The countdown to the final episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is on, with new characters still making their debut in Jenny Han’s popular series. The most recent episode, now available on Prime Video, showcases Belly (Lola Tung) embarking on a fresh romance with Parisian Benito (Fernando Cattori) after her broken engagement with Jeremiah.
Their relationship blossoms during the holiday season, as Belly decides to stay in France instead of returning home for Christmas. Their connection culminates in a heartfelt New Year’s Eve kiss, signaling a more serious commitment by the end of episode 10.
Fernando Cattori, a Mexican actor and director, breathes life into the character of Benito. Known for his work behind the camera, Cattori recently earned a Latin Grammy nomination for directing the music video ‘Nacimos Llorando.’ Transitioning into acting, he appeared in Netflix’s Untamed Royals and Prime Video’s With You in the Future before landing his first English-speaking role in The Summer I Turned Pretty.
In a candid interview with Schön! Magazine, Cattori shared the challenges of portraying Benito, citing it as his most demanding role to date due to the language shift from Spanish to English. The final episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 airs next Wednesday on Prime Video.
