Will There Be The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 4?

Warning: The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 finale spoilers ahead.

Well. After that finale, we need to know—are we getting The Summer I Turned Pretty season 4?

The TV series has been running for three years but seems to have reached cult-watch level this year with its third season, which is based on (but not totally committed to) Jenny Han’s final novel, We’ll Always Have Summer. The YA book trilogy is about a young woman, Belly (Lola Tung), stuck between her love for two brothers, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney).

As we now know—and anticipated from the beginning—Belly ultimately chose Conrad and their “infinite” love. But not before a few twists and turns, and a crazed run through Paris’s Gare du Nord station to catch him on the train out of Paris and declare her love. We’re getting Love, Actually vibes.

Seeing as the story is told through a trilogy of books and we’ve had three seasons, is the show all wrapped up? Could we possibly get one more season, or even a spin-off, out of it? Here’s what we know about the potential for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 4.

Will there be The Summer I Turned Pretty season 4?

Not on TV, no. “Three books, three seasons. It feels right to me,” author Jenny Han, who is also executive producer of the series, told Entertainment Weekly.

Season 1 was based on the first book of the trilogy, The Summer I Turned Pretty; season 2 followed the second, It’s Not Summer Without You; and season 3 is based on the final book, We’ll Always Have Summer.

But—and this is a big but—just hours after the finale premiered, Amazon confirmed that Bonrad’s not over yet. There’s a movie in the works. Yes, really.

What do we know about The Summer I Turned Pretty movie?

On September 17, the same day the season 3 finale aired on Prime Video, Jenny Han said in a statement that a movie is in the works that will cover one more of Belly’s “milestones.” Perhaps a Bonrad wedding? A Bonrad baby? Will Laurel discover she’s about to be a grandma in the middle of her singles’ cruise??

“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due,” Han said. “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.”

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, added in a joint statement, “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. 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.”

What about a Summer I Turned Pretty spin-off?

At the time of this writing, there are no confirmed plans for a TSITP spin-off; however, we’re not prepared to give up hope yet. Remember, Jenny Han created XO, Kitty, which was a spin-off from her book series To All The Boys… and followed protagonist Lara Jean’s sister Kitty as she studies abroad in South Korea.
