Summer I Turned Pretty Movie: Release, Cast, and Filming Details

The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is currently in production, aiming to offer a definitive conclusion to Belly's narrative arc. Creator Jenny Han is directing the film, which she also penned, ensuring her vision for the story's final chapter is realized. Principal photography commenced in late April 2026. Initial filming took place in Wilmington and Southport, North Carolina, locations familiar from the series' previous seasons. Production then shifted to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in mid-June 2026, where stars Lola Tung and Chris Briney were spotted.

The development of the film has been met with intense fan excitement, though this has led to significant crowd control issues at filming locations. Both Prime Video and Jenny Han have issued statements urging fans to respect the privacy and safety of the cast and crew. Despite these pleas, large gatherings have continued, with some fans noting the visible discomfort of the actors. The core cast, including Lola Tung as Belly and Chris Briney as Conrad, are confirmed to reprise their roles, alongside Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman, and Rain Spencer.
