Grab the ChapStick, tissues, and sunscreen, because we’re diving back into the romance series that already made you cry your mascara off.
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 is happening, a follow-up to the Prime Video show based on Jenny Han’s best-selling young adult book series. In fact, it was renewed for a second season before the first even aired. Han will continue to be co-showrunner on the series; her partner on season one, Gabrielle Stanton, will be replaced by Sarah Kucserka for the second season.
And…it may be more than summer. “I’m looking forward to seeing other seasons. Literal seasons. All you see is summertime now. There’s a lot more road to hoe and we’ll get to see (Belly’s) world get a bit bigger,” Han said of the future.
Here’s everything else we know about The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, including your first look from the set as the cast gets back to work and a premiere date for the summer of 2023.
