Prime Video has ordered season three of teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty. Based on the book franchise by Jenny Han, the cast features Lola Tung as teen Belly, along with Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman and Rain Spencer.
“For everyone living for the hope of a season three,” reads a social media post from Prime Video. The video that rolls then adds, “See you in Cousins Beach for season 3.”
Season three will have 10 episodes.
Season two was released July 14 with three episodes. The season finale is August 18. Kyra Sedgwick has a recurring role in season two, which is largely based on the second book in Han’s series, It’s Not Summer Without You.
Prime Video said season two is one of the 10 most-watched seasons of any series on the streamer.
The current season sees brothers Conrad and Jeremiah fighting for Belly, and Susannah battling cancer. “When an unexpected visitor threatens the future of Susannah's beloved house, Belly has to rally the gang to come together — and to decide once and for all where her heart lies,” according to Prime.
“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon and MGM Studios. “This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers.
