Prime Video acted swiftly by renewing its recent romantic TV show for a second season. The streaming service greenlit another season of its hit drama just weeks after its launch. Fans who were concerned about cancellation can now anticipate a release date instead.
Every Year After renewed for Season 2 with plot details
Prime Video has renewed Every Year After for Season 2, less than three weeks after Season 1 was released as a binge-watch on June 10. This romantic drama, based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel Every Summer After, follows Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett) — childhood friends whose love story unravels after a mysterious incident, only to reunite a decade later when Percy returns to Barry’s Bay for the funeral of Sam and Charlie’s mother, Sue (Elisha Cuthbert).
Season 2 shifts the focus. Amazon confirms that the new season will adapt Fortune’s follow-up novel, One Golden Summer, centering on Sam’s older brother Charlie Florek (Michael Bradway), while also continuing storylines and characters that fans already cherish. The Season 1 finale dramatically set this up, with Charlie suffering a heart attack in his office while reminiscing about a formative summer at Barry’s Bay.
The returning cast includes Bradway, Soverall, Cornett, Aurora Perrineau, Abigail Cowen, and Joseph Chiu. Showrunner Amy B. Harris returns alongside executive producers Fortune, Lindsey Liberatore, Amy Rardin, John Stephens, and Grace Gilroy.
Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios, described the audience response to the show as “truly extraordinary.” “We’re excited to return to Barry’s Bay and bring audiences another deeply emotional and unforgettable chapter,” he added.
The source material carries significant weight. Every Summer After spent 22 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list, sold over 1.7 million copies, and garnered more than 81.4 million TikTok views under its book hashtag. Its sequel, One Golden Summer, followed suit with 20 weeks on the same list and nearly 1 million copies sold.
