Fans of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' were hit with a wave of nostalgia and emotion as the trailer for its third and final season dropped just hours ago. Set to premiere on 16th July, the upcoming season promises heartbreak, healing and the ultimate resolution to Belly Conklin&rsquo;s years-long love triangle with brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher.
A Two-Year Time Jump and New Complications
Season 3 picks up two years after Belly (Lola Tung) made her controversial choice in the Season 2 finale&mdash;choosing Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) over his older brother Conrad (Christopher Briney). Now in college, Belly is forced to face the lingering consequences of that decision when Conrad re-enters her life, stirring up old emotions.
Backed by the emotional voice of Taylor Swift, the trailer delivers a powerful mix of romance and reflection. We see Belly caught between her present with Jeremiah and memories of her past with Conrad. &ldquo;When I'm with J, everything is easier,&rdquo; she narrates. &ldquo;But everywhere I go, there's a memory of Conrad.&rdquo;
In one complex scene, Belly's mother, Laurel (Jackie Chung), warns the young couple that they&rsquo;re not ready for marriage, waving away growing tension as the two try to take their relationship to the next level. Belly&rsquo;s voiceover adds more depth: &ldquo;First loves are important. But they&rsquo;re not as important as lasts. I loved [Conrad] in a way you can only do the first time around. But that is the past. Jeremiah is my future. This is the way it is supposed to be. He is the one.&rdquo;
The Creator Speaks: &ldquo;You Can&rsquo;t Make Everyone Happy&rdquo;
Jenny Han, the author of the beloved trilogy and the series&rsquo; executive producer, has warned that the final season will be &ldquo;devastating and heartbreaking&rdquo;&mdash;the hallmark of a successful love triangle.
&ldquo;Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict,&rdquo; Han told Entertainment Weekly. &ldquo;No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it.&rdquo;
She emphasized that her goal is to provide both a satisfying experience for longtime fans of the books and an engaging story for newcomers. &ldquo;You want to serve the people who have been fans for 15 years. But you can&rsquo;t make everyone happy&hellip; I have to please myself first as a storyteller.&rdquo;
Flashback Recap: How We Got Here
In Season 1, we were introduced to Cousins Beach, where Isabel "Belly" Conklin has spent every summer with her family and the Fishers. After years of quiet pining for the serious, brooding Conrad, Belly unexpectedly found herself also drawn to the charming and affectionate Jeremiah. A love triangle was born, unfolding against the backdrop of Susannah Fisher&rsquo;s (Conrad and Jeremiah&rsquo;s mother) secret cancer diagnosis.
Season 2, It&rsquo;s Not Summer Without You, was more dramatic, exploring grief after Susannah&rsquo;s passing. Tensions rose between the trio as Belly and Jeremiah tried to support Conrad, who had distanced himself. The emotional climax came when Belly finally decided to give her relationship with Jeremiah a real chance&mdash;leaving Conrad heartbroken and fans split down the middle.
What to Expect in Season 3: We&rsquo;ll Always Have Summer
This season closely follows the events of Han&rsquo;s final book. Belly and Jeremiah are now in a serious relationship; in fact, an engagement is on the horizon. But things take a turn when Jeremiah&rsquo;s past mistake&mdash;cheating during a brief breakup&mdash;comes to light.
Returning Favorites and New Faces
Season 3 brings back fan-favorite characters like Taylor (Rain Spencer), Steven (Sean Kaufman), and, of course, Laurel (Jackie Chung), Belly&rsquo;s strong and grounded mother. The season will also introduce new regulars like Isabella Briggs and Kristen Connolly, along with recurring appearances by Sofia Bryant, Lily Donoghue, Zo&eacute; de Grand&rsquo;Maison, Emma Ishta, and Tanner Zagarino.
The final season promises new dynamics, deeper emotional growth, and fresh drama. As viewers prepare to say goodbye to the world of Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah, one thing is certain: this summer will be their most unforgettable yet.
