The summer UNC turned pretty: Community reacts to seeing campus on screen
Posted Aug 27, 2025
Students have been looking forward to seeing the campus they know and love represented on screen in season three of the Prime Video original show, “The Summer I Turned Pretty," which began airing July 16. UNC alumna Jenny Han — author of the books inspiring the hit series — was drawn to the campus for filming because of UNC's classic college town charm.
