‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ cast filmed fake scenes to trick fans

The creator of The Summer I Turned Pretty, Jenny Han revealed a shocking fact about the series.

They had decided to film scenes with main stars Lola Tung and Gavin Casalegno reuniting in Paris, hoping they would be spotted to mislead audiences about the finale.

The author told Entertainment Weekly, "We did have Gavin come out so that we could have some stuff with him in Paris, just because I like to keep surprises for the audience. That's really hard in this day and age. As movies get filmed, people see the whole movie, and I think it takes away from some of the excitement around it when you have all these spoilers. So that was my way of trying to protect the story for the audience."

Casalegno recalled being called out to shoot the scenes, saying, "They were like, 'Hey, we're going to fly you out to Paris and you're going to film some scenes. I was like, 'I don't know why, but sure. I'm down.' I got to spend like a week or two out in Paris, which is not bad at all. I really enjoyed it."

It was announced after the finale that the series would be concluding with a film. 

Audiences were generally satisfied with the conclusion of the third season, with those formerly hoping for a Belly and Jeremiah endgame changing their minds following his questionable actions throughout the season.
