Ahead of its Season 1 debut, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” has already been renewed by Amazon’s Prime Video.

The YA adaptation is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between a teenage girl named Belly (played by Lola Tung) and two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah (played by Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno, respectively).

“It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer,” per the streamer.

The series comes from creator and author Jenny Han, who also penned the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” trilogy on Netflix. Han co-showruns the Prime Video series with Gabrielle Stanton, as well as executive produces. Han also wrote the pilot.

“When I decided to adapt ‘Summer’ for television, I knew we’d need more than one season to honor the story we are telling,” Han said in a statement. “To receive a second season pickup ahead of the premiere of Season One is beyond my wildest dreams. I am so grateful to Amazon Studios for this amazing vote of confidence in our show, and cannot wait to bring our incredible team back together to tell the next chapter in our story.”
