‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' season 3 trailer drops with a double dose of Taylor Swift
The first trailer for "The Summer I Turned Pretty" season 3 is here, and it's bringing all the feels — along with a generous dose of Taylor Swift.
The Prime Video romantic drama returns July 16 with a third and final season that wraps up the love triangle involving Belly (Lola Tung) and two brothers who've been her lifelong friends.
Set to a soaring mash-up of 'Daylight' and 'Red,' the teaser hints at a season packed with the kind of romantic tension that only a Cousins Beach summer can deliver. Yes, the love triangle is still very much alive ... and messier than ever.
Season 3 picks up after the emotional fallout of the second season finale. In the trailer, Belly is happy and in love with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). So happy that the young couple wants to get married!
Emphasis on the young. Belly's mom Laurel (Jackie Chung) thinks they're too young, but Jeremiah is adamant that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Belly. Meanwhile, their nuptial plans come as a shock to Conrad (Christopher Briney), Jeremiah's brother and Belly's ex, because he's still in love with her, too.
The trailer is soundtracked by two Taylor Swift songs. First comes 'Daylight," which is about leaving behind the darkness of past heartbreaks and discovering a love that feels warm and healing. Its use suggests that Belly may have found "the one" in Jeremiah.
Yet, when Conrad comes back into the picture, the anthemic "Red" soars. The song describes the intense, tumultuous emotions of a passionate but ultimately doomed relationship.

The mash-up of those two songs indicate that, once again, Belly will be torn between the steady, gentle love offered by Jeremiah and the burning fire that is Conrad.
Based on Jenny Han's bestselling trilogy, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" has always leaned heavily on music to heighten its emotional beats, and Swift's catalog has been a recurring companion. Past seasons have included 'This Love," "Invisible String" and "Delicate."
Season 3 will include 11 episodes — up from the seven and eight of the first two seasons — giving the series more time to conclude Belly's romantic journey. Whether you're Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah or just here for the Taylor Swift montages, one thing's clear: "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is gearing up for its most emotionally charged season yet.
"The Summer I Turned Pretty" season 3 premieres Wednesday, July 16 on Prime Video.

Elliot Page seemingly hard launches his new girlfriend on Instagram
Elliot Page closed out Pride weekend with an Instagram post that needed only two emojis to make his point. In the photo, Page and Overcompensating actress and comic Julia Shiplett leaning into each other in matching dark jackets and sunglasses, the pavement beneath them painted in vivid rainbow stripes, was captioned simply with a rainbow and a double heart emoji. Within minutes, everyone had the same takeaway: the Umbrella Academy star just hard-launched his first public relationship since transitioning in 2020. For Page, 38, the reveal marks a new public chapter after several very private ones. He came out as transgender in December 2020, divorced dancer Emma Portner five months later, and wrote candidly in his 2023 memoir Pageboy about past relationships with Kate Mara, Olivia Thirlby, and an unnamed closeted actress. Last summer, he told the Los Angeles Times that post-transition dating felt 'the most fun I've ever had,' crediting a newfound ease in his body for deeper connections. Saturday's grin seems to prove it. See on Instagram Shiplett, best known for her dry-as-dust turns in Prime Video's queer rom-com Overcompensating and cult favorites High Maintenance and Love Life, seemingly confirmed the news in equally word-sparse fashion. Her Instagram Story showed Page standing shirtless in a steaming hot spring, the caption reading, 'Happy prideee 💦😮💨.' — (@) Shiplett, 38, has also built a stand-up following by skewering bisexual panic, awkward hookups, and millennial ennui—material that dovetails neatly with Page's dry humor. The pair has so far kept specifics offline, and representatives for both declined to comment. Still, the timing of the post on Pride's final weekend reads like a deliberate love letter to the community that has championed Page's journey from Juno breakout to trans icon. Until we see them on a red carpet or trading giggles in someone else's selfie, that single rainbow road will have to suffice. But for now, Pride 2025 ends with a reminder that queer joy and a well-placed emoji can light up an entire feed.

Pirates of the Caribbean star says there have "been talks" about reuniting the original cast for another movie: "We'll have to see where it lands"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's been eight years since Orlando Bloom last played blacksmith-turned-sea captain Will Turner in Disney's swashbuckling series Pirates of the Caribbean. But there's a real chance he'll reprise in the future, the actor recently revealed -- and he wouldn't be the only one returning... While promoting his new Prime Video movie Deep Cover, Bloom appeared on British talk show This Morning, where he was asked by hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley whether or not we'd ever see himself, Keira Knightley (who plays Will's partner Elizabeth Swann), and Johnny Depp (as Jack Sparrow) onscreen together again. "There's been all kinds of things. Who knows? There's been talk. I can't say anything at the moment, because I really don't know. They're definitely... I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like. I, personally, think it would be great to get the band back together. That would be great. But there are always different ideas, so we'll see where it lands." Bloom has appeared in four of the five Pirates of the Caribbean films so far, though his screentime has varied across them. He was one of the three main protagonists in The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End, before he had a cameo role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017. He was absent completely from 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Last we heard, there was a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean movie and a female-led spin-off starring Margot Robbie in the works, though updates on the latter project have been scarce -- and the Barbie actor actually claimed back in 2022 that it had been scrapped. "It's two different movies," producer Jerry Bruckheimer later told Entertainment Weekly in 2024. "We hope to get 'em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too." For more, check out our picks of the most exciting upcoming movies heading our way.
