Get ready to return to Barry’s Bay: “Every Year After” has been renewed for a second season at Amazon‘s Prime Video less than a month after its debut.
Based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel “Every Summer After,” the first season of the drama tells the friends-to-lovers-to-second-chance-romance story of Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett).
The two reunite a decade after their breakup (a mysterious incident Percy blames herself for) when Percy returns to the lake town of Barry’s Bay (where Sam and his brother Charlie, played by Michael Bradway, grew up, and where Percy spent her childhood summers) following the passing of Sam and Charlie’s mother, Sue (Elisha Cuthbert).
In Season 2, Amazon confirms “Every Year After” will shift the focus to Charlie and adapt Fortune’s sequel book, “One Golden Summer,” while “continuing to explore the fan favorite stories and characters from the first season.”
Showrunner Amy B. Harris will continue in her role for Season 2 alongside executive producers including Fortune, Lindsey Liberatore, Amy Rardin, John Stephens and Grace Gilroy.
The “Every Year After” Season 2 includes Bradway, Soverall, Cornett, Aurora Perrineau (“KAOS,” “Westworld”), Abigail Cowen (“Fate: The Winx Saga”) and Joseph Chiu (“Fear Street: Prom Queen, Motorheads”).
“The response to ‘Every Year After’ has been truly extraordinary, underscoring the universal appeal of Carley Fortune’s storytelling and the deep connection audiences have formed with the world of Barry’s Bay,” Amazon MGM Studios head of global television Peter Friedlander said. “We’re incredibly grateful to Carley, Amy B. Harris, our exceptional cast and creative team, and the passionate fans who have embraced this series around the globe. We’re excited to return to Barry’s Bay and bring audiences another deeply emotional and unforgettable chapter.”
