'Summer I Turned Pretty' creators issue statement requesting privacy
What's the story
Amazon Prime Video has requested fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) to respect the privacy of its cast and crew during filming. The request comes after some fans visited the sets and shared their locations on social media, disrupting production and creating safety concerns. For the unversed, the third-season premiere episode of the hit series premiered last July and was watched by 70 million viewers within 70 days.
Statement
'We love the excitement but...'
Prime Video's official TSITP X account posted a message on Wednesday, saying, "We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew." "We're working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible." "Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it's ready to be shared." The statement was accompanied by a video of people writing "PRIVACY PLEASE" in the sand on a beach.

Author's plea
'This story means a lot to me...'
Jenny Han, the author of the book series on which TSITP is based, also shared the video on her Instagram Stories. She added, "When people come to set, film, and share videos, it disrupts the work." "It makes it harder for actors to get into character." "This story means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to you, too. I want to give you the best version of this movie. Please help protect our process."
Series finale
Meanwhile, here's everything we know about movie adaptation
On the launch day of the series finale last September, Amazon announced that Han would conclude TSITP with a movie. Plot details are yet to be made public. The show follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin's (Lola Tung) love triangle with brothers Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). It is expected to premiere in 2027.
