Prime Video asks fans to stop sharing set locations and visiting the Summer I Turned Pretty movie set, citing safety risks and filming disruptions.
- May 6, 2026
AceShowbiz - The Summer I Turned Pretty movie’s production team is urging fans to respect set privacy and avoid spoilers as filming continues. Prime Video recently issued a statement, creatively displayed as a message written in the sand, asking fans to refrain from visiting the set or sharing location details. The message emphasized that these disruptions pose safety risks for the cast and crew and interfere with the filming process.
The streaming platform explained, "We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew. We're working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it's ready to be shared." This plea was accompanied by a video showing the words "Privacy please" spelled out in the sand, reinforcing the request for discretion.
Fans generally responded positively to the appeal, though some expressed hope for at least a single behind-the-scenes glimpse of the lead characters, Belly and Conrad, to tide them over until the film’s official release. However, the production insists that maintaining a distraction-free environment is essential to delivering the highest quality movie experience.
Adding her voice to the request, Jenny Han, the creator of the original story, shared her concerns on Instagram Stories. She explained that unauthorized filming and crowd interruptions make it difficult for actors to stay in character and generate unnecessary stress. She highlighted how production often has to pause to clear intruders from the set, disrupting the crew’s focus and workflow.
Han expressed her deep connection to the story and her desire to present the best possible adaptation to fans, urging: "This story means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to you, too. I want to give you the best version of this movie. Please help protect our process." For those eager to see how the story of Belly and Conrad unfolds, patience will be rewarded once the movie is released.
