On Aug. 3, Prime Video confirmed its hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on Jenny Han’s novels of the same name, has been renewed for season 3.
“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon and MGM Studios, in a press release.
“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 announcement also revealed that season 3 was officially greenlit ahead of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and production will not begin until “after labor negotiations with those unions have been resolved.”
Ahead, here’s everything we know about the upcoming season.

The new season will likely follow Han’s third and final novel in the franchise, We’ll Always Have Summer. The book takes place two years after the events of It’s Not Summer Without You as Belly once again finds herself questioning where her heart lies between the Fisher brothers. Only in the third book, she finally makes a decision.
Though season 2 strays from the books in various ways, when PEOPLE spoke with the cast in June, they all reiterated that a third season would likely follow the third book as much as possible.
“I know Jenny is really just strong on staying as true to the books as possible and hitting the main points,” Casalegno told PEOPLE. Meanwhile, Tung added, “There’s so many different ways you could go about it. There’s a blueprint of a book, which we’ve been lucky to have for two seasons now, just such a solid blueprint for us, and to have Jenny on set with us has been incredible.”
