Amazon has announced a The Summer I Turned Pretty movie.

Based on the best-selling book trilogy from Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama centered around a love triangle involving one girl and two brothers. It explores the complex bonds between mothers and their children, the strength of lasting female friendships, and the transformative journey of growing up. At its heart, it’s a coming-of-age tale about first love, first heartbreak, and the unforgettable magic of one perfect summer.

Since its debut back in the summer of 2022, the series has evolved into a veritable global phenomenon, culminating in its third and final season this summer and autumn. The first season became the most-watched show on Prime Video during its launch weekend. Season 2 more than doubled the viewership of its predecessor within the first three days. Season 3 drew 25 million viewers globally through its first 7 days and is the fifth most-watched returning season on Prime Video.

Season 3 has been helmed by showrunners Jenny Han and Sarah Kucserka, with both also serving as executive producers alongside Karen Rosenfelt, and Paul Lee, Hope Hartman, and Mads Hansen of wiip. The series is co-produced in partnership by Amazon MGM Studios and wiip.

While Season 3 was its final chapter on the small screen, though, Amazon has surprised fans with the news that it will conclude the story with a feature film directed by Jenny Han, and written by Han and Sarah Kucserka. While story details are still under wraps, the news was announced this week at the season finale’s red carpet celebration in Paris.

“The Summer I Turned Pretty has struck a chord with audiences everywhere, creating moments of joy, nostalgia, and connection that have made it a global sensation,” said Courtenay Valenti, head of film, streaming and theatrical at Amazon MGM Studios, and Vernon Sanders, Global Head of Television, at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. “We’re proud of the series’ extraordinary success and couldn’t be more excited to partner again with Jenny Han to bring fans an unforgettable next chapter.”

“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,” said Han.
