"We were away for a while... so it’s good to be back."
The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is based on Jenny Han's best-selling book series of the same name, is returning for its third and final season – and we now have a teaser trailer and an official release date.
Speaking previously (via Deadline), Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah) said that he was "really excited to see what comes next" for all of the characters, but especially to find out what awaits Jeremiah and Belly, who are head over heels for one another in the new footage, which you can watch towards the bottom of this page.
"We’ve all been so close," said Christopher Briney (Conrad) of making season 3. "It’s our third year, which is kind of crazy. I miss them a lot [when we're not filming]. We were away for a while... so it’s good to be back, reunited, where it all started."

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 plot: What will happen?
"It's the end of her junior year of college and Belly’s looking forward to another summer in Cousins with her soulmate, Jeremiah," reads the official logline.
"Her future seems set, until some core-shaking events bring her first love Conrad back into her life.
"Now on the brink of adulthood, Belly finds herself at a crossroads and must decide which brother has her heart. Summer will never be the same…"
Fans of the books will already be well acquainted with what unfolds in season 3, but Han has also been teasing some deviations along the way.
"There are the things that [fans] know and then there are things they think they know," she told Entertainment Weekly. "And then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them."
But just in case you're worried about what that means for the direction of the narrative, Lola Tung (Belly) has some words of comfort.
"The one thing I've always admired about Jenny is that every season and every decision about what's coming next is purely to serve the story," she said.
"She's never going to do anything that doesn't make sense for the story. It's all about this beautiful world she's created and giving the fans something really, really special and giving us something really special to work with."
