The Prime Video series “Every Year After,” adapted from Carley Fortune’s popular romance novel “Every Summer After,” has been confirmed for a second season. The show, featuring Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett, and produced by Carley Fortune, premiered this summer.
The plot of “Every Summer After” revolves around Percy and Sam, childhood friends torn apart by a significant event, only to reunite years later at a funeral, sparking a complex love story. The upcoming season of “Every Year After” will draw inspiration from Fortune’s second book, “One Golden Summer,” set in Barry’s Bay, Ontario.
In “One Golden Summer,” the focus shifts to Sam’s brother, Charlie, who finally finds love. The narrative follows Alice, a photographer seeking solace at her childhood cabin with her grandmother, until Charlie, charismatic and persistent, unexpectedly enters her life. As their connection deepens, Alice begins to question if this summer holds more surprises than she anticipated.
Peter Friendlander, Prime Video’s head of global TV, praised the enthusiastic response to “Every Year After,” highlighting the broad appeal of Carley Fortune’s storytelling and the strong audience attachment to the Barry’s Bay universe.
Carley Fortune, a renowned author and journalist based in Toronto, has a diverse portfolio including “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” was 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.
