Prime Video renews ‘Every Year After’ for a second season, adapting Carley Fortune’s sequel ‘One Golden Summer’
Prime Video has greenlit Season 2 of its television adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel ‘Every Summer After,’ titled ‘Every Year After’ in show form, with the new season based on Fortune’s sequel ‘One Golden Summer.’ The announcement came at Prime Video’s Obsessed Fest on Saturday.
Prime Video has renewed its series adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling romance novel Every Summer After, titled Every Year After for the screen, for a second season that will draw from Fortune’s sequel One Golden Summer, Deadline reported. The renewal extends the streamer’s television run that takes viewers back to the fictional setting of Barry’s Bay.
The company’s announcement was made at Prime Video’s Obsessed Fest on Saturday. Prime Video framed the decision as a continuation of the television adaptation after it performed well enough to earn another season order, with the second installment expected to follow the next phase of the source material.
In show form, Every Year After is based on Fortune’s original book, Every Summer After, which serves as the foundation for the series’ first season. Deadline said the second season will be inspired by One Golden Summer, expanding the adaptation to incorporate story elements from the sequel.
The renewal also indicates Prime Video’s ongoing investment in book-to-series projects built around popular contemporary authors. Fortune’s original Every Summer After has been described by Deadline as a best-seller, and the sequel’s inclusion suggests the streamer intends to keep aligning the series’ narrative arcs with Fortune’s published storyline.
Beyond the creative implications, the Season 2 order means additional production planning for cast and crew tied to Every Year After, as well as further development of the series’ release schedule within Prime Video’s programming slate. Details such as when filming will begin or when Season 2 will premiere were not included in the report summarized for this item.
The announcement comes as Prime Video continues to use branded fan events such as Obsessed Fest to reveal major slate decisions tied to its scripted programming. For viewers, the new season is likely to offer a follow-on chapter that reflects the sequel material rather than ending the story at the conclusion of the first adaptation.
Deadline’s report indicates Prime Video has formally moved to develop Season 2, but it did not provide production dates, episode counts, or additional credits in the summary associated with the item. Prime Video and the series team are expected to provide further specifics as development advances.
