UPDATE: Gavin Casalegno, star of the hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty, has just revealed why he believes Denise is a better match for Jeremiah than Belly. Speaking exclusively with Us Weekly at the T-Mobile unveiling during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the 26-year-old actor emphasized that Denise brings out a different side of Jeremiah.
Casalegno stated, “I think Denise does see Jeremiah in a different light. Belly growing up with Jeremiah has created a familiarity that might have stunted things.” This fresh perspective on their relationship dynamics has fans buzzing as the series wraps its storyline.
Despite Jeremiah ending the series in a relationship with Denise, Casalegno expressed mixed feelings about the decision. “It might be a little too early for him to be jumping back into a relationship,” he joked, adding, “But whatever makes him happy, go for it!” This candid take highlights the emotional complexity behind the show’s character arcs.
The finale, which aired in September, initially seemed like a conclusion to the franchise. However, Prime Video has announced that a feature film is in the works to further explore the beloved characters. “I don’t have a script. I don’t have anything. I know I’m filming next year, but I don’t even know what it’s going to be about,” Casalegno admitted.
Jenny Han, the author of the novels that inspired the series, has teased that “another big milestone is left in Belly’s journey,” expressing gratitude to Prime Video for continuing to support her vision. This leaves fans eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for their favorite characters.
Casalegno expressed excitement over Jeremiah’s future, hoping he continues to pursue his culinary passions. “I even called Jenny the other week and was like, ‘So what can you give me?’ She didn’t give me anything,” he revealed, highlighting the suspense surrounding the new project.
With the series’ conclusion leaving fans divided between Team Jeremiah and Team Conrad, Casalegno reflected on the fun he had teasing audiences about possible spoilers. “I had a blast teasing everyone—then they start going crazy in their heads. I had a lot of fun being Team Jeremiah,” he recalled.
As the anticipation builds for the upcoming movie, T-Mobile’s unveiling event also showcased their latest innovations aimed at enhancing customer experiences, proving that the excitement surrounding Casalegno’s revelations and the telecommunications giant’s advancements are both making waves.
Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty can expect an emotional and engaging continuation of the story, with both the cast and creators committed to delivering a satisfying conclusion. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as production details unfold!
