The trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 is following along with the plot of the second book in the trilogy. While the first season kept the essence of the first book, there were also many differences, including a debutant ball that did not exist in Han's novel.
The Amazon series also added in a few new characters like Shayla and Cleveland in order to keep the adaptation fresh and to offer something new for those who already read the books. Luckily the book's main plot, the love triangle between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah, remained intact, allowing fans to choose either Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah depending on who they want Belly to end up with. There will likely be many differences in the show's second season as well, and one of them already presented itself in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 trailer.
Conrad & Jeremiah Aren't Fighting Their Father In The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2's Beach House Sale Storyline
According to the trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2, someone other than Conrad and Jeremiah's father has control over the fate of the Cousins Beach house. The character, portrayed by Kyra Sedgwick, is the one who wants to sell the house, and she is the one Laurel tries to persuade to change her mind. In the books, Susannah leaves the house to her husband, Adam — Conrad and Jeremiah's father. Conrad and Jeremiah are furious at their dad's decision to sell the house, and it weakens their already strained relationship.
The new storyline means something different for their relationship with their father. In the book, their dad ultimately decides to keep the house as long as Conrad es all of his summer school finals. However, in the show, Conrad doesn't have to make any promises to his dad. Without the resentment Jeremiah and Conrad have toward their father for trying to sell the house, they may be able to have a better relationship with him. However, it could also mean they have no reason to interact with him, meaning they may distance themselves from him this season.
Kyra Sedgwick & Elsie Fisher's New Characters In The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 Explained
Kyra Sedgwick's character in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 is still a mystery, as the name of her character isn't available online. However, if she inherited Savannah's home, then it's likely she may be a relative or another very close friend. Sedgwick's character could be Savannah's sister, though this isn't made clear in the season 2 trailer.
Elsie Fisher is another new cast member who didn't appear in The Summer I Turned Pretty book series. She plays a character named Skye, and the actress has said the character is a close representation of who she is in real life. However, not much else is revealed about her either. However, the trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 makes it clear through her facial expressions that she is against the sale of the house and is going to work with Conrad, Jeremiah, Belly, and Steven to save Savannah's home.
