The “The Summer I Turned Pretty” fandom is being asked to cool off.
The team behind the hit Prime Video series has issued an urgent plea for fans to stop trekking to filming locations, citing “real safety concerns” as they work on the feature film that will wrap up the beloved trilogy.
While the hype is at an all-time high, the production crew revealed that leaked footage and crowded sets are more than just a distraction and are actively disrupting the “protected bubble” needed to finish the story. With clips of the cast racking up hundreds of thousands of views online, the message is clear: if you love the Cousins Beach crew, give them some space to work.
Series creator Jenny Han, who is back in the director’s chair for the grand finale, took to Instagram to explain exactly how these visits are stalling the magic. Han noted that production has repeatedly been forced to halt to clear crowds from the background of shots, a process she says “breaks the crew’s focus” during critical scenes.
After three seasons of watching Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah’s messy love triangle unfold, fans are understandably desperate to see how it ends, but the producers are reminding everyone that the best way to support the cast is to wait for the official release rather than catching a blurry spoiler from the sidelines.
