Author Jenny Han, creator of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty', reveals that the series' conclusion was planned from the outset, and provides details about upcoming movie adaptations.
In an exciting development for fans of Jenny Han's beloved trilogy, "The Summer I Turned Pretty," official statements have confirmed that a feature-length film is in the works. This movie, set to be the actual series finale, will pick up directly after the final third season and is expected to start filming soon.
The film, which has been greenlit, will see the return of the main cast and will be directed by Jenny Han herself. Han, author of the original trilogy, will also co-write the script with Sarah Kucserka.
Rumours about Jeremiah and Belly's storyline after spotting Casalegno and Tung filming in Paris sparked speculation among fans. However, it appears that these clips were a ruse to protect the ending for the audience. The ending of the books remains the endgame for the series, with Conrad being the one Belly ends up with.
Belly's questioning of Conrad's intentions in their conversation is due to her own insecurities and past experiences, not because of any competition between Jeremiah and Conrad. Similarly, Jeremiah's intentions with pursuing Belly were not about competition with Conrad.
The story details for the movie are being kept quiet to maintain the surprise for the audience. Han has remained mum when asked if there is no more love triangle and that Conrad and Belly are the endgame in the film.
College can often be a cocoon for relationships, but the question remains whether they are built to last beyond that environment. The exploration of Jeremiah and Belly's relationship throughout the show was to showcase their genuine love story, despite Belly ultimately ending up with Conrad.
It is too early to say if the entire cast will star in the final season. The series finale departed from the books, leaving fans wondering about the love triangle. However, Han confirmed that the endgame for the series was always going to be Conrad.
The movie will wrap up Belly's story, providing closure to the fans who have followed her journey since the first book. Amazon Prime Video, in collaboration with Han, has released official statements about the film through press releases, Instagram announcements, and coverage by entertainment media such as Cosmopolitan and TV Movie.
Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated film!
