Summer I Turned Pretty Movie Delayed: No Christmas 2025 Release

The anticipated movie adaptation of The Summer I Turned Pretty will not hit theaters for Christmas 2025, according to creator Jenny Han. She revealed in a recent interview that while the script is complete, principal photography has yet to commence, pushing back the film's debut. The intense post-production schedule for Season 3, which concluded shortly before its July premiere, left insufficient time for the movie's filming.

Han emphasized that the decision to delay is rooted in a commitment to quality and careful storytelling. The production team is prioritizing a thorough process over a timely release, ensuring the next chapter of Belly's journey on Cousins Beach meets fan expectations. This deliberate pace means viewers will need to wait longer for the cinematic adaptation.

Details about the movie's plot remain scarce, with even lead actress Lola Tung admitting she hasn't seen the script. Han has, however, hinted at significant new developments for the main character, Belly, promising to continue her journey with compelling new story elements. The focus remains on delivering a worthy big-screen farewell.
