'The Summer I Turned Pretty' doesn't want fans to take their fictional 'shipping' too far

'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' based on Jenny Han's popular book series, issued a PSA this week asking fans to "keep the conversation kind." But is that even possible?

Nothing riles up a fan base quite like a love triangle.

After the massive success of their hit series "The Summer I Turned Pretty," creator Jenny Han and stars behind the Amazon Prime Video show are very aware of this fact.

The show, which is based on Han's popular books, follows teens Belly Conklin (Lola Tung), and brothers Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney). The childhood friends find themselves entangled in a messy love triangle that plays out during their summers together at the fictional Cousins Beach. It's a storyline that's sparked a battle between "Team Jeremiah" and "Team Conrad" fans online, with thousands posting TikTok videos analyzing scenes or dissecting every character's decisions in an active Reddit thread dedicated to the show.

But ahead of the third and final season's debut this week, the show issued a strong message to its millions of viewers: Don't take your "shipping" — or supporting a romantic pairing between two characters — too far.

In a public service announcement on its social media pages on Monday, the show warned fans that it has a “ZERO tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech,” adding that if fans engage in “hate speech or bullying,” “targeting our cast or crew” or “harassing or doxxing members of the community,” they “will be banned” from the “Summer” community.
