🌸The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 (2025): Recap, Heartbreaks & What’s Next – Plot, Cast & Release Date

Few shows capture the highs and lows of young love, family bonds, and the bittersweet magic of summer quite like The Summer I Turned Pretty. Jenny Han’s Prime Video hit has kept fans swooning (and crying) since its debut in 2022, and now Season 3 — the final chapter — is delivering drama like never before.

With the last three episodes arriving weekly from September 3, 2025, the love triangle between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah is reaching its breaking point. Let’s take a look back at where the story has been and what’s at stake as we approach the grand finale.

🌊 Season 1 Recap – First Loves and Summer Magic

The story began with Isabel "Belly" Conklin (Lola Tung) heading to Cousins Beach, where every summer feels like a possibility. But this time, things were different — she wasn’t just the little sister tagging along. Belly suddenly found herself at the center of a love triangle with brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno).

Season 1 was breezy and romantic, balancing Belly’s debutante summer with first kisses, heartbreaks, and the looming shadow of Susannah Fisher’s illness. It captured the thrill of growing up and realizing that love is never simple.

💔 Season 2 Recap – Grief, Choices, and Growing Pains

Season 2 shifted into deeper waters. With Susannah’s death, the carefree beach house memories gave way to grief, fractured friendships, and the painful process of moving forward.

Belly’s bond with both Conrad and Jeremiah was tested like never before, especially as old wounds and unspoken truths came to the surface. The season asked a hard question: can love survive when weighed down by loss?

By the finale, Belly seemed to choose Jeremiah — but her heart was far from settled.

💍 Season 3 So Far – Weddings, Secrets, and Second Chances

Season 3 (which premiered on July 16, 2025) has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Here’s where things stand after Episode 8:

• Belly & Jeremiah – Their engagement shocked everyone, but family disapproval, Jeremiah’s past mistakes, and financial strain have made the wedding planning anything but smooth. Belly’s doubts grow louder with every step down the aisle.

• Conrad – Torn between letting Belly go and admitting he still loves her, Conrad has quietly supported her — even helping her reconnect with her mom. But his late-night confessions have only complicated things further.

• Steven & Taylor – Their on-again, off-again saga continues, mixing heartbreak with sweet stolen moments.

• The Fisher Family – Memories of Susannah hang over every decision. Even in absence, she remains the emotional anchor of Cousins Beach.

Episode 8 ended in classic Jenny Han fashion: Jeremiah vanished before the wedding, Conrad confessed his love, and Belly made a bold choice — calling off the wedding and boarding a plane to Paris. And yes, Conrad was at the airport.

✈️ What to Expect in the Final Episodes (9–11)

With only three episodes left, anything can happen — and everything will. Here’s what fans can expect from the closing stretch:

• The Paris Arc – Belly’s spontaneous trip could be her path to self-discovery — or a new beginning with Conrad.

• Jeremiah’s Heartbreak – After being left behind, how will Jeremiah handle losing Belly and his brother’s loyalty?

• Steven & Taylor’s Future – Will they finally admit they’re meant to be, or keep running in circles?

• Closure at Cousins Beach – Expect emotional callbacks to Season 1 as the Fisher house, Susannah’s legacy, and Belly’s coming-of-age journey all come full circle.

Jenny Han has promised fans a bittersweet but satisfying ending — so keep tissues close.

💡 Final Thoughts

The Summer I Turned Pretty has always been more than a love triangle. It’s about growing up, letting go, and realizing that summer — like youth — doesn’t last forever. Season 3 is giving fans closure, heartbreak, and a chance to see who Belly truly becomes when the last summer ends.
