The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Premieres with Major Relationship Revelations

The third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premiered with its first two episodes, continuing the story as Belly navigates college life and a complicated love triangle with Jeremiah and Conrad. Belly and Jeremiah, who have been together for four years, face challenges when Belly is accepted into a study abroad program in Paris, and Jeremiah struggles with school setbacks. The season has reignited debates among fans about Jeremiah's actions, paralleling the classic Ross and Rachel 'on a break' controversy from Friends, with showrunner Jenny Han calling Jeremiah's behavior "debatable" in terms of cheating. Prime Video is releasing the season weekly rather than all at once, a strategy that has divided fans between frustration with the wait and appreciation for the slower, more tension-building storytelling. Meanwhile, lead actress Lola Tung, who plays Belly, has been controversially cut from a separate project, the 90s slasher revival I Know What You Did Last Summer, despite having filmed scenes, due to editing decisions unrelated to her performance. This season promises a deeper exploration of emotional stakes and character development as it moves toward its conclusion.
