TSITP tonight: exact episode release time on Prime Video

The Summer I Turned Pretty is one of those Prime Video shows that “arrives tomorrow” but actually lands the evening before in the U.S. Amazon commonly times global drops around midnight GMT, which translates to an early evening release stateside. In practice, new TSITP episodes usually appear around 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT the night before the calendar date printed on the show page. When the U.S. is off daylight time, you may see a 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT release; during daylight time, 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT is the safe bet.

There’s always a small propagation window. Prime pushes new files and metadata across a global CDN, and different devices cache content differently. That’s why you’ll see fans on social media say it’s “out for me” while others still see the old episode. If it isn’t visible right on the hour, force-quit the app, relaunch, and search the series title directly instead of relying on the home carousel. Clearing “Continue Watching” can also surface the new entry sooner.

Expect a weekly cadence after any premiere bundle. Prime often launches buzzy series with two or three episodes on night one and then shifts to one episode per week. Runtime generally sits in the 45–55 minute range, with subtitles and dubs appearing within minutes of the drop. On rare occasions, captions lag by five to ten minutes while regional subtitle packs finish indexing—annoying, but normal.

What about Central and Mountain time? The window aligns with the East/West anchors. Central lands roughly 7 PM, Mountain about 6 PM, again with small variances based on the GMT anchor and whether the U.S. is on daylight time. If you’re traveling, remember that Prime pegs availability to your account region, not only your IP. If you’re in a hotel on flaky Wi-Fi, the home row may lag; pull to refresh inside the series page for the fastest update.

A few quick checks if you don’t see it:

• Open the series page, not just the episode rail on Home.
• Toggle to another profile and back; that refreshes watch state.
• On Fire TV, hold the Home button → Apps → Prime Video → More → Force stop, then relaunch.
• On iOS/Android, force-quit the app and reopen; on web, hard-refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R).

Bottom line: treat TSITP as an evening event. Aim for 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT, give it a few minutes if the app lags, and you’ll be watching well before midnight. If Amazon ever shifts to a true “12:00 AM local” schedule, expect the app to label the time explicitly; otherwise, the midnight-GMT pattern is what drives these early U.S. drops.

Editor’s take: The early-evening landing is a quiet win for Prime. It turns “Friday” shows into Thursday-night viewing without the confusion of moving the official date. For fans, it’s appointment TV without staying up late.
