The fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty have been divided into Team Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Team Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Ahead of the release of the third and final chapter in the Prime Video series, fan theories have taken over the web, predicting which Fisher brother Belly (Lola Tung) will choose in the end.
In case you need to jog your memory, season 2 of TSITP ended up with Belly and Jeremiah kissing, and a recently released teaser trailer of the new part shows them basking in the happiness of their young and carefree love until¡ Conrad shows up to shake up their seemingly perfect romance. The teaser trailer further makes the best use of Taylor Swift's songs to perfectly describe Belly's love for Conrad and Jeremiah¡ªwhile love for Jere was golden like Daylight for Belly, Connie was her Red, with whom she shares a tumultuous past that is as traumatic as it is passionate. The choice of songs signifies that Belly and Jeremiah are everything and more, but the chapter with Conrad is not over.
But before this clever detailing in the teaser trailer, the makers dropped another subtle hint about Belly and Conrad's storyline with the first poster of the trio, which fans now believe is inspired by the 1954 film Sabrina, where Audrey Hepburn had to make the same choice as Belly: choose between two brothers. Now, taking a cue from the film, fans have theorised that Belly would end up with Conrad. Scroll ahead to find why.
In the poster for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Jeremiah is seen planting a kiss on Belly's cheek, while Conrad bears a grim expression as Belly, with a soft smile, gazes into the camera. The poster seems to have been inspired by the film Sabrina, as Audrey Hepburn's character Sabrina is similarly sandwiched between two brothers, Linus Larrabee and David Larrabee.
Fans believe that not just the poster, but Jenny Han's original book series, which the show is based on, also takes cues from the movie and might wrap up with a similar ending.
The 1954 film, based on Samuel Taylor's 1953 play Sabrina Fair, follows Sabrina Fairchild, the youngest daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur. All her life, she has been in love with David Larrabee, a three-times-married, non-working playboy who sees Sabrina as a child. But when Sabrina returns from Paris after two years, he sees her in a new light¡ªa young and attractive woman he wants to get close to. However, his marriage has already been fixed to Elizabeth Tyson, a wealthy heiress, to strengthen the business relationship between the two powerful families.
So when the older Larrabee brother, Linus, gets wind of David's new romantic pursuits, he tries to intervene to save David's marriage to Elizabeth. He manages to convince David to move forward with his imminent nuptials while taking his place in Sabrina's life. However, during the process, he himself falls in love with her, though he would never admit it.
But after a moment of introspection, he decides to stop playing tricks and suggests that David leave with Sabrina for Paris and they get their fairytale ending. However, in the final moments, David decides to ultimately marry Elizabeth, leaving Linus and Sabrina to finally confront their feelings and sail to Paris together.
Fans have now drawn parallels between Sabrina and The Summer I Turned Pretty, particularly between the characters of David and Jeremiah and Conrad and Linus.
Many have theorised that David is like Jeremiah, the nonchalant younger brother who takes it one day at a time, while Conrad is the mirror image of Linus, the responsible older brother who plans ahead.
Since in the movie, Sabrina finally sails with Linus, fans believe that Belly will also ultimately choose the older brother, Conrad, in The Summer I Turned Pretty.?
There's another connection that is symbolic of The Summer I Turned Pretty's inspiration from Sabrina. So if you have read the book, you would know that Belly leaves her college in Spain and instead moves to Paris. In the movie, Sabrina also returns from Paris and sails to the French city again after finding love in Linus.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 comes out on Prime Video on July 16, 2025.
