jenny Han, the creator and author behind the hit series, during a celebratory event in Paris following the season 3 finale.

While the film is confirmed, fans will need to be patient – production has not yet begun, and there is no release date set.

What we do know is that Jenny Han is returning to write and direct the film, ensuring continuity in tone and vision. The script has been completed, but filming is yet to start.

Han has said she wants the cast to be “a little bit closer to adulthood”, suggesting a time jump both on and off screen. This means viewers will have to wait a while before they see Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah back on their screens.

With the third season leaving some major milestones unresolved for Belly and company, anticipation is high for what the film will deliver. Here’s everything you need to know about The Summer I Turned Pretty movie so far.
