The 5 Biggest Season 3 Plot Twists Fans Need to Prepare For

The final book, *We'll Always Have Summer*, is the source material for Season 3, but the show has a history of making significant changes. The new season will incorporate a time jump and several high-stakes dramatic developments that will test "Team Conrad" and "Team Jeremiah" like never before.

1. The Finch University Drama and Jeremiah's Betrayal

Season 3 will follow Belly and her best friend, Taylor Jewel, as they enroll at Finch University, where Jeremiah Fisher is already a student. The initial episodes immediately address the fallout from a major event: Jeremiah's betrayal. This plot point, which is central to the final book, sees Belly trying to cope with the emotional damage caused by Jeremiah's actions, even as they attempt to reconcile in a college setting.

2. Belly and Jeremiah's Shock Engagement

In a major development that will send shockwaves through the fandom, one of the Season 3 episodes features Belly telling Taylor in a coffee shop (reportedly Bespoke in downtown Wilmington) that she and Jeremiah are engaged. This shocking, and arguably premature, engagement is a key storyline from the third book, *We'll Always Have Summer*, and serves as the catalyst for the final confrontation between the three main characters.

3. The Iconic Paris Trip with Conrad

Despite the drama with Jeremiah, the season will feature a crucial and highly anticipated trip to Paris. Early episodes show Conrad Fisher and Belly Conklin spending a day together in the romantic city. While their day starts awkwardly, they eventually relax, with Belly even inviting Conrad to her birthday dinner. This European detour, which includes scenes filmed at Charles de Gaulle Airport and on Parisian streets, is a significant moment for "Team Conrad" fans, re-igniting their connection far away from Cousins Beach.

4. Steven Conklin's Career Challenge

Belly's older brother, Steven Conklin, also faces a major life change. The plot reveals that Steven's startup, co-founded with Denise, secures crucial seed funding. While this is a professional triumph, it requires Steven to move to San Francisco, creating distance between him and his friends. This plotline adds a layer of maturity to the series, showing the Conklin children navigating post-college life and career decisions.

5. The Final Book-to-Screen Departures

Season 2 introduced several significant changes, including the new characters Aunt Julia and Skye, and the addition of Kyra Sedgewick and Elsie Fisher's roles, none of whom exist in the original trilogy. Season 3 is expected to continue this trend, with showrunner Jenny Han weaving in original storylines and changing character dynamics. For instance, the show has already handled Belly's loss of virginity differently than the books, and it has explored Jeremiah's sexuality with more nuance, suggesting the final season will prioritize the show's established continuity over strict book fidelity.

Beyond the Finale: The Surprise Feature-Length Film

In a move that caught the entire fandom off guard, a feature-length film was announced following the series conclusion. The final episode of the series is set to air on September 17, 2025, with the movie following shortly after. The core cast, including Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno, are all set to reprise their iconic roles as Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah for this cinematic extension of the story. While plot details remain scarce, the movie is expected to provide an epilogue or a new chapter entirely, potentially exploring the characters' lives several years after the events of the series finale. This announcement ensures that even after the final episode of the series drops, the summer romance, the drama of the love triangle, and the nostalgic setting of Cousins Beach will continue to live on for the devoted fanbase. The movie is a massive win for fans who may not be ready to say goodbye to the world Jenny Han created.
