Will ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Return for Season 4? Jenny Han Weighs In
Prime Video

The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s third season arrives this summer on Prime Video, and we can’t help but wonder, will the series return for a fourth?

While Prime Video has billed Season 3 as The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s last, author and showrunner Jenny Han isn’t against re-opening the book on the series. And with the show’s popularity, it would only make sense to explore different opportunities for future stories. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about the possibility of the show’s Season 4 chances.

Has The Summer I Turned Pretty been renewed for Season 4?

No. As mentioned above, The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s upcoming third season has been billed as the show’s last. But if Han were to come up with an idea to continue Belly (Lola Tung), Conrad (Christopher Briney), and Jeremiah’s (Gavin Casalegno) story, we imagine the streamer wouldn’t be closed off to the idea of more The Summer I Turned Pretty.

What has Jenny Han said about The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 4 chances?

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Han said, “Never say never” to the possibility of continuing the show. “If the story is there, then I’m there. As a storyteller, you just get hit with inspiration all the time. If I had a really great idea that I was excited by, that I wanted to keep telling the story, and if [the stars] were excited to do it, then I would be so pumped. It really depends on if I feel like there is more story to tell.”

Would the stars return for a fourth season of The Summer I Turned Pretty?

There is no show without leading lady Lola Tung as Belly Conklin, and it seems like the star agrees. Thankfully, she would be more than ready to jump back into her character’s shoes. “I love working with this group of people and I love working with Jenny,” Tung told EW. “I think it’s such a privilege to be any part of her cinematic universe, so if I was ever asked, I’m there.”

The feeling was mutual for Han, who said of working with the ensemble, “I love working with all these guys, that’s at the core of it. I would always welcome working with them on this or something else. Who knows what the future holds?”

Would The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 4 be based on a book?

Currently, Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty book series only includes three novels, which serve as the inspiration behind the existing three seasons. If the show were to continue for Season 4, it would likely be its own story, but only time will tell.

'Absolutely' - Browns Are Considering Surprising Quarterback Move

'Absolutely' - Browns Are Considering Surprising Quarterback Move

It's the Browns. When the Cleveland Browns drafted Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders this April, they had a total of five quarterbacks on their roster between their incoming rookies, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and the injured Deshaun Watson. And despite the kind of confusing nature of their stockpiling so many QBs, it sounds like the team could double-down on the the decision by the time the regular season kicks off. According to The Athletic's Zac Jackson, "the Browns absolutely might keep all four quarterbacks" heading into Cleveland's season opener. While also adding, "No, Shedeur Sanders is not going to start Week 1 for the Browns. But he's put a lot of pressure on his coaches and fellow QBs headed into this week — the biggest week of training camp as the Browns head to Philly." Fans reacted to the reporter's update on X: "At this point it's not even a QB room anymore. It's a pitching rotation now," a user said. "One as a starter, One as a backup, One to hold on field goals, And one listed as a wide receiver for tax purposes," another commented. "[Shedeur Sanders] should be developed and shouldn't be thrown out there week 1 but he should be considered to be put over Gabriel and Pickett," a fan pointed out. "While also finally getting meaningful reps with the 1's." "I'm a Shedeur fan who wants Flacco to start with Shedeur at QB2," another person replied. "Sitting behind a veteran QB can be very valuable, and you know he'd be ready if he had to come off the bench. Just my .02." "This isn't unprecedented," another user posted. "The Patriots kept 4 QBs in the 2000 season. Worked out ok for them. Not saying there's a Brady in their QB room. But if they have 4 guys who they think are NFL worthy (even if none are QB1 right now), they can make it work." The Browns have been bitten by the injury bug thus far in camp with Pickett and Gabriel both dealing with ailments this preseason — opening up a window for Shedeur Sanders to earn his way up the depth chart. Sanders played well in Friday night's debut with a 14-of-23 performance for 138 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the way to a 30-10 win over Carolina. But head coach Kevin Stefanski says the team in "evaluation mode" when it comes to their QBs.

