00:00We all thought we'd seen the last of Belly and Conrad when season 3 wrapped up with that beautiful return to Cousins Beach.
00:07But there's a massive surprise as Jenny Han dropped the most exciting news ever.
00:11The Summer I Turned Pretty is getting a movie.
00:14And honestly, after that finale left us wanting more, this announcement couldn't have come at a better time.
00:20So, when exactly can we expect this highly anticipated film?
00:24Well, buckle up because the date is closer than you think.
00:27Cousins has always been a safe space for Belly and Conrad, and while the show closes off with them back at the Summer House,
00:33it's not the end as we give you all the details on the confirmed release date in this video.
00:37But before we spill on that, let's get into the crazy season that just ended,
00:42where up till the last minute, many fans were still confused about who Belly would pick between the two brothers
00:47after Jenny shot a fake scene with Jeremiah in Paris.
00:51Interestingly, in the end, Jeremiah healed and found love,
00:54and Belly didn't just connect with her infinite love story with Conrad,
00:58but also found peace and was not guilty of her final decision.
01:02And that's precisely the premise of the final movie of The Summer I Turned Pretty,
01:06where Belly can now love Conrad openly, even in Jeremiah's presence, and not feel bad or scared.
01:12And with a settled love story like that,
01:14the pair are now going to start making mature decisions about their lives together,
01:18including starting a family and planning for an infinite future.
01:22The series creator, Jenny Han, who announced the feature film during the season finale celebration
01:27in Paris, knew that Conrad and Belly fans wouldn't be pleased with how quickly their story concluded
01:33and had had the long-term plan to make the film even before season three started streaming.
01:38And the head of film at Amazon MGM Studios, Courtney Valenti, has shown their support for this movie,
01:44saying,
01:44We're proud of the series' extraordinary success and couldn't be more excited to partner again with Jenny Han
01:50to bring fans an unforgettable next chapter.
01:54Belly's wedding was the most anticipated part of The Summer I Turned Pretty 3,
01:58and we never got to see that happen, either with Jeremiah or Conrad.
02:02And even after she chose Conrad, their happy ending scene only involved them returning to cousins.
02:08But the movie is set to make a very elaborate story, an ending to their story.
02:13Jenny Han also revealed that more can be expected from the film,
02:17as she teased an important plot point, saying,
02:20There is a big milestone left in Belly's journey,
02:23and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due.
02:26I'm so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story,
02:30and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans.
02:34However, that's not the most shocking part of what has been teased about the movie,
02:38as you will be even more surprised once you discover the release date.
02:42The Summer I Turned Pretty movie might feature other characters,
02:45but the focus is on Conrad and Belly,
02:47as one of the significant milestones they will be hitting is getting married.
02:51And this time, it will be at Cousins,
02:53where they've always loved without any drama or cold feet.
02:57In the books, Belly and Conrad get married at Cousins Beach when she's 23,
03:01but the show completely left out this magical moment,
03:04and that was probably the right choice for the series finale.
03:07We'd just spent an entire season watching a wedding fall apart,
03:10so ending with another wedding ceremony might have felt repetitive
03:13and lacked the same shocking effect it was intended to have.
03:17But now, with a whole movie to dedicate to this moment,
03:20we're finally going to get the beautiful, romantic wedding that Belly and Conrad deserve.
03:24But before the wedding, we'll probably get to see the proposal,
03:27with Conrad planning it quietly in that thoughtful way we love about him.
03:31Then the movie can show us the whole wedding planning process,
03:34with the families coming together,
03:36Taylor helping Belly pick out the perfect dress,
03:38and Stephen giving one of those emotional big brother speeches
03:41that'll have us all crying.
03:43And, of course, we'll get to see Jeremiah standing there as a family member,
03:47showing that he's found peace with everything
03:49and truly supports his brother's happiness.
03:51But the wedding isn't the only thing the movie will give us.
03:54There are so many beautiful moments from the books
03:56that never made it into the show.
03:58The Valentine's Day flashback is a big one in the books,
04:01where Conrad actually gave Belly a silver heart locket for Valentine's Day.
04:06And it was this lovely, thoughtful gesture
04:08that showed how much she meant to him,
04:10even when he struggled to express it directly.
04:13We might also get more Christmas memories between Belly and Conrad.
04:17The season 3 finale ended with those gorgeous Christmas photos of them in Paris,
04:21and fans are wondering if this hints at a Christmas movie
04:24that could show their relationship in this softer, more mature phase.
04:29And this also provides another hint about when we can expect the film,
04:32which we will discuss later in this video.
04:34Aside from this beautiful milestone,
04:36the movie presents the perfect opportunity
04:38to showcase genuine healing between Conrad and Jeremiah.
