The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 finale on Prime Video may have marked the end of the trilogy, but the show’s creator, Jenny Han, had one last surprise in store. Hidden within the end credits, fans spotted a touching slideshow and a heartfelt handwritten note that hinted at something bigger on the horizon, a full-length movie to continue and conclude Belly’s journey.
Unseen Belly-Conrad Moments The credits rolled over a montage of Belly and Conrad celebrating Christmas in Paris, a sequence not previously included in the show. The images showed the couple exchanging gifts, smiling warmly, and sharing tender holiday moments. Belly was seen in a red printed pajama set reminiscent of her earlier Christmas with Conrad at Cousins Beach, adding a nostalgic
callback for longtime fans.
The slideshow quickly ignited speculation online, with many noting it felt like a deliberate setup for what could come next. Social media users pointed out that such unseen footage often signals a creative bridge between projects, especially given how Han has carefully expanded the universe from page to screen.
Jenny Han’s Note And Movie Confirmation
Following the montage, a handwritten letter from Jenny Han appeared on-screen. In it, she thanked readers and viewers for their unwavering support over the years, writing:
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love you’ve shown The Summer I Turned Pretty all these years. Whether you’ve been with Belly since the very first book or joined us with the show I’m so grateful you’ve made Belly’s story part of your summers. We put our whole hearts into this show and we’re so thankful to you for coming along with us on the ride. Maybe we’ll meet you again one summer in Cousins. Until then—All of my love always, Jenny.”
The note has since gone viral, but fans no longer have to speculate. Shortly after the finale, Jenny Han officially announced that The Summer I Turned Pretty will return as a feature film, marking the final chapter of Belly’s story. Han confirmed she would write the screenplay, promising fans the closure they’ve been waiting for.
With Season 3 drawing 25 million global viewers within its first week, excitement for the movie is already at a fever pitch. For now, fans can relive Belly’s journey through the books and series until the film’s release on Prime Video.
