‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Author Jenny Han on Becoming a Showrunner for the First Time: ‘It Was a Baptism by Fire’

All about love! As The Summer I Turned Pretty fans found themselves caught between Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah, the cast of the hit Prime Video series has had sparks flying off screen in their own love lives.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 is happening, a follow-up to the Amazon show based on Jenny Han’s best-selling young adult book series. In fact, it was before the first even aired. Han will continue to be co-showrunner on the series; her partner on season one, Gabrielle Stanton, will be replaced by Sarah Kucserka for the second season.

I love Atlanta, not because it is a perfect city but because it is the site of so many struggles for freedom—no matter how Republicans may abuse that word—in the midst of a region of oppression. That is why I must oppose the project to destroy a vast swath of the city’s forest in the name of a center for the enhancement of police violence and a gentrification driving film studio. No good can come of this environmental destruction or these terrible purposes for which it is being enacted.

The plot thickens! The Summer I Turned Pretty made quite a splash with its debut on Prime Video — and Belly’s (Lola Tung) love triangle with brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) is only going to get even more complicated in season 2.

Team Jeremiah! While Conrad Fisher gets a lot of hype — and love — in The Summer I Turned Pretty, his younger brother is a notable force.
