What is The Summer I Turned Pretty movie about? Fans think they’ve figured it out
The Summer I Turned Pretty viewers will be reuniting with their favourite characters in a new feature film, and they're convinced they have already figured out its plot.
*Warning - This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty finale.*
The Summer I Turned Pretty viewers are convinced they have figured out the forthcoming film's plot just hours after it was announced.
Fans were left gutted when the hit series came to an end on Wednesday (September 17th). But it wasn't long before news broke that Prime Video is set to release a feature-length film, which wraps up the beloved characters' stories.
Based on Jenny Han's best-selling novels, the YA drama follows Belly Conklin (played by Lola Tung) as she navigates a brutal love triangle between brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).
Belly's romance troubles were settled in the series finale when she chose to pursue a relationship with Conrad.
While fans were thrilled by the protagonist's choice, many complained that she didn't make her decision until the final minutes of the show, meaning viewers didn't spend much time with the happy couple.
The author herself has admitted that Belly's story needs a 'proper' send-off. She said: "There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due."
Based on Han's subtle hint, fans are convinced the upcoming film will centre on Belly and Conrad's relationship and subsequent wedding.
Taking to Reddit following the announcement, one viewer quizzed: "I'm actually curious what the f the plot of the movie is supposed to be????"
Someone chimed in with their prediction, replying: "Probably their wedding since we never got that in the show and Jenny says there is one more milestone for Belly's story that only a movie could do justice."
Another Redditor echoed the theory, writing: "Y'all it says one last big milestone for Belly, I'm pretty sure she means marriage!"
A third viewer replied: "100% Belly never read her Susannah letter for her wedding." Others have also noted Susannah's (Rachel Blanchard) letter as a major clue."
In season three, Jeremiah and Conrad receive letters from their late mother, which were supposed to be opened on their wedding days.
Belly's mother, Laurel (Jackie Chung), accidentally gave Jeremiah the letter that was addressed to Conrad before his wedding day. However, she notably kept Belly's letter safe after Jeremiah called off the wedding.
Prime Video viewers have no doubts that they will witness Belly reading the heartfelt letter and Conrad saying his vows - but they'll have to wait to find out.
The Summer I Turned Pretty is streaming now on Prime Video. An official release date for the new film is yet to be announced.
