'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Final Season Premieres July 16 on Prime Video

The third and final season of Prime Video's "The Summer I Turned Pretty" continues to prominently feature Taylor Swift's music, which the cast and creators describe as integral to the show's storytelling. Songs such as "You’re Losing Me" from Swift's "Midnights" vault and other ballads by Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo underscore key emotional moments. The cast, including Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno, emphasize how Swift's music aligns with the series' themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, with Jenny Han, the author and showrunner, personally curating the soundtrack to enhance the narrative. Season 3 picks up four years after Season 2, with Belly in college navigating a complicated love triangle, and the show balances honoring the original book trilogy with new surprises for viewers. The cast also shares that although they are good at avoiding spoilers, Gavin Casalegno is considered the most likely to unintentionally reveal plot details. Overall, the season promises a fitting and emotionally rich conclusion, with music serving as a vital narrative and emotional layer throughout the series.
