Season three of The Summer I Turned Pretty kicks off on Wednesday.
The night before three of the top cast members, whose characters are in a love triangle on the weepy teen saga, talked to The Tonight Show about which one will end up with beauty Isabel 'Belly' Conklin.
The stars of the hit show are Lola Tung (as Belly), Gavin Casalegno (who plays Jeremiah) and Christopher Briney (who stars as brooding hunk Conrad).
'Season 2 ended with a major cliffhanger. This was a big deal. I mean, your character, Belly, chose Jeremiah over Conrad,' Jimmy Fallon said before asking Tung what she thought about that ending.
'I'm all for her following her heart,' the actress shared as she said she was 'Team Belly.'
Belly was careful to not give any secretive plot details away.
She continued: 'And she's doing what she needs to do in the moment, and following her heart in that moment and in every moment.'
In a snippet shared during the show, viewers see Belly watching Jeremiah play Twister when Conrad calls him.
Jeremiah asks Belly to answer and she and Conrad have an awkward exchange.
When asked about Season 3, Tung said, 'I think it's a lot more of the emotional rollercoaster you're used to, I guess, and also, you know, there's a little time jump, so we meet the characters in a little bit of a more mature place, I think.'
Season three takes place four years after season two ended.
While on The Tonight Show Tung wore a John Galliano for Dior corset dress from a 2001 collection, along with a pair of 2013 Dior Mary Jane pumps as she accessorized with Panconesi earrings.
In a trailer for the show's third and final season, Conrad is seen asking Belly's best friend Taylor (played by Rain Spencer) for advice about his plan to come back into Belly's life.
It's clear he is ready to win her over again.
The first two episodes of season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty will premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, July 16.
Season three will consist of 10 episodes.
The program, which had viewers crying hard enough to give themselves migraines, has become one of Amazon Prime Video's most popular shows.
Amazon and MGM Studios' head of television, Vernon Sanders, issued a statement to elaborate on the success of the coming-of-age series.
'We've been delighted to see the passion with which fans have embraced The Summer I Turned Pretty, making Summer Fridays an entertainment phenomenon,' he said.
Sanders went on to speak about how The Summer I Turned Pretty, which was created by Jenny Han, had quickly become a fan-favorite program.
'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,' he stated.
The Summer I Turned Pretty is based on Han's book of the same name, which was originally released in 2009.
The book was followed up by a pair of sequels that were published in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
The series is centered on Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, a teenage girl who ends up in a love triangle with a pair of brothers.
