Photo courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios June 20 (UPI) -- Prime Video is announcing the release schedule for the third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. The first pair of episodes are set to arrive on the streamer July 16, followed by weekly episodes through Sept. 17. The final chapter of the series, which follows an evolving love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung) and brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), will feature 11 episodes. The new schedule is a slight deviation from the sophomore season, which kicked off with a three-episode premiere. All of the Season 1 episodes were released in one block. Both prior seasons contained 8 episodes. A recently released trailer shows Belly announcing her engagement to Jeremiah after his mother's (Rachel Blanchard) funeral service. Jenny Han's books serve as inspiration for the series, which also examines "the complexities of family and the strength of female friendships," according to an official synopsis. Han serves as one of the showrunners and an executive producer.

‘28 Years Later' Director Danny Boyle On Return To Horror Series & Whether 007 Is In His Future
Yes, there are a lot of horror movies out right now, and there are a lot of zombie everywhere from TV to film. But when they're great, they'll definitely find an audience. Enter the next installment of Danny Boyle's 28 infected feature series 28 Years Later, which elevates the undead genre to sophisticated storytelling (a helluva second act) and visual dimensions, the latter as the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire director shot the movie on an iPhone 15 ProMax with a Theo Angelopoulos sense of natural lighting. There was always a want for both screenwriter Alex Garland and Boyle to return to the 28 films after 2009's 28 Weeks Later (which was directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo). While talks fell apart back in the day, coming away from a global pandemic can serve as an inspiration for a director and scribe whose previous work on the subject seemed prescience for a year when 2020 was destitute and shut down. Boyle expounds on the duo's inspirations in the latest episode of Deadline's Crew Call podcast.

Says Boyle, 'There's a movement toward beauty, and as well it's not just about horror, and there is lots of horror in it, but it's also a movement toward beauty as well.' Boyles explains why he's not directing all three planned films (the third movie doesn't even have financing yet, per the director, but Sony has the option to make it after winning the trilogy in an auction) and whether he'd ever think of directing Bond again in the new Amazon MGM Studios regime. 28 Years Later is opening Friday in what's looking to be a $28 million-$30 million domestic debut.
