Prime Video Responds to Toxic Fandom After 'Jeremiah' Actor Faces Death Threats

Prime Video has issued a strong public warning to fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty after actor Gavin Casalegno, who plays Jeremiah Fisher, reportedly received death threats from viewers caught up in the show’s heated fandom wars. The streaming platform addressed the situation directly on social media, urging fans to “start acting normal” and reminding them that real people are behind the fictional characters they love.

The show, based on Jenny Han’s best-selling novels, has developed a fiercely divided fan base especially over the central love triangle involving characters Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah. With the recent season stirring up intense reactions online, some fans have crossed a line, directing hateful and threatening messages to Casalegno over plot developments and character choices.

In their post, Prime Video emphasized the importance of respectful engagement and condemned harassment in all forms. “It's a show. It’s fiction. There is no excuse for sending threats to our cast,” the message read. “If you can’t engage in fandom without targeting real people, step away. This is not what being a fan is about.”

Casalegno has not commented publicly on the threats but has continued to engage with fans in a positive manner on his platforms. Supporters have since rallied around the actor with messages of love and encouragement, using hashtags like #TeamJeremiah and #ProtectGavinCasalegno.

As The Summer I Turned Pretty continues to gain popularity, the situation serves as a crucial reminder that fandom should remain a space of celebration not toxicity.
