Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty will have to wait at least a year for the surprise movie to be released.
Author Jenny Han was asked about the movie’s release date on Thursday, September 18, during a joint appearance on the Today show with Lola Tung, Chris Briney and Gavin Casalegno, saying, “It’s still a little too soon to say. But Sarah Kucserka, my co-showrunner, and I have finished a draft, so we’re chugging along.”
Han, 45, did confirm that 2026 would be too soon. “We don’t know when it’s coming out, but not next year,” she added. “We still have to make it.”
Prime Video announced on Wednesday, September 17, that they greenlit a feature film that will conclude The Summer I Turned Pretty story. Exact plot details are under wraps, but the script will be written by Han and Kucserka.

The show, which concluded on Wednesday, pulled inspiration from Han’s novels The Summer I Turned Pretty, It’s Not Summer Without You and We’ll Always Have Summer. With the finale concluding the love triangle between Belly (Tung), Conrad (Briney) and Jeremiah (Casalegno), it remains unclear for now what the movie will cover.
“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,” Courtenay Valenti, who is head of film, streaming and theatrical at Amazon MGM Studios, and Vernon Sanders, who is global head of television at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, shared on Wednesday. “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.”

Han also took the opportunity to weigh in on the theory about Belly’s wedding to Conrad being featured on screen.
“I can say that there is another big milestone for Belly, so we’ll continue with that journey,” Han added.
