Prime Video is reminding The Summer I Turned Pretty fans to not engage in harassment ahead of the season 3 premiere.
The official account for the streaming site released a statement on Monday, July 14, which read, “Cousins is our safe place. Everything good, everything magical. Let’s keep the conversation kind this summer.”
Prime Video provided “community guidelines” for fans to follow.
“We have a ZERO tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech,” they noted. “If you engage in any of the following, you will be banned.”
The statement asked that fans not engage in “hate speech or bullying, targeting our cast or crew and harassing or doxxing members of the community.” This comes after The Summer I Turned Pretty lead Lola Tung had a message for viewers who were taking fictional shipping too far.
Tung, 22, reflected on the Prime Video show’s final season during a Thursday, July 10, interview with Teen Vogue, saying, “When people have an attachment to the characters, they want to see it come together at the end.”
The actress expressed concern about certain online reactions.
“I’m so grateful that they care so much, but people get a little scary about it,” she admitted. “Please don’t threaten to kill someone if something doesn’t go your way — I promise you, it’s not that serious.”
Tung continued: “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 OK.”
Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, which premieres on Wednesday, July 16, will presumably follow the events in Han’s third novel from the franchise, We’ll Always Have Summer, to life. As fans prepare to tune in to see whether Tung’s character Belly chooses Conrad (Christopher Briney) or Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), there were some surprise teases from the cast about the outcome of the love triangle.
“There are going to be surprises,” Han told Entertainment Weekly in March. “There are the things that [book fans] know and then there are things they think they know, and then there’s going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them.”

Casalegno, 25, exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2023 that he didn’t mind the show potentially straying from the original events in the books.
“I do feel like there’s a strong chance that that’s a possibility,” he noted. “Obviously, I know where [my character Jeremiah] ends up going and what ends up happening. But I don’t emphasize on that. Because I think Jenny writes it so well that I’m able to kind of get there naturally without having to force it in a certain direction.”
The Summer I Turned Pretty returns to Prime Video on July 16.
