When is The Summer I Turned Pretty movie release date?

There's currently no confirmed release date just yet, and it still might not be for quite a while yet. But we do now have an update on when production will start.

According to Production Weekly, an industry insider report of which films and TV shows are in production, The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is reportedly set to start filming in April. April 27th, to be exact.

Per the Production Weekly issue, filming will take place in Wilmington, North Carolina as well as Massachussets.

Following the official The Summer I Turned Pretty movie announcement, The Today Show caught up with Jenny Han who dropped a few early teasers about when fans can expect to see the next instalment of the series.

In terms of the writing process and release date, Jenny added: "It's still a little too soon to say but Sarah Kurcserka [co-showrunner] and I have finished a draft so we're chugging along."

However, when pressed if the film is coming out in 2026 or 2027, Jenny said: "We don't know when it's coming out but not next year because we still have to make it."

With production starting in April 2026, filming lasting until June and then a lengthy post-production period, it's highly likely that fans won't get to see the movie this year.
