Sean Kaufman takes on his first series regular role in the new Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty!

The actor can be seen in the new show as Steven Conklin, the brother to Lola Tung‘s Belly.

The Summer I Turned Pretty is of course an adaptation from Jenny Han‘s book of the same name. She’s also a writer, executive producer and co-showrunner on the series.

A coming-of-age story about first love, first heartbreak, and the magic of that one perfect summer, The Summer I Turned Pretty is a multigenerational drama that hinges on a love triangle between one girl (Tung) and two brothers (Gavin Casalegno & Christopher Briney), the ever-evolving relationship between mothers and their children, and the enduring power of strong female friendship.
