Will The Summer I Turned Pretty Return for Another Season?

The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on the books by Jenny Han (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), has quickly become a cultural phenomenon. The series follows Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung) who finds herself in a sticky love triangle with her childhood friend Conrad (Christopher Briney) and his younger brother Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). The third season, originally planned as the series finale, is now streaming on Prime Video, but fans are still eager for more of the story. Ahead, here’s everything we know about the future of TSITP.

Will there be a season 4 of The Summer I Turned Pretty?

Unfortunately, no—but for good reason. The series is based on Jenny Han’s trilogy of novels (The Summer I Turned Pretty, It’s Not Summer Without You, and We’ll Always Have Summer). Each season of the show likely corresponds to a book in the series, so with three books in total, it makes sense that the show would end at season 3.

But wait—what about a spinoff?

Han has said that she’s open to exploring more of TSITP universe, whether that’s an eventual sequel or even a spinoff series.

“Never say never,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I never do. If the story is there, then I’m there. As a storyteller, you just get hit with inspiration all the time. If I had a really great idea that I was excited by, that I wanted to keep telling the story, and if [the stars] were excited to do it, then I would be so pumped. It really depends on if I feel like there is more story to tell.”

She continued, “I love working with all these guys, that’s at the core of it. I would always welcome working with them on this, or something else. Who knows what the future holds?”

Tung shares Han’s love for the cast, and would also be open to returning should the opportunity ever arise. “I love working with this group of people and I love working with Jenny,” she said. “I think it’s such a privilege to be any part of her cinematic universe, so if I was ever asked, I’m there.”
