The Summer I Turned Pretty Final Season Trailer Teases Wedding and Love Triangle Drama
The battle for Belly’s heart is set to intensify in the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty, with a new trailer revealing a wedding, a love triangle, and plenty of drama. According to Entertainment Weekly, the trailer for the third and final season of Prime Video’s adaptation of Jenny Han’s beloved book trilogy has been released, showcasing a significant time jump and a major plot twist.
The trailer begins with sweet shots of Belly (Lola Tung) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) acting like the perfect couple, now that they’re at college together. However, as Entertainment Weekly reports, Conrad (Christopher Briney) tells a woman about his first and only love, Belly, while he’s away in California, reigniting the love triangle. Belly tries to convince herself that Conrad is "the past" and Jeremiah is her "future" and "the one," but the trailer suggests that she still has feelings for Conrad.
As Entertainment Weekly notes, "First loves are important," Belly says in the trailer, which features a mashup of Taylor Swift’s "Red (Taylor’s Version)" and "Daylight." "But they’re not as important as lasts." The trailer ends with a cliffhanger, showing Belly getting engaged to Jeremiah, but it’s clear that her feelings for Conrad are still strong.
The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty picks up at "the end of her junior year in college," which is a departure from Han’s final book in the series, We’ll Always Have Summer, which is set two summers earlier. According to Entertainment Weekly, Han previously told the publication that fans of her books should prepare for changes from the source material.
As Entertainment Weekly quotes, Han said: "There are surprises. And there are things that aren’t exactly like the books." When the final season begins, Belly is still with Jeremiah after choosing him over Conrad in the season 2 finale. However, "some core-shaking events" bring Conrad back into her life, reigniting the feelings she long thought were buried.
Han previously told Entertainment Weekly that she hopes the conclusion of the series will be "satisfying" for fans, regardless of which team they support. As she noted: "A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken. Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there’s no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone’s going to be hurt by it."
The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres on Wednesday, July 16, with episodes rolling out weekly on Prime Video. Fans can watch the full trailer on YouTube and get a glimpse of what’s to come in the final season of the hit series.
In related news, Entertainment Weekly has reported that the show’s author-showrunner, Jenny Han, has warned fans to prepare for surprises and changes from the source material. With the final season just around the corner, fans will have to wait and see how the story unfolds and which Fisher brother Belly ultimately chooses.
