The Summer I Turned Pretty creator and author Jenny Han teases season 3’s release window. The popular Prime Video adaptation, based on creator Han’s novel trilogy of the same name, focuses on Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung) and what happens once she finds herself in a love triangle with two brothers: Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Even though The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 was renewed back in August 2023, new episodes have been delayed by the writers’ and actors’ strikes which impacted filming across Hollywood. But the wait may soon be over.

In a post on Instagram, which was timed to the holidays, Han hinted that the show’s return will feature a Christmas episode. In the caption of the post, which is included below, Han also teases season 3 will be released in summer 2025. The author wrote: “Can’t wait to spend Christmas in Cousins with you guys this summer.” This would maintain a tradition for the series of holding true to its title, despite the long delay, as previous seasons have similarly released in the summer months.
