Less than 24 hours after its finale aired, it can now be confirmed that a The Summer I Turned Pretty film is on the way.
On Thursday (September 18th), Prime Video announced that the global hit series’ story will now end with a feature film, written and directed by Jenny Han.
“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, head of film, streaming and theatrical at Amazon MGM Studios, and Vernon Sanders, Global Head of Television, at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios said in a joint statement.
“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 added: “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.”
Adapted from Han’s best-selling trilogy, The Summer I Turned Pretty has evolved into a global phenomenon since its 2022 premiere.
