We weren’t having the best day, but sometimes, you can be having the worst day and the world just knows when to throw you a bone. They give you good news and make your dreams come true.
Our dream? A third season of The Summer I Turned Pretty will be happening and that makes everything better. We’re sure it was announced somewhere first, but we saw it on Jenny Han’s Instagram first.
“We’ll Always Have Summer 🤍 So excited to finally share that we’re coming back to Cousins for Season 3, and this time we’ll have 10 whole episodes. It’s been hard not being able to work on the show because of the ongoing strikes, but we can’t wait to get going on Season 3 as soon as we’re able. #thesummeriturnedpretty,” she wrote.
After seeing Jenny’s post, we googled around and saw the announcement. The the green light before the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and though it was announced, we know it will be some time before it moves forward. All that matters to us is that we know it will be moving forward.
