The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are always on the lookout for possible Easter eggs, but there is one they definitely missed in the show’s third and final season.
Creator Jenny Han opened up about the onscreen nod during an interview with Entertainment Weekly published August 6. “I do make a cameo in this episode,” she revealed. “It’s just my voice. The reason why I’m even saying it now is because I don’t think anyone’s going to pick up on it, it’s like the tiniest thing, but it made me laugh.”
Han wouldn’t reveal the exact details surrounding her cameo.
“I don’t think anyone’s going to know it’s me,” she added. “It’s almost impossible, honestly.”
Which Book Scenes Are in the ‘Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3 Trailer?
Before her mysterious voiceover work in season 3, Han, who has also served as showrunner and director on The Summer I Turned Pretty, made an appearance in season 1 at the debutante ball and in season 2 at a liquor store.
Han took her talents to Prime Video with TSITP after previously adapting her To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before book series with three Netflix films. The hit onscreen trilogy, which starred Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, inspired the streaming platform to expand the universe with spinoff series XO, Kitty, which wrapped production on season 3 in July.
Meanwhile, The Summer I Turned Pretty premiered in 2021 and is focused on a love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung), Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). The current season is slated to be the show’s last as Belly finally makes a decision between Conrad and Jeremiah.
Viewers have taken their passion to the next level by pointing out any hidden details or Easter eggs that they can find.
Biggest Differences Between ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ TV Series and Books
“People are always picking up on stuff,” Han told EW. “There’s definitely some that people have not picked up on, which I wouldn’t discuss until after everything’s out, and then you could look carefully for some of those little breadcrumbs.”
Han did acknowledge that not every theory was correct. “I saw something today that was not true,” she added. “There’s definitely intentional things, and then there’s also things that were not [intentional]. I feel very flattered that people spend time thinking about what we made and giving it that level of attention and time in their own lives.”
Han concluded: “It’s a privilege that people care enough to come up with their own theories about things. People should be able to look at the work and come up with their own opinions on it that are separate from me, in terms of being the creator. Those [theories] are all valid, and whatever you take away is what you’re taking away from it. So even if it may not have been intentional, I think that there’s validity.”
The Summer I Turned Pretty airs on Prime Video Wednesdays.
