But in a surprise twist, creator and author Jenny Han revealed that Belly’s story isn’t finished just yet. The announcement of a new film not only extends the beloved saga but also serves as a fresh opportunity to amplify the show’s ever-growing popularity.Live EventsSocial media influencers, top brands, and even celebrities jumped on the viral “Team Conrad” versus “Team Jeremiah” trend. Taylor Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates were even asked to pick sides—though most admitted they had no idea what the buzz was about.Despite a long hiatus caused by the dual Hollywood strikes in 2023, The Summer I Turned Pretty returned in full force. Season 3 drew an impressive 25 million viewers worldwide in its opening week—a 40% surge over Season 2 and nearly three times the viewership of the debut season. Amazon Prime Video’s weekly release strategy appears to have paid off handsomely, making it clear why extending the series is not just a creative choice, but a smart financial one.ALSO READ: D4vd’s old ‘leaked’ song with same name as girl found in his Tesla has disturbing lyrics? New revelations emergeWhy was the movie announced so quickly?At the Paris premiere of the series finale, Amazon Prime Video announced that The Summer I Turned Pretty would be coming back with a movie. The announcement was accompanied by a photo of stars Lola Tung and Christopher Briney only, indicating that the movie would primarily focus on them.In a statement about the movie, Han shared, “There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due. I’m so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans.”The conclusion of the series wasn’t improvised—it had been mapped out back when the writers’ room first outlined season three. While the finale did follow the endgame of Jenny Han’s book trilogy, it left out several pivotal moments. Fans were quick to notice that major milestones in Belly and Conrad’s relationship—like their engagement, wedding, and married life—were completely absent. Even more frustrating, the finale gave the couple no meaningful interactions with family or friends.ALSO READ: D4vd and Celeste Rivas were together before her death? Viral images surface after girl’s decomposed body found in his TeslaSome sharp-eyed fans suspected something was up, especially after spotting Han’s cryptic note at the end of the show: “Maybe we’ll meet again one summer in Cousins.” Their hunch? A movie was on the way to fill in the missing pieces.That hunch proved right. The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie is set to revisit those skipped-over storylines and expand on what came after Conrad and Belly’s emotional love declaration on the train. But is it truly a movie? Not exactly—it plays more like an extended epilogue to season three rather than a standalone film.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
