The Summer I Turned Pretty is getting a feature-film continuation to close Belly’s story, with writer-director Jenny Han spearheading the project for Prime Video. The movie will conclude the coming‑of‑age romance adapted from Han’s book trilogy, centering on Belly’s choice between Conrad and Jeremiah. Plot specifics are being kept under wraps for now, but the announcement signals a formal end to the television arc and a new chapter in the franchise.
The news dropped amid a glamorous Paris event celebrating the season three finale, where Han publicly teased that Belly’s journey has another milestone left to reach and that a film felt like the proper vehicle to give it its due. Han’s statement underscored that the project would be built to honor the beloved characters that fans have followed across three seasons.
The film will be written and directed by Han and continues to star Lola Tung as Belly, with Christopher Briney portraying Conrad and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah. While plot details remain closely guarded, the project is framed as a conclusive adaptation that brings Bell y’s story to a cinematic close, allowing fans to revisit the beloved Cousins Beach romance in a new format.
Fans and celebrities reacted with unbridled enthusiasm on social media. Among the most vocal were Maura Higgins, Perrie Edwards and Chloe Burrows, who led a chorus of excitement about the news, calling it “the best news of 2025” and shouting that “IT’S NOT OVER!” The trio’s comments came as the finale sparked an outpouring of emotion from viewers who had waited three seasons to see Belly’s fate with the two Fisher brothers.
Chloe Burrows was one of the earliest to respond to the official Instagram announcement, posting a comment that read: “UHHHH I LOVE SO MUCH.” She later shared the news in her Stories with the message: “Just woken up randomly and seen this. I want NO jeopardy just a beautiful lovely love story from you two pls.” Fellow former Islander Jessie Wynter posted a celebratory video, exclaiming: “THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY MOVIE?!! IT'S NOT OVER,” and adding: “TSITP movie !! Who else is SHOCKED by this??! Sooo excited!” BBC Radio 1’s Nat O’Leary echoed the fan frenzy, writing “SCREAMING” and labeling the announcement the “best news of 2025” while filming herself reacting in disbelief.
The reactions extended beyond guesswork and glee, with fans describing the finale as near‑perfect but also noting unresolved questions about wedding plans. Perrie Edwards, a long‑time devotee of the show, hosted a finale viewing party with roses, candles and snacks, underscoring how deeply viewers connected to Belly’s love story. Alix Earle shared excitement over Belly and Conrad’s kiss, posting a clip of her friends reacting to the scene and admitting, “We’re not OK.”
Season three’s conclusion left fans with mixed feelings about tying up all loose ends in a single television finale. Episode 11, titled At Last, revealed which sibling Belly’s heart truly favors after she calls off her wedding to Jeremiah to pursue her feelings for Conrad. The finale also featured a birthday surprise for Belly and a final shot that saw Belly and Conrad walking hand in hand back toward Cousins, leaving some viewers feeling that the wedding moment had been rushed or omitted. The post‑episode letter from Jenny Han hinted that the show could return in some form, saying, “Maybe we’ll meet again one summer in Cousins.” The message fueled speculation that the wedding might still appear in the forthcoming film, providing relief to fans who had called for a more deliberate conclusion.
The news of a feature film comes with the caveat that plot specifics are being kept under wraps. Han said the move to a cinematic finale aims to honor Belly’s journey and give fans a proper closing chapter. Prime Video executives expressed gratitude for Han’s continued stewardship of the narrative and reiterated their support for delivering Belly’s final chapter in a way that respects the source material and the show’s devoted audience.
For many fans, the announcement is confirmation that The Summer I Turned Pretty will create one final, definitive moment for Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah. While expectations for a wedding scene in the film remain a topic of online debate, the prospect of a cinematic ending has fans hopeful that the nuptials—if not in the finale itself, then in the film—will arrive in a way that satisfies the love triangle’s emotional arc while staying true to Jenny Han’s vision. As the franchise transitions to film, industry watchers will be watching to see how the adaptation balances the intimate, beach‑side romance with an expanded story that a feature‑length format allows.
In Paris, the mood among fans and talent alike was celebratory but measured, with many emphasizing gratitude toward Prime Video for continuing the story and giving Belly’s world one more chance to unfold on screen. As the project moves forward, viewers will be eager to learn how the movie will reconcile the characters’ journeys across both the TV run and the source novels, and how it will reflect the tone that made The Summer I Turned Pretty a cultural touchstone for a generation of viewers.
