The Summer I Turned Pretty's Belly has found solace in Paris after her wedding to Jeremiah was abruptly cancelled.

Despite being far from home, the main character (portrayed by Lola Tung) quickly finds companionship in the city of love.

Prime Video offered a sneak peek into Belly's new life with a trailer released on Friday (August 29). The two-minute preview showcases Belly working at a local cinema and socialising with friends, including a character played by Corinna Brown, known for her role in Heartstopper.

Netflix viewers will recognise Brown as Tara Jones, a British teenager who grapples with first loves and friendships in the popular teen drama, reports the Mirror.

Upon the announcement of her casting, the 26-year-old actress shared her excitement with fans on social media. She posted the final TSITP trailer on TikTok, captioning it: "Secret's out. Last 3 episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty from 3rd Sept!!!"

Fans were quick to show their support for the London-born actress. One fan enthused: "SO PROUD OF YOU CORINNA!!!!" Another added: "The way I literally screamed when I saw you," while a third exclaimed: "OMG TARA JONESSSSSS."

One surprised fan commented: "Heartstopper X TSITP was not on my 2025 bingo board."

Brown appears in a recurring role in the upcoming three episodes, alongside Untamed Royals actor Fernando Cattori, French-Swiss star Isaline Prevost Radeff, and Gangs of London's Jahz Armando.

The newcomers join leading actors Tung, Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno.

So far, the audience has been following Belly and Jeremiah as they gear up for their wedding day, while Conrad secretly harbours feelings for Belly.

The much-anticipated day crumbled in episode eight after Conrad declared his everlasting love for his ex, just hours before she was due to walk down the aisle.

To add insult to injury, Jeremiah also read out a heartfelt letter from his late mother, praising Belly and Conrad's relationship.

The younger Fisher brother then confronted his soon-to-be wife about her feelings for Conrad, to which she confessed she still loved him. Jeremiah ultimately called off the wedding, sending Belly on her dream journey to France.

The Summer I Turned Pretty returns to Prime Video on Wednesday, September 3
