"It may have started as an innocuous TV show seemingly aimed at teens and tweens, but The Summer I Turned Pretty has been a stratospheric hit, hypnotising audiences of all ages. With viewers flitting between camp Conrad or team Jeremiah, hooked on the love triangle between two brothers and the show's pivotal character, Belly, it has kept many of us (even in our late 40s) glued. So, it's with deep sadness for many that the final show of season three airs this month."
"For me, it hits a deeply nostalgic chord on multiple levels. Not only does it ooze with the teenage angst many of us experienced at the age of 16, at a time when romance ruled and hormones soared - the time when many of us, in our own way, turned pretty - it is filmed in a part of the world I love as my own - Wilmington, North Carolina."
The Summer I Turned Pretty has become a cross-generational hit centered on a love triangle between two brothers and the character Belly. Viewers choose camp Conrad or team Jeremiah while anticipating the season three finale. The series is filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina and is presented as the fictional Cousins Beach. Wilmington's coastal features—sea oats, clapboard cottages and wooden boat docks—contribute to the show's nostalgic atmosphere. The town has hosted productions from Dawson's Creek to Cape Fear and The Waterfront. A first visit in 1994 led to later study at UNC Wilmington and frequent returns.
