When The Summer I Turned Pretty wrapped its emotional finale, Prime Video left fans with closure, and a quiet void. Belly and Conrad’s ending delivered long-awaited resolution, but the absence of a release date for the upcoming film adaptation has kept viewers searching for something new to fill that familiar ache.
Now, Prime Video appears to have found its answer. Just one week after its debut, Tell Me Softly has surged to the top of the streamer’s global charts, positioning itself as the next must-watch romantic drama.
Tell Me Softly Climbs to Number One Worldwide
According to FlixPatrol, Tell Me Softly is currently the most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide. Released on December 12, the film wasted little time capturing audiences across multiple regions.
The Prime Video original is now ranking at number one in 34 countries, including Brazil, France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain. Even in territories where it has not claimed the top spot, the film remains a dominant presence, landing at number two in countries such as Australia, Ireland, and the United Arab Emirates.
In the United Kingdom, the film sits at number six on the Prime Video movie chart. In the United States, where competition is particularly fierce, Tell Me Softly still breaks into the Top Ten, currently holding the number nine position.
Why Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty Are Flocking to It
The comparison between the two stories feels inevitable. Like Belly Conklin, Tell Me Softly protagonist Kamila Hamilton finds herself caught between two brothers, Thiago and Taylor Di Bianco, who suddenly re-enter her life after seven years apart.
One brother represents her first love; the other, her childhood best friend. The emotional geometry mirrors the Conrad and Jeremiah dynamic that defined The Summer I Turned Pretty. Adding to the familiarity, the trio grew up as neighbors, their shared past shaping the tension that now resurfaces in adulthood.
These parallels are not accidental. Both stories lean heavily on nostalgia, unresolved feelings, and the pull of first love, ingredients that have proven irresistible to romance audiences.
A Literary Franchise With Momentum
Like its Prime Video predecessor, Tell Me Softly is rooted in a popular book series. The film adapts the first novel in Mercedes Ron’s Tell Me trilogy, continuing the streamer’s successful trend of transforming romance novels into binge-worthy screen hits.
Momentum is already building behind the franchise. A sequel, Tell Me in Secret, has officially been confirmed to be in development. Given the film’s rapid rise on the global charts, Prime Video appears to be investing early in what could become its next long-running romantic saga.
Final Thoughts
With Tell Me Softly, Prime Video has not simply released another romantic drama. It has delivered a carefully positioned successor to one of its most beloved series, capturing the same emotional beats while carving out a story of its own.
As fans wait for The Summer I Turned Pretty movie to finally arrive, Tell Me Softly is already proving that the appetite for sweeping, bittersweet romance remains as strong as ever.
