The Summer I Turned Pretty returns to streaming screens for its third and final season today.
However, ahead of the new episodes dropping, the team over at Amazon Prime Video issued a stark warning to fans of the coming-of-age drama in a social media post.
The summer romance with a glossy Gen Z love triangle to keep fans hooked first aired in 2022 and went on to become one of the streamer’s most-viewed TV shows.
The official X account for the show has now shared a ‘public service announcement’ with its community of fans, cautioning viewers against bullying and hate speech towards those involved in the third season.
‘Cousins is our safe place,’ the post read. ‘Everything good, everything magical. Let’s keep the conversation kind this summer.’
The post then added: ‘We have a ZERO tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech. If you engage in any of the following you will be banned.’
The examples then listed as ‘community guidelines’ were: no ‘hate speech or bullying’, ‘targeting our cast or crew’ and ‘harassing or doxxing members of the community’.
Based on the best-selling book trilogy from Jenny Han, the third season is set four years on from the events of the second.
Belly (Lola Tung) has to-ed and fro-ed between the equally handsome Fisher brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) for several episodes now, and is presumably set to make a concrete decision at the end of this 11 episode run.
She’s finished her junior year of college at Finch University and is now set to marry Jeremiah (Conrad fans look away now, there’s lots of loved up ‘Jelly’ scenes coming).
But just in the nick of time it looks like Conrad might actually have grown up to be worthy of Belly’s affections.
He’s a doctor with a new sense of purpose and perspective – but is it enough to make Belly once again detonate her perfectly happy love life? We’ll have to tune in to find out.
It might not come as a total surprise that the production issued the warning to fans, given that viewers have had fierce ‘ships’ of who should end up with who from the off. It’s Team Conrad vs Team Jeremiah.
The first season holds an 86% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with YouTuber Perri Nemiroff dubbing it ‘an irresistible summer escape’.
Additionally, fans have shared their own thoughts on the show so far, with Ranyoun Rania writing in her Google review: ‘I adore this series so much.
‘I only saw it on Prime Video today and watched all 7 episodes in that entire night and went to bed at 6 am but it was totally worth it.’
Arnold Bisoborwa added: ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty is a heartwarming and nostalgic coming-of-age series that perfectly captures the magic of first love, family bonds, and the bittersweetness of growing up.’
Sarah Smith also said they were kept up late watching the show, writing: ‘This is the best show I have watched in a long time. I literally stayed up all night to finish.’
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 debuts on Amazon Prime Video today (July 16).
