The Prime Video series “Every Year After,” adapted from Carley Fortune’s popular novel “Every Summer After,” has been greenlit for a second season. The show, which features Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett in leading roles and is executive produced by Carley Fortune, premiered this summer.
The storyline of “Every Summer After” revolves around Percy and Sam, childhood friends whose bond was broken by a significant event, only to be reunited years later at a funeral, leading to a complex love story over a weekend spanning six years.
The upcoming season of “Every Year After” will draw inspiration from the second book in the series, “One Golden Summer,” set in Barry’s Bay, Ontario. The narrative focuses on Charlie, Sam’s brother, as he embarks on a romantic journey with Alice, a photographer seeking solace at her childhood cottage but finding unexpected love and nostalgia when Charlie resurfaces.
Peter Friendlander, Prime Video’s head of global TV, praised the positive reception of “Every Year After,” highlighting the broad appeal of Carley Fortune’s storytelling and the strong connection viewers have developed with the Barry’s Bay setting.
Carley Fortune, a renowned author and journalist based in Toronto, has a remarkable portfolio including titles like “Meet Me at the Lake,” “Every Summer After,” “One Golden Summer,” “This Summer Will Be Different,” and “Our Perfect Storm.” “Meet Me at the Lake” gained attention as a finalist on Canada Reads in 2024, championed by fashion influencer Mirian Njoh, marking the first romance novel to feature on the program.
“Every Year After” is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
