The Summer I Turned Pretty film was first announced at the Paris red carpet celebration of the show's finale. The film will conclude the story of Isabel, aka Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah. While we did see Belly and Conrad end up together at the end of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, there's apparently more to the story.

The books ended with Belly and Conrad getting married on Cousins Beach, while the show ended with the couple reuniting in Paris and then later taking a trip to the house on Cousins Beach. But the film will continue the story with an original story. No date of release has been confirmed yet, but an article by Deadline has revealed that the film will begin production in April, which means that the film will release sooner than we think.

So far, no major updates about The Summer I Turned Pretty film have been revealed by Prime Video. The film's plot is still under wraps, and all we know is which of the cast members from the show are returning for the film.

Details about the additional cast members joining the film will be revealed later on in due time.

The film is written by Han Kucserka and Sarah Kucserka. Jenny Han is directing the film.
