The Summer I Turned Pretty is reminding fans to be mindful of their conversations surrounding the hit show.
Ahead of the show’s third and final season, which will premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, July 16, the show’s official Instagram account released a series of posts on Instagram Stories warning fans to refrain from online harassment of the show’s stars.
“Cousins is our safe place. Everything good, everything magical. Let’s keep the conversation kind this summer,” the first slide read on Monday, July 14, the text overlayed with a photo of two seashells on a dock. The following slide shared a list of community guidelines for viewers.
The community guidelines read, “We have ZERO tolerance for bullying and hate speech. If you engage in any of the following you will be banned: hate speech or bullying, targeting our cast and crew, harassing or doxxing members of the community.”
Shortly before the network’s official statement and guidelines, series star Lola Tung, who plays the show’s romantic heroine Belly Conklin, told Teen Vogue on July 10, “I think we see with a lot of these love-triangle stories, people want the leading girl to end up with someone.”

Tung, 22, continued, “When people have an attachment to the characters, they want to see it come together at the end. I’m so grateful that they care so much, but people get a little scary about it. Please don’t threaten to kill someone if something doesn’t go your way — I promise you, it’s not that serious. Jenny [Han] is so smart and she cares so much about the story and making it the best story that it can be. It will be okay.”

The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on author Jenny Han’s series of novels of the same name originally published in 2009, follows Belly (Tung) as she navigates adolescence, a love triangle between brothers Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney), and how these relationships impact her family, as the boys’ late mother was her mother’s best friend.
