Based on Jenny Han‘s book series, The Summer I Turned Pretty became the number one show on Prime Video during its premiere weekend and Season 2 is well underway with the help of showrunners Han and Sarah Kucserka who executive produce alongside Karen Rosenfelt, Gabrielle Stanton, Hope Hartman, Mads Hansen, and Paul Lee.
Described as a multigenerational drama, The Summer I Turned Pretty hinges on a love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung) and two brothers — Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) — as well as the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendships. It’s a coming-of-age tale about first love, heartbreak, and the magic of a perfect summer.
Sedgwick is best known for her role on TNT‘s crime drama The Closer and most recently appeared on television in ABC‘s comedy Call Your Mother. Her other television credits include Brooklyn Nine-Nine and directing for Grace and Frankie, City on a Hill, and Ray Donovan.
Meanwhile, Fisher made her breakthrough with A24’s film Eighth Grade for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination. She’s since featured in series ranging from Hulu‘s Castle Rock to HBO‘s dark comedy Barry.
