Movies Romance Movies Why The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Story Ends In A Movie And Not Season 4 By Nina Starner Dec. 28, 2025 1:00 pm EST Stephanie Branchu/Prime Video the fandom of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” — the Amazon Prime series helmed , who also wrote the novels — are waiting with bated breath to catch up with Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung), Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney), and the rest of the beach house gang in the forthcoming movie. (let that sink in)

So why is the three-season series getting a movie in the first place instead of a fourth season ?

The Details

In November 2025, Lexy Perez spoke to Han for The Hollywood Reporter about the movie and asked why Han, who’s also writing and directing the film, wants to expand Belly and Conrad’s happy ending . “I just see the movie as an opportunity to fr just have fun and spend more time with these characters.

It’s a complete kind of story,” Han told Perez of the forthcoming film. “It’s not one that I would spend 10 episodes on, so I think [it’s to] give it more as a gift to the the fandom.

Why This Matters

But a gift to myself as well because it’s been a joyful experience writing it. ” Han stressed, while speaking to Perez, that it feels fr early to talk about the movie, but Perez did ask a few more pertinent questions. Though Han demurred when Perez asked if fan reactions to the finale might influence, Han dropped, “I’ve already written the movie, so I guess we’ll just see!

Entertainment industry insiders have been buzzing about this.

The Bottom Line

” Han gave similar responses when asked if any of the classic movies referenced in “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” like “Sabrina” and “It’s a iconic Life,” influenced the film at all, or whether Taylor Swift’s music would be as heavily featured in the movie as it was in the show. In a separate interview, though, Han spilled something important about the movie’s release date — we’ll all be waiting a while for it.
