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).

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”).
