Created by Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty is an American coming-of-age romantic drama television series. It is based on the novel of the same name by Jenny Han. The executive producers of the show include Hope Hartman, Mads Hansen, Nne Ebong, Jesse Peretz, Karen Rosenfelt, Gabrielle Stanton and Jenny Han.
The first season of the show premiered on June 17, 2022, on Amazon Prime Video. The show received positive responses from critics and the audience. Considering that, the series was renewed for a second season.
So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who would come back to reprise their roles? Continue reading to know further details.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Plot and Cast
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 1 is a pretty loyal adaptation of the entire first book so our guess is that Season 2 will be an adaptation of the second book: It’s Not Summer Without You. If so, we’re sorry to report that Susannah tragically dies in the second book and this causes Conrad to grow distant from Belly and insist that she be with Jeremiah instead of him.
The It’s Not Summer Without You book synopsis reads: “It used to be that Belly counted the days until summer – until she was back at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. But not this year. Not after Susannah got sick again, and Conrad stopped caring. Everything right and good have fallen apart, leaving Belly wishing summer would never come.”
In other words, Belly and Jeremiah’s potential romance is far from over and, if Season 2 doesn’t stray far from the book, there’s a lot of heartbreak and grief to come in Season 2.
Prime Video hasn’t confirmed who will be back for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 at the moment but, based on the books, we bet that pretty much all the main characters will return. In other words, expect Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman and Minnie Mills to all come back.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 Release Date
As it stands, Prime Video is yet to reveal when The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 is coming out. However, considering that it’s already been renewed, we imagine that filming will begin in the coming months.
Just like Season 1, we reckon that Prime Video will be aiming to drop Season 2 in summer so a June/July 2023 release date is possible. Prime Video is yet to reveal how many episodes they’ve ordered for Season 2 but there’s a good chance that there will be the same amount as Season 1, so seven new episodes in total.
