While Prime Video has not announced a premiere date for the Summer I Turned Pretty film yet, given that it has only just been greenlit, the film could take some time for Han to complete the script.
Hopefully, the film's shorter running time means that fans won't have to wait a full two years to return to Cousins Beach, in the way that they did between seasons two and three.
