Prime Video has released the first trailer for Every Year After, its upcoming summer romance series based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel Every Summer After.
The eight-episode Amazon Original series will premiere on 10 June, with all episodes dropping at once on Prime Video. And yes, for anyone who has already cried over this book, packed an imaginary lake bag and emotionally relocated to Barry’s Bay, we are absolutely seated.
Set across six years and one week, Every Year After follows Percy and Sam, childhood best friends whose summers together grow into a complicated love story shaped by first love, heartbreak, distance and the choices that stay with them long after the season ends.
Sadie Soverall stars as Percy, with Matt Cornett playing Sam. The trailer sees Percy return to Barry’s Bay, where old feelings quickly rise back to the surface as she reunites with Sam and Charlie Florek. Between lake days, unresolved tension and the specific ache only a nostalgic summer romance can deliver, the series looks set to lean fully into the pull of finding your way back to someone who never really left.
“Love can be hard to find, so if you’re lucky enough to find your person, never let go.”
The trailer is already leaning into the kind of lines that romance readers will absolutely not be normal about. “You came home,” Sam tells Percy early on, before later admitting: “When I’m with her, I don’t think.” Percy is also heard saying: “Love can be hard to find, so if you’re lucky enough to find your person, never let go.”
Cries. Immediately.
The cast also includes Aurora Perrineau, Abigail Cowen, Michael Bradway, Joseph Chiu and Elisha Cuthbert. Amy B. Harris serves as showrunner and executive producer, with Fortune also executive producing alongside Lindsey Liberatore, Amy Rardin, John Stephens and Grace Gilroy.
Fortune’s Every Summer After became a major BookTok-era romance hit after its 2022 release, selling more than one million copies and spending 16 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list. The series continues Prime Video’s growing investment in book-to-screen romance, following a wave of adaptations aimed directly at readers who know exactly how dangerous a childhood-best-friends-to-lovers story can be.
For CultureCues, this is peak summer viewing: lake town yearning, second-chance romance, unresolved history and the kind of trailer that makes you want to cancel your plans and move to Barry’s Bay immediately.
Every Year After premieres on Prime Video on 10 June.
