The much-anticipated seventh episode of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Season 3, called “Last Hurrah,” premiered today, Wednesday, August 20, 2025. This season has an expanded format with a total of 11 episodes. This season is the longest ever for the show. Before, seasons had only seven or eight episodes.

Weekly Release Schedule Continues with Episode 7 Premiere

Episode 7 is live on Prime Video. It was released at 12:00 a.m. PT (3:00 a.m. ET) today. This follows the Wednesday release pattern that started with the two-episode season premiere on July 16. The episode shows the last weekend plans before Belly’s wedding to Jeremiah. It features a “Cousins Beach bach weekend.” Friends and family join in for pre-wedding celebrations.

The episode drops at a key moment in the story. Last week, fans saw a dramatic near-kiss between Belly and Conrad. This moment has sparked much speculation about how the series’ main love triangle will end. Episode recaps say Conrad’s feelings for Belly are now “at a boiling point” with the wedding coming up.

Expanded Season Format Accommodates Complex Final Story

Season 3 has 11 episodes, a big change from earlier seasons. Creator Jenny Han says the extra episodes are needed to adapt the final book in her trilogy, “We’ll Always Have Summer.” Han told People magazine that she thought about splitting the third book into two seasons because of its large story. But in the end, she chose to have one long final season.

““We needed more canvas for the story, so that’s how we ended up with 11 episodes. But yeah, three books, three seasons. It feels right to me,” Han explained to Entertainment Weekly.

Remaining Episodes Through September Finale

Following today’s Episode 7 release, four episodes remain in the series’ final season. Episode 8 premieres on August 27. Then, Episode 9 follows on September 3. Episode 10 airs on September 10. Finally, the series finale, Episode 11, will be on September 17, 2025. Each episode will continue to be released on Wednesdays at the same early morning time slot.

The series stars Lola Tung as Belly and Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno as the Fisher brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah. It has kept a weekly release format for Season 3. This follows Season 1, which released all episodes at once, and Season 2, which switched to a weekly schedule.

Conclusion

Today’s release of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Season 3, Episode 7 is a big moment for the series. It comes near the middle of the 11-episode final season. The wedding storyline is at its peak, with romantic tensions still high. The last four episodes will bring the dramatic resolution fans have been waiting for since the series started adapting Jenny Han’s beloved trilogy.
