The Summer That Changed My Life had several adaptation attempts before Amazon Prime Video bought the rights to the trilogy.
The Summer That Changed My Life (2022) comes to the Amazon Prime Video this Friday, the 17th. However, this was not the first attempt to adapt the trilogy of Jenny Hanalso author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. In an interview with peoplethe show’s writer and producer, explained why the production took so long to launch.
“It has had an interest over the years,” he said. “But I always said no and now I know it was because I really wanted to be able to do it myself – and do it the way I envisioned it.” Lions Gate Entertainment purchased the rights to the books by Han to make a TV series in 2013, but did not go ahead with the project. In 2021 alone, the Prime Video confirmed the production of the adaptation for streaming.
After being executive producer of the second and third To All the Boys at Netflix, Han stated that he learned a lot about the process of adapting a story for television and felt that, with these teachings, he could finally bring the story of the Summer That Changed My Life.
“I think writing for TV is more novelistic,” he said. “Being able to spend time with the characters and watch them grow in seven episodes, I think it’s an opportunity to get to know them a lot better.” Han also highlighted how television favors the writer, who “holds the story in his hands at all times.”
