This story contains spoilers for the season three finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Just as I was drying my tears and rending my garments (okay, overstatement—but, like, barely) about the third season of The Summer I Turned Pretty coming to an end this week, good news appeared like manna from teen-drama heaven: Prime Video recently greenlit a feature film wrapping up the events of the season-three finale. So, even if we won’t be getting the fourth season that we all long for, the chance for fans of Lola Tung’s Belly Conklin (Bellissimas? Bell-erinas? Suggestions welcome!) to see her reliable boy drama play out on the big screen isn’t one to take for granted.
We don’t know the plot details of The Summer I Turned Pretty’s movie—which I will henceforth be referring to as The Summer I Turned Movie—just yet, but we do know that Jenny Han, who wrote the books on which the wildly popular TV show was based, will be penning the script (thank God).
“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,” Han said in a statement on Wednesday.
