Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty series have been eagerly awaiting the release of the movie adaptation, but creator Jenny Han has confirmed it won't arrive this Christmas. Speaking at the 2025 Power Women Summit, Han revealed that while the script is finished, filming has yet to begin. The tight schedule for Season 3's post-production, which ended just a month before its July release on Amazon Prime Video, left no time to film a full-length movie. Han emphasized that the priority is to ensure the movie lives up to the high expectations of the series' fans. While details about the storyline are scarce, Han hinted at a significant life event awaiting Belly, played by Lola Tung. The movie will continue the emotional journey of Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah, picking up after the events of Season 3. Interestingly, even the cast members have not been privy to the script, with Lola Tung and Christopher Briney expressing their anticipation for the next chapter in the series. For now, fans will have to wait a bit longer for the movie to arrive, but Jenny Han is taking the time needed to craft a worthy continuation of the Cousins Beach story.
