New Faces and Returning Favorites for The Final Season (Season 3)
The third and final season of the Prime Video series, which covers the events of the third book, We'll Always Have Summer, required the introduction of several key new characters to navigate the final stages of Belly’s journey. While the central conflict remains the Belly-Conrad-Jeremiah love triangle, the expanded cast added fresh drama and tension.
In addition to the main cast—including Jackie Chung (Laurel Park), Sean Kaufman (Steven Conklin), and Rain Spencer (Taylor)—here are some of the notable new cast members who joined the show to shake up the dynamics at Cousins Beach and beyond:
The returning cast members were essential in providing the emotional anchor for the series finale. Steven's relationship with Taylor, and Laurel's own journey with her grief and career, offered crucial subplots that provided topical authority beyond the central romance.
Key New Actors Introduced in Season 3
The final season brought in a handful of new talents, often playing characters from Belly’s college life or new acquaintances of the Fisher brothers. These additions were critical for showing the main characters moving into a new phase of their lives away from the idyllic summer setting.
- Isabella Briggs as Denise: A new character who interacts with the main group, potentially adding a new dimension to their social circle.
- Kristen Connolly as Lucinda Jewel: While details are kept under wraps, this role is expected to be a significant adult figure or a new love interest for one of the parents.
- Sofia Bryant as Anika: Known for her role in I Am Not Okay With This, Bryant’s casting was a major talking point, suggesting a pivotal new friend or rival for Belly.
- Lily Donoghue as Lacie Barone: Another fresh face, likely playing a college friend or acquaintance who helps propel the story forward outside of Susannah’s beach house.
- Zoe de Grand Maison as Agnes: Known for Orphan Black, de Grand Maison's inclusion hints at a more complex, dramatic subplot for the final episodes.
Beyond Cousins Beach: The Cast’s Shocking New Projects in 2025 and 2026
With the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, the cast is quickly leveraging their newfound fame into diverse and exciting projects. The shift from sun-drenched romance to psychological thrillers and major motion pictures is a clear sign of their rapidly evolving careers.
Christopher Briney: From Beach Brooder to Broadway Star?
Christopher Briney's post-TSITP career is arguably the most high-profile so far. His role as Conrad Fisher established him as a leading man, but his turn as the charming, yet complex, Aaron Samuels in the 2024 film adaptation of the Broadway musical Mean Girls showcased his range to a wider, global audience.
Fans are eager to see what he tackles next, with industry buzz suggesting a move towards more dramatic roles or even a return to his theater roots, given his BFA in Acting. His involvement in the *Mean Girls* movie demonstrates a willingness to take on well-known, high-budget projects, separating him from the 'Team Conrad' persona.
Lola Tung: A Dive into Indie Horror and Thrillers
Lola Tung, who masterfully played the confused and heartfelt Belly Conklin, is making a significant and surprising pivot in her career direction. Instead of sticking to YA romance, Tung is embracing the indie film world, particularly in the horror and thriller genres.
Her upcoming projects include:
- Forbidden Fruits: A horror film adapted from a play, signaling a darker, more intense role for the actress.
- The Young People: A new feature from acclaimed horror director Osgood Perkins. This role is a major shift from the light-hearted drama of TSITP and is set to redefine her image as a serious dramatic actress.
This strategic move allows Tung to showcase a different side of her acting talent, proving she can handle complex, emotionally demanding roles outside of the beloved Jenny Han universe.
The Future of the Fisher Brothers: The TSITP Movie
The most immediate and exciting future project for the core cast is the announced The Summer I Turned Pretty follow-up movie. While the third season concludes the events of the book trilogy, the film is expected to serve as an epilogue, offering fans a final, definitive look at Belly’s choice and the lives of the Fisher brothers years after the events of the series.
Both Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno have confirmed their return, emphasizing the strong bond the cast shares and their commitment to giving fans of Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah a satisfying conclusion. This movie is a clear signal that even as the actors move on to new projects, the world of Cousins Beach remains a central part of their professional identity for the foreseeable future.
