Aside from the fact it's definitely making a comeback (!), Deadline reported last August that Jenny Han, aka the genius behind the series' bestselling novels, is set to return yet again as the showrunner alongside writer and producer Sarah Kucserka.

And fans weren't the only ones excited about the renewal at the time. Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios, dished to the outlet, “We’ve been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon.”

“This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers. Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller, whose fans have been clamoring for the third chapter of this story. We’re excited today to share the news that they have a lot more Summer to look forward to. Thank you to Jenny, Sarah Kucserka, and Karen Rosenfelt and our friends at wiip for their remarkable work and partnership,” she added.

Something tells us that Jenny will have something up her sleeve considering how many iconic additions there were in season 2. Case in point? The introduction of two new characters: Conrad and Jeremiah's cousin Skye (Elsie Fisher) and their mother, Aunt Julia (Kyra Sedgwick).

Plus, the author proved to be one of the most dedicated Swifties out there by surprising fans of the series with “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” and a new take on Folklore’s “August” in a season 2 trailer—check it out and relive the mems below!

Back in 2022, Jenny Han opened up to E! News and dished that it was her “number one dream” to have Taylor on the soundtrack for season 2. “I was listening to Fearless, and I was like, ‘These songs have really helped me get to the finish line,’” the author explained at the time. “When I write books, I like to listen to music to help me see the emotional vein of the story, and her music really did that with me for the series.”

Mission = accomplished!

According to the source, who spoke with People in January 2023, the show is “eyeing” to begin filming season 3 in Wilmington, North Carolina this spring—however, “nothing firm” has been set by the studio yet.
