The teaser art reveals Belly Conklin (portrayed by Lola Tung) receiving a cheek kiss from Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno), while his brother Conrad (Christopher Briney) appears unimpressed. Belly seems thrilled with the attention, prompting a flurry of comments from fans when the image was posted on Instagram by Prime Video.
Influencer Cat Quinn humorously questioned: "Why is he there [sic]" referring to Jeremiah, while the Dunkin Doughnuts account quipped: "I feel like Belly when I can't decide between matcha or iced coffee.."
Author and co-showrunner Han simply shared a heart wrapped in a yellow bow emoji.
The third season of the drama will consist of 11 episodes, making it the longest run to date.
The first series had seven episodes and the second one featured eight, so fans can expect plenty of drama this time around.
Prime Video has not yet confirmed whether it will release season three as a boxset or on a weekly basis. An announcement is expected closer to the release date.
The first season was released all at once for audiences to binge-watch, while the second season was spread over five weeks with the first three episodes released simultaneously and the rest gradually made available to viewers.
The main cast will return with actress, model and singer Lola Tung reprising her role as Belly, who is torn between the Fisher brothers.
Mean Girls actor Christopher Briney will be back as Conrad Fisher, while Gavin Casalegno will return as Jeremiah Fisher.
Other characters expected to return include Rain Spencer as Belly's best friend Taylor Madison Jewel, Colin Ferguson as John Conklin, Tom Everett Scott as Adam Fisher, Jackie Chung as Laurel Park, and Sean Kaufman as Steven Conklin, among others.
Jenny Han and Sarah Kucserka will serve as showrunners for the final season.
The popular series is set to continue its adaptation of the beloved books, with season three anticipated to follow the narrative of the final 2011 novel 'We'll Always Have Summer'.
Viewers are on tenterhooks to discover which brother Belly will end up with and how the saga concludes.
Prime Video's summary tantalises fans: "The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl and two brothers, the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship.
"It is a coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer."
