Overview
- Season 3 was produced and released as the series finale, with no current plan for a fourth season.
- Jenny Han emphasized that the TV ending includes surprises and deliberate departures from her novels.
- The show implements a larger time jump than the books and restructures character ages and relationship timelines.
- Key storytelling shifts include removing Belly’s inner narration and adding new catalysts, such as Steven’s car accident and a Conrad–Belly flashback intimacy scene absent from the novels.
- The expanded 11-episode run broadens secondary arcs and settings, devoting more time to relationships beyond the central triangle and to Belly’s experiences abroad.
