The wait is almost over for fans craving one last magical summer at Cousins Beach. Following the emotional finale of Season 3 on Prime Video, The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie has officially been announced as the grand conclusion to Belly Conklin’s unforgettable coming-of-age love story. Directed by series creator Jenny Han, the film promises to deliver the “big milestone” she hinted at — one that only a feature-length chapter could fully honor.

While no official teaser trailer has dropped yet (production is just ramping up), early set whispers, cast excitement, and Jenny Han’s teases have fans flooding social media with theories and rewatch marathons. Here’s everything we know so far about the highly anticipated movie.

From Trilogy to Series to the Big Screen

Jenny Han’s beloved books — The Summer I Turned Pretty, It’s Not Summer Without You, and We’ll Always Have Summer — first captured hearts with their perfect blend of first love, family drama, beach nostalgia, and the eternal Conrad vs. Jeremiah triangle. The Prime Video series expanded that world beautifully across three seasons, turning Belly (Lola Tung), Conrad (Christopher Briney), Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), and the Fisher/Cousins Beach crew into global sensations.

After Season 3 wrapped with heartfelt closure (and plenty of emotional Taylor Swift needle drops), Han revealed there was still “another big milestone left in Belly’s journey.” She felt only a movie could give it the proper space and emotion it deserved. The film will serve as the true finale, allowing more breathing room for character growth, adult reflections, and that signature summer magic fans crave.

Filming is scheduled to begin on April 27, 2026, in Wilmington, North Carolina (standing in for the iconic Cousins Beach). The main cast — including Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno — is expected to return, with more announcements coming soon.

What Could the Movie Explore?

Jenny Han has kept plot details tightly under wraps, but she’s described the film as a chance to give Belly’s story the epic send-off it deserves. Fans are theorizing it could focus on:

A time jump showing Belly as a young woman navigating life after the events of Season 3.
The long-awaited wedding (or a major life milestone) that brings everyone back to Cousins Beach.
Deeper resolutions to the love triangle, family healing, and the emotional weight of growing up.
More screen time for beloved side characters like Laurel, Susannah’s legacy, Steven, Taylor, and the Fisher brothers’ complicated bond.

The movie format gives Han and the team freedom to deliver sweeping romance, heartfelt goodbyes, and the nostalgic summer feeling that made the series so addictive — without the constraints of weekly episodes.

Expect plenty of Taylor Swift music (a staple of the show), golden-hour beach scenes, and the kind of emotional punches that leave audiences reaching for tissues and rewatching instantly.

Release Date and Teaser Expectations

No official release date has been confirmed yet, but with filming starting late April 2026 and wrapping relatively quickly (typical for a movie vs. a full season), a 2027 release feels likely — possibly summer 2027 to match the “perfect summer” theme, or even a holiday window for maximum feel-good vibes.

An official teaser trailer hasn’t dropped, but once filming begins, we can expect first-look images, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and eventually a full teaser that will break the internet. In the meantime, fans are creating their own hype with edit videos, theories about the “final chapter,” and rewatches of the series.

Why This Feels Like the Perfect Ending

The Summer I Turned Pretty has always been about more than the love triangle. It’s about growing up, the magic of chosen family, dealing with loss, and learning that first loves (and heartbreaks) shape who we become. Bringing the story to a feature film gives it the cinematic scope it deserves — bigger emotions, stunning visuals of the beach, and the chance for Belly to reach that next milestone Han has been hinting at.

Whether you’re Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah, or simply Team Belly, the movie promises to deliver the closure (and perhaps a few new surprises) fans have been dreaming about.
