The Summer I Turned Pretty Renewed for Third Season

Prime Video has ordered a ten-episode third season of its original series The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on the best-selling book trilogy by Jenny Han.

The coming-of-age series centers on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, while also touching on the relationship between mothers and their children and the power of female friendship. Season three was greenlit ahead of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and production will not begin until after labor negotiations with those unions have been resolved.

Season two of the series premiered on July 14 and has become one of the ten most-watched seasons of any series on the service. The finale is set to release on August 18.

The third season will be led by showrunners Han and Sarah Kucserka. Han, Kucserka and Karen Rosenfelt will serve as executive producers, along with Hope Hartman, Mads Hansen and Paul Lee for wiip. The series is a co-production between Amazon Studios and wiip.

“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios. “This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers. Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller, whose fans have been clamoring for the third chapter of this story. We’re excited today to share the news that they have a lot more summer to look forward to. Thank you to Jenny, Sarah Kucserka and Karen Rosenfelt and our friends at wiip for their remarkable work and partnership.”
