Fans eagerly await the arrival of the final season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” set to premiere on Prime Video on July 16. The show, based on the critically acclaimed writer’s hit book series, has taken Netflix by storm. Insatiable’s irreverent coming-of-age story and romantic twists ensure that audiences remain captivated. From the start, Han has acted as both showrunner and executive producer of the series, protecting the heart and soul of her beloved book trilogy along the way.
The full teaser trailer we just released gives a better feel for the flavorful ride that awaits viewers. And now, on to an unexpected leap in time! Now, Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) is blissfully in love with Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). Our favorite part from the trailer is a scene where Casalegno gets playful and sticks a candy cane in his mouth. This provides an encouraging backdrop as the 2023 season approaches.
Throughout the teaser, Taylor Swift’s passionate new ballad “Red” from her own forthcoming album heightens the emotional tone of the story. Fans will hear “Daylight” from Swift’s album “Lover,” accompanying a montage that highlights the deepening relationship between Belly and Jeremiah. This musical backdrop perfectly sets the romantic tone as they explore and find their way back to each other in their love story.
Belly is at a turning point. Her journey is complicated by her unresolved feelings for her first love, Conrad Fisher, played by Christopher Briney. The pressure is real. The tension that comes in here is between her feelings for both brothers. The official synopsis hints at this internal conflict: “It’s the end of her junior year of college, and Belly’s looking forward to another summer in Cousins with her soulmate, Jeremiah.”
The teaser definitely lands an emotional punch with Taylor’s lyric “Loving him was red.” This expression perfectly sums up the nuanced emotions that color Belly’s coming-of-age story.
