There is no official, confirmed release date for a The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) movie yet. Current info from creator Jenny Han indicates that it is not coming out in 2026, and the earliest realistic window people are expecting is sometime in 2027 or later, but that’s still speculative and not locked in.

When is the TSITP movie coming out?

Jenny Han has said in interviews that while a TSITP movie is in development, it’s still too early to give a firm premiere date. When asked if it would arrive in 2026 or 2027, she answered that they “don’t know when it’s coming out, but not next year,” which rules out a 2026 release.

Some entertainment coverage pieces and fan discussions suggest that, assuming script and production move along smoothly, the earliest plausible timeframe would be late 2026 or 2027, but these are educated guesses, not official studio announcements. There are also random posts and rumors online claiming specific dates (like Christmas 2025), but those have not been backed up by any credible studio or creator confirmation.

In short: there’s hype, drafts of the script, and lots of fan theories, but no concrete release date on the books yet.

What we do know so far

  • A TSITP movie has been officially announced as a final chapter to Belly’s story after season 3.
  • Jenny Han has said a script draft exists, but filming had not yet begun at the time of those interviews.
  • She explicitly confirmed the movie will not release “next year” (i.e., not in 2026), leaving fans to look beyond that.

Some fan polls and Reddit threads show people jokingly hoping for a much earlier date (like Christmas 2025), but commenters generally agree that those hopes are “delulu” and not realistic given the production timeline.

What fans on forums are saying

On TSITP fan subreddits, the mood is a mix of impatience and acceptance:

  • Many fans believe there will be a “significant wait” and are bracing themselves for several years.
  • Some speculate a theatrical or streaming release around 2027, after proper filming and post-production.
  • Others keep an eye on casting news, IMDb/Variety updates, and potential shooting schedules as hints that the project has moved forward.

There have even been “insider” style rumors—like a server claiming an Amazon marketing exec mentioned a TSITP movie in development—but even those threads end with people reminding each other that leaks like that are unverified and not official.

How to stay updated on the TSITP movie

If you want to catch the real release date the moment it drops, your best bet is to watch:

  1. Prime Video’s official TSITP social accounts (Instagram, X, etc.) for formal announcements.
  1. Jenny Han’s interviews and social posts , since she has been the clearest, most trustworthy source about timelines so far.
  1. Entertainment news outlets (Variety, Deadline, major entertainment sites) that will report once the movie is greenlit for production and scheduled.

You’ll know it’s real when it’s coming from official TSITP/Prime Video channels or major trades, not just fan edits or random “leaks.”

TL;DR:
Right now, there is no official release date for the TSITP movie. Jenny Han has confirmed it will not come out in 2026, and any specific dates you see floating around (like “Christmas 2025”) are fan guesses or rumors, not confirmed plans.
