Will Belly and Conrad Tie the Knot? Jenny Han & Lola Tung Tease TSITP Movie’s Big Milestones

After the emotional conclusion of The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video, fans’ biggest question remains: Will Belly and Conrad finally get married? The show’s creator Jenny Han and lead actress Lola Tung have begun to share tantalizing clues — and the answer is anything but simple.
The Series Ending: Love Reconfirmed, But No Wedding

When the series finale aired on September 17, 2025, viewers saw Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney) reconcile and return to Cousins Beach together. But unlike the books, the show did not depict their wedding. Wikipedia+4Variety+4People.com+4
Han later explained to Entertainment Weekly that she opted to emphasize their reunion and emotional resolution over a brief, potentially rushed wedding scene. “I felt like we just went through a whole season of wedding planning, so I didn’t want to do more wedding,” Han said. EW.com+2TheWrap+2 Tung, too, supported the choice — seeing the Parisian ending as “romantic and beautiful” even without a ring. EW.com+2ELLE+2
That decision diverged from the book trilogy’s epilogue, which fast-forwards to Belly and Conrad’s marriage. Variety+3Wikipedia+3The Express Tribune+3
The Movie: The Next Chapter — and a Major Milestone

Not long after the finale, Prime Video confirmed that TSITP would continue in the form of a feature film, with Jenny Han writing and directing. People.com+4Cosmopolitan+4TheWrap+4 Han described the film as tackling “another big milestone” in Belly’s life — a phrase that fans immediately associated with a wedding. Glamour+2Cosmopolitan+2
In interviews, Han and Tung have gently stoked speculation. During a Today show appearance, Han revealed that while the film is not set to premiere in 2026, the story would explore deeper into Belly and Conrad’s relationship. Cosmopolitan+5mint+5People.com+5 Tung added that the film would see Belly’s love for Conrad deepen, hinting that the couple’s journey is far from over. Hindustan Times
Reports also suggest that production is still in its early phases — the script is drafted, but filming has not yet commenced. TheWrap+2Yahoo+2
What the Fans Expect — and What Might Be Different
Given the book’s conclusion, many fans anticipate the wedding will take center stage in the movie. Wikipedia+5Cosmopolitan+5Yahoo+5 Theories even point to scenes set in Paris — like a proposal — aligning with the show’s final episodes, which ended in the City of Light. Cosmopolitan+2Cosmopolitan+2
But Han has indicated she may not simply reproduce the book’s path. She’s described the movie as not a continuation of the series in format, but rather a way to give fans the emotional closure that deserves more space than an epilogue could deliver. People.com+3TheWrap+3Glamour+3
For example, Han’s decision to skip the wedding in the show reflected her desire to avoid a superficial or rushed version of what should be a meaningful moment — she preferred to leave room for the movie to treat it properly. Cosmopolitan+3EW.com+3TheWrap+3
The Bottom Line: Will They Marry?
At this point, nothing is confirmed. But the signs point strongly in one direction:
-
Yes, a wedding is likely in the film — it’s one of the few major milestones left in Belly’s story.
-
But we shouldn’t expect a simple retelling of the book’s epilogue. Jenny Han wants to grant the moment the time and weight it deserves.
-
The film may also explore the emotional aftermath: sensitivities, expectations, changes — not just the ceremony.
So while viewers didn’t get a wedding in the show’s finale, it’s almost certain the movie will give Belly and Conrad that chapter — only this time, more fully realized, more emotionally resonant, and perhaps in a way that surprises us again.
