Season two of The Summer I Turned Pretty is pulling in big viewership numbers, which made Prime Video’s announcement that the coming-of-age drama has been renewed for season three not in the least bit shocking. The official announcement confirmed there will be a 10-episode third season but didn’t reveal any specifics about the upcoming season.
According to the streaming service, season three was actually greenlit before either the writers or actors strikes. Obviously, production will not get underway until the strikes are over.
The series is based on Jenny Han’s bestselling trilogy, and Han and Sarah Kucserka will continue as showrunners for the 10-episode third season. Han, Kucserka, Karen Rosenfelt, and wiip’s Hope Hartman, Mads Hansen, and Paul Lee executive produce.
“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” stated Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon and MGM Studios. “This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers. Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller whose fans have been clamoring for the third chapter of this story. We’re excited today to share the news that they have a lot more Summer to look forward to.”
Sanders added: “Thank you to Jenny, Sarah Kucserka, and Karen Rosenfelt and our friends at wiip for their remarkable work and partnership.”
The cast is led by Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno. Sean Kaufman, Rain Spencer, David Iacono, Elsie Fisher, Jackie Chung, Rachel Blanchard, and Kyra Sedgwick also star.
