Prime Video, Han Urge Fans to Respect Movie Set Privacy

Prime Video and author Jenny Han have urged fans of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" to respect production privacy on the set of the upcoming movie adaptation, citing disruptions from visitors sharing locations and videos online.

Filming for the feature-length conclusion to the Prime Video series began recently in North Carolina, where cast members including Lola Tung as Belly, Christopher Briney as Conrad and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah have been spotted. Fan-recorded clips, including scenes of Belly and Conrad embracing on a beach, have circulated widely on platforms like TikTok, prompting concerns over spoilers, halted shoots and safety risks for actors and crew.

The show's official X account, along with Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios' Instagram, posted a statement accompanied by a video of "Privacy Please" written in beach sand. "We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew," it read. "We're working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it's ready to be shared."
