other · 2026-05-06

Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty have been asked to stop visiting filming locations due to safety concerns. The Prime Video series, concluding with a feature film, has seen unauthorized footage shared online. Jenny Han, author of the trilogy, is writing and directing the film. Production has had to halt to clear crowds, disrupting focus. The show, which premiered in 2022, became Prime Video's most popular in the UK and hit number one in 120 countries. It sparked intense fan loyalty and online debates between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah. Last year, fans were also asked to behave online after cast members faced abuse. The film is set to feature the main cast returning for the final chapter of Belly's journey. Filming takes place on the North Carolina coast.
