The Summer I Turned Pretty may have aired its series finale, but there's still more story to tell.
On Wednesday, just hours after The Summer I Turned Pretty's final episode dropped and Belly (Lola Tung) made her final choice between Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), Prime Video announced that The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie is in the works. The movie will serve as the supersized finale for the series. The Summer I Turned Pretty author and showrunner Jenny Han is set to both write and direct.
"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 in a press release.
What will The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie be about?
Story details for The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie are under wraps for now, but Han's statement gives viewers a clue. She mentioned a "big milestone left in Belly's journey." What could that be?
Well, The Summer I Turned Pretty series closes with — spoiler alert! — Belly choosing her first love, Conrad Fisher. In that way, it follows Han's books, but there is a key element of their ending missing: their wedding!
The final book in the series, We'll Always Have Summer, ends with Belly and Conrad's wedding, and with Belly reading the letter Susannah (Rachel Blanchard) wrote for her to read on her wedding day. However, the wedding is missing from The Summer I Turned Pretty's finale, meaning that Belly and Conrad's wedding is likely going to be the "big milestone" Han mentioned.
When is The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie coming out?
The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie doesn't have a release date yet. However, Lola Tung and Christopher Briney are both confirmed to be reprising their roles as Belly and Conrad.
