Before the first season of Jenny Han\u2019<\/a>s bestselling book trilogy The Summer I Turned Pretty <\/em>could premiere in 2022, Amazon Studios had already picked up the series for a second season. If you were a fan of Season 1, you no longer have to wait with bated breath, as Prime Video announced Season 2 will premiere on July 14. <\/p>\n Although Han\u2019s To All the Boys I\u2019ve Loved Before<\/em> was adapted first, The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em> came first in terms of novels. The books, which came out in 2009, 2010, and 2011, follow the inner thoughts of Belly during what should have been a regular summer at Cousins Beach with her mom, her brother, her mom\u2019s best friend, Susannah, and Susannah\u2019s two kids, Jeremiah and Conrad. However, Belly grew up a lot since their last summer together, and desire starts to play a complicated role in the relationships between Belly and her friends. <\/p>\n The book series is beloved for satisfying that YA romance itch and depicting the beautiful female friendship between the two moms, Laurel and Susannah. The books also distinctly capture the complex emotions of young relationships when older kids lord their power over younger ones and puberty changes everything. Fans of the books hope the adaptation does justice to these characters\u2019 plot lines, especially since Han is an executive producer of the series. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about The Summer I Turned Pretty <\/em>Season 2,<\/em> including a trailer, cast updates, a release date timeline, and first look images. <\/p>\n Although there are no details yet on exactly what the second season will cover, it will be focused on the content of the second book in Han\u2019s series: It\u2019s Not Summer Without You<\/em>. This more mature and intense novel follows Belly and Jeremiah trying to find Conrad at Cousins Beach after he goes MIA, all the while adjusting to a new normal following Susannah\u2019s illness. <\/p>\n Han is also excited about continuing her characters\u2019 stories on screen. In a press release shared with Elite Daily about the second season, Han said, \u201cWhen I decided to adapt Summer<\/em> for television, I knew we\u2019d need more than one season to honor the story we are telling.\u201d <\/p>\n The first photo from Season 2 filming<\/a> confirmed Lola Tung would return as Belly. True to Han\u2019s second book, this upcoming season will have practically all the same characters as the first installment. That includes Christopher Briney as Conrad, Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah, Sean Kaufman as Steven, and Rain Spencer as Taylor. <\/p>\n There will also be some recurring and new faces in the mix. Jackie Chung, who plays Belly\u2019s mom Laurel, and Rachel Blanchard, who plays Conrad and Jeremiah\u2019s mom Susannah, will return to the Prime screen. Also, David Iacono will coast back with the Cousin Crew as Cameron. As for newcomers, Elsie Fisher<\/a> will play a new character named Skye. The Closer\u2019s<\/em> Kyra Sedgwick will also hop on board; however, details about her character have not been revealed. <\/p>\n It looks like this summer is for… the Swifties? Oh, and drama, of course. On June 8, Prime Video released a trailer<\/a> for the show\u2019s upcoming season. The teaser opens with Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cAugust,\u201d which appeared on her Folklore<\/em> album. Swifties know her woodsy efforts (including Evermore<\/em>) are filled with bittersweet one-liners about romance<\/a>, so it\u2019s only right the trailer keeps up with that aura, too. <\/p>\n As the track\u2019s chords swell, fans are given a glimpse of Belly and Conrad\u2019s relationship. They share a brief kiss, which only solidifies their love confessions<\/a> at the end of the first season, before more melodramatics ensue. Think high school graduations, thrilling moments at a carnival, tears, and fist fights. <\/p>\nThe Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em> Season 2 Plot<\/h2>\n