Leafs’ Proposed Blockbuster Trade Could Jeopardize Future

Leafs’ Proposed Blockbuster Trade Could Jeopardize Future

A recent trade pitch suggesting the Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell from the Pittsburgh Penguins is undeniably a bold and wild idea. With that in mind, it’s not the kind of trade that makes a ton of sense for Toronto, even if both players are legitimate goal scorers — especially considering what Toronto would have to give up to acquire both players. The likelihood that the Maple Leafs are seeking a trade for both wingers is low to begin with. That they’d be willing to part with a new trade acquisition, one of their more steady defensemen, a high-ceiling winger, and the team’s top prospect is an even more fascinating suggestion. Toronto Isn’t About To Abandon Their Game Plan The suggested trade was as follows: Maple Leafs Acquire: Bryan Rust ($5,125,000) Rickard Rakell ($5,000,000) Penguins Acquire: Nick Robertson ($1,825,000) Jake McCabe ($4,491,898) Matias Maccelli ($3,425,000) Easton Cowan ($873,500) While Rust and Rakell bring impressive goal-scoring credentials — combining for 66 goals last season — the Leafs have just added Matias Maccelli, a promising winger signed to what they hope is a value contract this offseason. On top of that, they’ve invested heavily in Jake McCabe on defense and have Easton Cowan, arguably their best prospect, waiting in the wings. Nick Robertson may be on the move, so his inclusion makes sense, but there’s been no suggestion, whatsoever, that the Leafs are open to moving any of the other three. No doubt, you have to give to get. That said, trading away these useful, cost-controlled assets for veterans like Rust and Rakell seems like a shortsighted mistake. Maccelli’s acquisition signals the Leafs are looking to build with youth, speed, and skill, while McCabe provides a steady defensive presence — something the Maple Leafs desperately need to maintain. Easton Cowan, meanwhile, presents arguably the best future replacement for the offensive output lost with Mitch Marner’s departure. Is There A World In Which Toronto Would Consider This Blockbuster Trade? Never say never. There is no doubt this would be a big swing by Toronto. And, it would add goal scoring in a significant way. That said, given the current roster construction, why would Toronto create obvious holes on their blue line, in the system, and move a player they believe could be a key offensive contributor in Maccelli? This would be GM Brad Treliving mortgaging everything on two Penguins players, who reportedly don’t want to go anywhere — one of whom has an eight-team no-trade clause. This trade screams 2025-25 Cup run, and an attempt to outscore other problems in the present day. Ultimately, this proposed trade serves as an interesting talking point, but it doesn’t quite pass the smell test for a Leafs team focused on a blend of youth and experience heading into the new season.

Atlanta Dream Coach Has Strong Words for Brittney Griner on Sunday

The Atlanta Dream returned one of their most prized possessions, Brittney Griner, for a matchup against the Phoenix Mercury. Griner had missed three straight games ahead of the team's matchup against Phoenix. She was working through a neck injury that kept her sidelined, joining Rhyne Howard as another Dream star to be dealt an unfortunate injury. After missing three straight games, Griner returned to the lineup to play her former team, helping Atlanta earn a 74-66 victory over the Mercury. Atlanta Dream head coach Karl Smesko discussed the return of Griner after the game, mentioning that she had a great performance against one of the best teams in the WNBA. "I thought BG was great," Smesko said. "She was moving great. She looked really good out there. Defensively, she was excellent. She was controlling the point. I thought really good first game back for her." Griner finished the win over the Phoenix Mercury with two points, two rebounds and one assist. She capped off the night playing 13 minutes in her first game back with the Atlanta Dream. Griner is currently playing in her first season with the Dream, looking to help lead Atlanta to a WNBA title alongside stars Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray. While the Dream have dealt with several injuries and setbacks during the season, they have climbed up the league standings, holding the No. 3 slot in the entire WNBA. Throughout her first season with the Dream, Brittney Griner has posted 10.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.

Pete Carroll offers explanation to Ashton Jeanty’s rough debut

Pete Carroll offers explanation to Ashton Jeanty’s rough debut

One of the big storylines coming out of the Las Vegas Raider first preseason game was the struggles of running back Ashton Jeanty. The sixth overall pick did not get much time to prove himself on Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks, but he could not take advantage of the opportunities he was given. Jeanty ended the game recording -1 rushing yards on three carries. He was swallowed up on most runs by the Seahawks defensive front, and fans have already questioned whether the Raiders have made another draft decision that will haunt them. Despite the rough beginning to his NFL career, Jeanty still has Raiders head coach Pete Carroll in his corner. Carroll defends his running back as he faces increased scrutiny. During a press conference on Friday, Carroll said that the offensive gameplan the Raiders rolled out against the Seahawks was mostly to blame for Jeanty not doing anything of note. “We were basic,” Carroll said via Vegas Sports Today.“We didn’t get the movement we wanted. Ashton [Jeanty] didn’t get a chance.” Jeanty’s struggles is worthy of some early concern, but it is important to not overreact to one game. Much of his struggles could be pointed out to the offensive line, which could not open up running lanes for Jeanty. It forced Jeanty to try and make something out of nothing on his carries, which he did not have the time and space to do. It is a difficult position for a rookie playing his first game to be in, but such is life for Jeanty, especially under the microscope that his high draft status places him. The Raiders play the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 16, so Jeanty will get another chance to get himself back in the good graces of the fanbase.
