When The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 returned, the series kicked off with the devastating reveal that Susannah (Rachel Blanchard) had died, and now the people she left behind are struggling to cope with the grief of her loss. Season 2 focuses on Belly (Lola Tung) as she returns to Cousins Beach with her brother in order to help save the Fisher house before it can be sold off by Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah's (Gavin Casalegno) aunt, Julia (Kyra Sedgewick). The season brings in new characters while also linking the old characters back together at the beach house for another unforgettable summer.
We spoke with Rachel Blanchard, Kyra Sedgewick, and Jackie Chung about how their characters have handled such a momentous shift. Although Susannah is dead, she still has a strong presence within the show and her relationship with her best friend Laurel (Chung) and her sister Julia couldn't be more different. We discussed this complex relationship dynamic and the push and pull between the two women in the wake of Susannah's death. We also discussed if there was ever a world where the women could have mended bridges with each other, and who the actors think Belly should end up with between the two Fisher boys.
This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
