- Prime Video set a June 10 premiere for "Every Year After," its adaptation of Carley Fortune's novel "Every Summer After," with all episodes dropping that day; the series was ordered in late July 2024 and the official trailer arrived May 12.
- Sadie Soverall (Saltburn) and Matt Cornett (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) lead as Percy and Sam, joined by Aurora Perrineau, Abigail Cowen, Michael Bradway, Joseph Chiu, and Elisha Cuthbert, who recurs as Sam's mother Sue Florek.
- Amy B. Harris replaced original showrunner Leila Gerstein, now serving as showrunner and executive producer alongside Fortune and fellow EPs Lindsey Liberatore, Amy Rardin, John Stephens, and Grace Gilroy.
- The series spans six years in the lakeside town of Barry's Bay, following Percy and Sam's relationship in a story pitched as "what if your first love was your soulmate."
- "This Summer Will Be Different" — Fortune's 2024 novel — is simultaneously being adapted as a series at Netflix, and her 2025 release "One Golden Summer" tells the love story of Sam's brother Charlie in the same Barry's Bay setting.
Why it matters: Fortune's interconnected Barry's Bay novels are now being adapted across two competing streamers at once, with Prime Video's "Every Year After" premiering June 10 and Netflix developing "This Summer Will Be Different" — while "One Golden Summer" (2025) provides ready-made spinoff fuel centered on Charlie Florek, giving either platform a built-in franchise extension if the lead adaptation clicks.
