Prime Video Orders Season 3 of Hit Series; I Am Groot Returns to Disney+

Prime Video announced that it has greenlit a 10-episode third season of the global hit series, The Summer I Turned Pretty. Based on the best-selling book trilogy from Jenny Han, the Prime Video drama has been a breakout success, performing particularly well with young women viewers. Season Two of The Summer I Turned Pretty is one of the 10 most watched seasons of any series ever on the service. The second season premiered July 14 and more than doubled Season One's viewership within three days of launch. Season Three of the Amazon Original series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
Season Three was officially greenlit ahead of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Production on Season Three will not begin until after labor negotiations with those unions have been resolved. Season Three of The Summer I Turned Pretty is led by showrunners Jenny Han and Sarah Kucserka. Han, Kucserka, and Karen Rosenfelt serve as executive producers, along with Hope Hartman, Mads Hansen, and Paul Lee for wiip. The series is a co-production of Amazon Studios and wiip. The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship. It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer. The second season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is now streaming on Prime Video, with new episodes weekly until the season finale on Friday, August 18, 2023.