04:42Throughout the series,
04:43we've seen these brothers hurt each other,
04:45compete, and struggle with their relationship.
04:48But now that Belly has made her choice,
04:50and everyone's had time to process everything,
04:53the movie can show us what genuine reconciliation looks like.
04:56In the books,
04:57Jeremiah has a date by his side at Belly and Conrad's wedding,
05:01and many fans are hoping this could be Denise in the movie.
05:04We saw some romance between them in the season finale,
05:07and it would be so satisfying to see Jeremiah find his own happiness
05:11while genuinely supporting his brother.
05:13This would show that the story was never just about who Belly would choose,
05:17it was always about family, growing up,
05:20and learning that love doesn't have to be a competition.
05:23The movie could show us beautiful moments between the brothers,
05:26and this time, it could be Conrad asking Jeremiah to be his best man,
05:31or Jeremiah giving a speech about how proud he is of Conrad and Belly.
05:35These moments would provide us with that emotional closure we need,
05:39and show that the Fisher brothers' bond is stronger than any romantic rivalry.
05:43And of course, a wedding isn't the only thing in Belly's future.
05:47One thing the series didn't fully explore
05:49was Belly's professional aspirations and career goals.
05:53We saw her in Paris, studying and growing as a person,
05:57but the movie could dive deeper into what she wants to do with her life.
06:00We might see her pursuing writing, journalism,
06:03or another passion she discovered during her time abroad.
06:06This would be huge for Belly's character development,
06:09because, throughout the series, so much of her identity
06:12has been tied to her relationships with the Fisher brothers.
06:15The movie could show us a more mature, self-assured Belly
06:18who knows exactly who she is and what she wants from life.
06:22Not just romantically, but professionally and personally, too.
06:25The movie will also give us updates on everyone else in the Cousins Beach family.
06:30Steven and Taylor are in California,
06:32working on their relationship and their careers,
06:34and it would be amazing to see how they've grown as a couple.
06:37We might even get hints that they're next in line for a wedding.
06:40And let's not forget about the parents.
06:42Laurel and John were reconnecting in the finale,
06:45allowing the movie to explore their relationship further
06:47and show how the entire extended family is healing and moving forward together.
06:52The movie promises to be everything the series finale couldn't be,
06:56a full, satisfying conclusion that gives every character the ending they deserve.
07:00So, yes, we won't have to wait a couple of years,
07:03because Team Conrad deserves the happy treatment sooner rather than later.
07:07As for the right timing for this movie,
07:09Jenny Han said the release date won't be next year,
07:12but she's already finished a draft of the script,
07:14and the fandom isn't ready to wait until 2027,
07:17given their passion for seeing more of Belly and Conrad.
07:20Crazily enough, people are looking too far for the movie,
07:23and since Jenny says it can't be next year,
07:25the only other date that makes sense is 2025.
07:28Christmas is a big deal in the story of Belly and Conrad,
07:31and that could be the moment we will get to see them again on our screens.
07:35Interestingly, major media outlets have also announced the same,
07:38which means the final movie will be released on December 25th, 2025.
07:43What makes people most excited about this movie
07:45is that it will give us the perfect ending to Belly's story,
07:49not just the romantic happily ever after,
07:51but the complete picture of a young woman who's grown up,
07:54figured out who she is, and found her place in the world.
07:57We'll get to see Belly and Conrad as true adults,
08:00ready to build a life together,
08:02surrounded by the family and friends
08:04who've been part of their journey all along.
08:06And in December 2025,
08:08we might not only see a wedding or career fulfillment,
08:11but also an expanding family,
08:14which has always been the primary focus of the story.
08:17The movie might not end with Belly and Conrad's long-awaited wedding,
08:20but it could take us even further into their future,
08:23where the film concludes with the news
08:25that Belly and Conrad are expecting their first child together.
08:29Jenny Han already hinted that there's a big milestone left in Belly's journey,
08:34and we all assumed it was the wedding.
08:36But what if that's just the beginning?
08:37The Christmas photos we saw in the finale credits
08:40could be foreshadowing a Christmas miracle of their own.
08:43And honestly, it would be the most beautiful way
08:46to show how far they've come
08:47from those awkward teenagers at Cousins Beach
08:50to building their own family.
08:51This would also perfectly mirror the themes we've seen throughout the series.
08:55Just like how Laurel had Steven Young and built her family with John,
08:59and how Susanna always dreamed of Belly becoming part of the Fisher family officially,
09:03this ending would show the next generation continuing that legacy.
09:07Belly and Conrad starting their own family
09:09would prove that their love truly is infinite,
09:12just like Conrad taught her all those summers ago.
