Prime Video Renews THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY

Prime Video has renewed THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY for a 10-episode third season.

According to the streamer, the sophomore season of TSITP is “one of the 10 most watched seasons of any series ever on the service” and “more than doubled” season 1 viewership within three days of launch.

“We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,” says Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon and MGM Studios, in a statement. “This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers. Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller, whose fans have been clamoring for the third chapter of this story. We’re excited today to share the news that they have a lot more Summer to look forward to. Thank you to Jenny, Sarah Kucserka, and Karen Rosenfelt and our friends at wiip for their remarkable work and partnership.”

The series “is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship. It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer.”

According to the streamer, the renewal was ordered ahead of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The series is based on Jenny Han’s trilogy; Han serves as co-showrunner alongside Sarah Kucserka.
