“The Summer I Turned Pretty” has officially been renewed for a third season. The season will consist of 10 episodes, per Amazon Studios, and Jenny Han — who wrote the books the show is based on — will return as showrunner.
“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” Amazon and MGM Studios Head of Television Vernon Sanders said in a statement. “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.”
The show was renewed for a third season prior to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, according to a press release, and its release date remains contingent on the length of the strike. The news about season three comes in the midst of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” season two, which is currently airing weekly episodes on Prime Video, with the finale set to premiere on Aug. 18.
