Maura Higgins, Perrie Edwards, and Chloe Burrows were thrilled to hear that a movie is planned to continue the story of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ and they weren’t the only celebrities reacting to the news.
After three seasons of anticipation, fans finally learned who Belly (Lola Tung) chose between the Fisher brothers in the romantic drama’s finale, which was released on Wednesday.
Although the show’s almost-flawless finale left many viewers in tears, those tears quickly turned to cheers when a follow-up movie was announced, promising to continue the story.
Jenny Han will write and direct the final movie, wrapping up the story of Belly’s love triangle between brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), which began with her book series.
Details about the story are currently being kept secret. However, the announcement was made at a stylish event in Paris on Wednesday, held to celebrate the end of the third season.
Jenny believes there’s one major event still to come in Belly’s story, and she feels it deserves to be told as a movie.
Honestly, I’m just bursting with gratitude for Prime Video! They’ve been incredible, truly believing in my story and giving me the chance to finally finish it and share this last piece with everyone who’s been following along. It means the world to me that they let me bring my vision to life!
Fans were thrilled with the announcement and quickly shared their surprise and excitement on social media.
Several well-known people responded to the announcement, including Love Island’s Chloe, who commented on The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Instagram post, excitedly writing: ‘UHHHH I LOVE SO MUCH!’
She later reposted the news to her Instagram Stories late at night, writing, ‘I just randomly woke up and saw this. I only want a sweet and happy love story from you both, please.’
Jessie Wynter, also a former contestant on the show, shared a video celebrating the news, excitedly exclaiming, ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty movie isn’t finished yet!’
She shared the news on Instagram, expressing her shock and excitement about a movie adaptation of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty.’ She wrote, ‘TSITP movie !! Who else is SHOCKED by this??! Sooo excited!’
Okay, seriously, when I saw Nat O’Leary’s reaction to the movie announcement, I *lost* it! She just wrote ‘SCREAMING’ – which, same, honestly – and then called it the ‘best news of 2025’! I mean, she *gets* it. She totally understands how amazing this is going to be! It just validated all my excitement, seeing her freak out too!
She posted a video showing her panicked state while preparing for bed, telling her followers, ‘You don’t realize how excited I am! A new movie is on the way!’
‘This is the best news of 2025, wow. I’m so happy, Connie baby you did it!’
Maura Higgins expressed her excitement about the movie announcement by reposting a video from Kierra Lewis, who was joyfully reacting to the news. Higgins captioned the reel with, ‘THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY MOIE!!!!! THE STORY ISN’T DONE’.
Jennifer Tran, known from Dancing With The Stars and The Bachelorette, shared her overwhelmed joy in a comment, writing, ‘I’m feeling so sick but also so happy, I don’t even know what to think!’
Okay, let me tell you, as someone who follows pop culture and romance, I was *completely* swept away by the season finale! I shared my excitement on social media, and honestly, it felt like a lifetime in the making. Huge credit to Jenny Han, the creator and writer – she’s a total legend! It sounds dramatic, but watching it genuinely restored my faith in true love! It was just *that* good.
As the highly anticipated finale aired, more celebrities shared their positive reactions and appreciation for the show.
Perrie Edwards, from the group Little Mix, has often talked about how much she enjoys the show, and recently shared that she cried so hard during an episode last month that she got a headache.
The 32-year-old singer made sure she was comfortable to watch the finale, throwing a party with decorations like roses, candles, and balloons. She also had plenty of snacks, including popcorn, chips, and a chocolate cake.
I was totally obsessed with that kiss between Belly and Conrad on the show, just like everyone else! I even made a video of me and my friends freaking out while watching the final episode – it was *that* good. Alix Earle clearly felt the same way, and I loved seeing her share that moment with her followers.
Okay, let’s be real. I was with a group of friends watching something on TV, and the reaction was…intense! There were definitely gasps, a lot of ‘Oh my gods!’ and someone even confessed they felt a little queasy – in a good way, of course! It was one of those moments where we all just had to admit, ‘We are *not* okay!’ – and by that, we meant it was seriously steamy!
After season three ended on Wednesday, Jenny strongly suggested there might be more episodes to come.
The episode concluded with a letter from Jenny, suggesting that viewers haven’t seen the last of the Cousins.
I’m incredibly grateful for all the love you’ve shown *The Summer I Turned Pretty* over the years. Whether you’ve been following Belly’s story since the first book or discovered it with the show, I’m so happy it’s become a part of your summers.
Before strongly suggesting the show might come back, they shared a heartfelt message, saying they poured everything into the series and were grateful for the audience’s support throughout its run.
‘Maybe we’ll meet again one summer in Cousins. Until then – all my love always, Jenny.’
Many fans were relieved to hear there would be more to the story, as they felt the last part had been too fast-paced and were disappointed it didn’t include a wedding.
The eleventh episode, titled ‘At Last,’ finally showed who Belly truly loves. After canceling her wedding to Jeremiah, it became clear her feelings remained with his brother, Conrad, who she previously dated.
The last scene of the previous episode revealed Conrad had switched his flight from Brussels to Paris so he could surprise Belly on her birthday, a day they usually celebrate together.
The story ended with Conrad showing up at Belly’s apartment, after she’d given him the address.
They share a romantic birthday evening together, and the show ends with them happily returning to Cousins, holding hands.
After watching the final episode, many viewers said they were moved to tears by the show’s emotional journey.
Fans took to social media to express their sadness over the finale of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty.’ Many shared emotional reactions, with posts like ‘Yes, I’m crying!’ and ‘I’m a mess!’ reflecting how deeply the show resonated with them.
Jenny really loved this episode and is incredibly grateful! Many viewers are deeply emotional about the show ending, especially ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ which they found to be perfect. People are expressing intense sadness and are crying a lot now that it’s finished.
You know, after years of observing relationships, I’ve realized the most beautiful communication isn’t about grand gestures, but pure, unfiltered expression. Seeing someone lay their heart bare, like simply saying ‘Jenny, I love you,’ feels like witnessing the ultimate connection – a love that truly feels limitless and can overcome anything. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful message is the simplest one.
Okay, so everyone was obsessed with the finale, and I *loved* how things ended for Conrad and Belly! But honestly? I was a little heartbroken we didn’t actually *see* their wedding. I mean, after everything, I just needed to see them officially become husband and wife! It felt like a tiny piece was missing, even though the ending was still perfect. I’m still holding out hope for some bonus content, maybe?!
Viewers expressed disappointment with the finale, feeling it lacked closure and was rushed. Many were upset that the story didn’t include a wedding or even an engagement, and felt the focus on Belly’s personal growth overshadowed the desire for a happy ending. They questioned the meaning of the conclusion and found the scenes with her friends in Paris unnecessary.
Fans are upset about the lack of a wedding in the show, especially after waiting three seasons for it. They feel a wedding scene was crucial for a satisfying ending and that even a few more minutes showing the engagement or wedding – ideally by the ocean, a recurring theme in the show – would have been perfect.
Someone else stammered, obsessing over details like the wedding dress, the ring, and a letter from Susannah, seemingly unable to move past them.
Fans were upset when a wedding scene, originally included in the ending of the third book, was left out.
However, the news about the movie changed things, leading many to believe the wedding would be shown, but as part of the movie itself.
