The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 will have 11 episodes in total.

Quick Scoop

🏖️ How many episodes will there be?

  • Season 3 is a supersized final season with 11 episodes, making it the longest season of the series.
  • Seasons 1 and 2 had fewer episodes (7 and 8, respectively), so season 3 adds extra room for the story and character arcs to breathe.
  • Creators and reports describe this as the show’s concluding chapter, adapting the final book We’ll Always Have Summer in one extended season rather than splitting it into two.

Why so many episodes this time?

  • Jenny Han has said there was “a lot of story” and they needed more “canvas” to cover the full emotional and time span of the last book, which led them to land on 11 episodes.
  • This larger episode count is meant to wrap up loose ends, give more depth to side characters, and let Belly’s final choice and the Fisher brothers’ arcs play out at a more deliberate pace.
