The Prime Video series “Every Year After,” adapted from Carley Fortune’s popular novel “Every Summer After,” has been greenlit for a second season. Starring Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett, the show, overseen by Carley Fortune, premiered this summer.
The storyline of “Every Summer After” revolves around Percy and Sam, childhood friends torn apart by a pivotal event, only to reunite years later at a funeral and discover 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,” the focus shifts to Sam’s brother, Charlie, a beloved character, who finally finds love. The narrative introduces Alice, a photographer seeking solace at her childhood cottage with her grandmother. However, her plans are disrupted when the charming and flirtatious Charlie unexpectedly enters her life, reigniting feelings of youth and the possibility of a transformative summer.
Prime Video’s head of global TV, Peter Friendlander, praised the overwhelming positive reception to “Every Year After,” highlighting the broad appeal of Carley Fortune’s storytelling and the deep connection viewers have developed with the Barry’s Bay universe.
Carley Fortune, a renowned author and journalist based in Toronto, has a rich portfolio that includes notable works 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 recognition as a finalist on Canada Reads in 2024, championed by fashion influencer Mirian Njoh, marking the first romance novel to feature on the show.
