What Will the Movie Be About?
While the Season 3 finale gave us our endgame (Belly and Conrad!), it was based on the final chapters of the third book. However, We’ll Always Have Summer also has an amazing epilogue that jumps forward in time.
The movie is almost certain to be an adaptation of that epilogue. Jenny Han herself has teased that the film will cover “another big milestone for Belly’s journey.”
If you’ve read the books, you know exactly what this means. For those who haven’t, I’ll just say we should probably expect to see:
- Life after college for Belly and Conrad.
- Belly’s time in Paris (which was a change from the book’s Spain, but set up in the finale).
- Conrad and Jeremiah truly mending their brotherhood.
- And, most exciting of all, a wedding!
It’s the perfect way to give us that beautiful, happy ending that a quick finale montage just can’t capture.
When Can We Actually See the Movie?
This is the only “bad” news. Since the movie was just announced, it has to be written, filmed, and produced. Jenny Han confirmed that a draft is done, but she also said the movie will not be released in 2026. This means we are probably looking at a 2027 release date at the earliest.
It’s a long wait, but I know it will be worth it to see this story get the perfect ending it deserves.
