The Prime Video show “Every Year After,” adapted from Carley Fortune’s popular novel “Every Summer After,” has been greenlit for a second season. The series, 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 separated by a tragic incident, who reunite years later at a funeral, sparking a complex love story. The upcoming season of “Every Year After” will draw inspiration from Fortune’s book “One Golden Summer,” set in Barry’s Bay, Ontario.
In “One Golden Summer,” a character named Charlie, Sam’s brother, finally finds love. The narrative follows Alice, a photographer seeking a tranquil summer at her childhood retreat with her grandmother. However, her plans are disrupted when the charming and flirtatious Charlie reappears, leading Alice to question if this summer holds unexpected possibilities.
Peter Friendlander, Prime Video’s head of global TV, praised the overwhelming response to “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 Toronto-based journalist and author, has penned several successful books, including “Meet Me at the Lake,” “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 show.
“Every Year After” is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
