The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty has hit a major milestone, drawing over 25 million global viewers within a week of its July 16 premiere, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This marks a 40% increase compared to Season 2, which garnered approximately 17.9 million viewers in the same time frame in 2023. Additionally, the show’s debut season has seen its audience triple during this period.
With this surge, the series ranks as Prime Video’s fifth most-watched returning show of all time. It follows only Reacher Seasons 2 and 3, The Rings of Power Season 2, and The Boys Season 4 in terms of returning season viewership, according to internal data from the platform.
Series creator and author Jenny Han, who co-showruns the adaptation, expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming response. “Seeing how The Summer I Turned Pretty has resonated with millions... it’s everything I could have hoped for and more,” Han said in a statement. “I’m grateful we got to make all three seasons, one for each book.”
Lead actress Lola Tung, who plays the main character Belly, reflected on her character’s arc in the final season. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Tung said, “It was really fun to feel like it was a more mature journey… and you can sort of tell in the decisions that she makes.”
The series concludes with Season 3, wrapping up its adaptation of Han’s bestselling trilogy on a record-breaking note.
