Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty are so eager for the upcoming movie that they've been tracking down the set in Wilmington, North Carolina, and sharing photos online. But Prime Video is putting the brakes on that behavior, issuing an official warning about safety and spoilers.
On the show's X account, the streaming service wrote: "We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew. 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."
The warning comes after snapshots of stars Lola Tung and Christopher Briney on set began circulating online. The movie, which started production on April 27, is the next chapter after the third season ended Belly's love triangle in September 2025. Creator Jenny Han has teased that the film will follow another major milestone for the character.
This isn't just a minor annoyance for the production team. With the show's massive popularity—Season 3 drew 70 million viewers in its first 70 days, a 65% jump from Season 2—the set has become a magnet for superfans. But the studio is clear: the risks to cast and crew outweigh the thrill of a sneak peek.
Prime Video has been on a roll with hit series, from binge-worthy shows like Reacher and The Boys to the cultural phenomenon of The Summer I Turned Pretty. The show spent over 200 days on the U.S. streaming charts, and its third season was the number one most-watched series in over 140 countries at its peak.
For now, fans will have to wait for official updates. The movie's plot remains under wraps, but the warning makes one thing clear: the magic of Cousins is best enjoyed on screen, not through leaked set photos.
