The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3
The highly anticipated third and final season of Prime Video`s "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is set to premiere on July 16, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Ahead of the 11-episode season, stars Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno reflected on how Taylor Swift`s music has become an inseparable part of the show`s identity.
Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno echoed Tung`s sentiments. Briney stated, “Very thoroughly planned and thought out. It’s part of the vision.” Casalegno praised Han`s knack for curating the perfect soundtrack, adding, “I think Jenny does a great job at finding the perfect music for the world. Like with all of Taylor’s music, I think she really does a deep dive into what’s going to fit the world and the feel of all these things. We don’t even know all the songs that are going to be in the next season.”
Season 3 picks up with Belly having just completed her junior year of college, returning to Cousins Beach for another summer with Jeremiah. However, as the series has shown, nothing in Belly`s life stays simple for long. Her past with Conrad still lingers, forcing her to confront everything she`s tried to move on from. Adapted from "We’ll Always Have Summer," the final book in Jenny Han’s best-selling trilogy, this season brings Belly’s emotional journey to a close, promising fans a definitive ending.
The final season features 11 episodes in total, and fans can anticipate a mix of drama, character growth, and unexpected plot twists as Belly navigates the complexities of her relationships.
Taylor Swift: The Show`s Unofficial Character
Based on Jenny Han’s bestselling novels, The Summer I Turned Pretty has seamlessly woven Taylor Swift’s iconic songs into its narrative, making her music almost a character in itself. These tracks amplify the series` central themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Lola Tung, who reprises her role as Belly Conklin for the last time, shares her thoughts on this powerful musical connection: "She’s an incredible storyteller, just like Jenny. So it felt very fitting. I think for Jenny, she has a personal connection. When she was writing a lot of the books, she was listening to some of this music, like The Way I Loved You. So, for her, she’s had these in mind for so long."Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno echoed Tung`s sentiments. Briney stated, “Very thoroughly planned and thought out.
