TORONTO, June 19, 2026 — Canadian romance novelist Carley Fortune's meteoric rise continues as her debut novel Every Summer After receives the streaming treatment with Every Year After, a Prime Video series that premiered June 10, 2026, bringing her beloved story of love, loss, and second chances to screens across North America.

A Canadian Love Story Comes Home

Set in a picturesque Canadian lake town, Every Year After tells the sweeping, emotionally complex love story between childhood best friends Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett). The series follows their unexpected reunion after years apart, forcing them to confront the choices and mistakes that drove them apart and the lingering feelings that never fully faded.

Carley Fortune has become one of the hottest romance writers in the game, and Every Year After proves her stories translate beautifully to screen.

Fortune, whose novels have dominated bestseller lists and BookTok alike, represents a new generation of Canadian authors achieving international success. The adaptation of her work signals Amazon's recognition of both her commercial appeal and the universal resonance of her distinctly Canadian storytelling.

Canadian Talent Takes Center Stage

The series showcases emerging Canadian and international talent, with Sadie Soverall bringing depth and vulnerability to Percy, a character grappling with the weight of past decisions. Matt Cornett, known for his work in Disney's High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, delivers a nuanced performance as Sam, the man who never stopped loving the girl who got away.

The production filmed extensively in Ontario, capturing the quintessential Canadian cottage country aesthetic that features prominently in Fortune's novels. The lake town setting becomes almost a character itself, with its small-town dynamics, summer tourism economy, and the particular melancholy of places that come alive for only a few months each year.

From Page to Screen: A Romance Reimagined

The series promises to deliver the emotional complexity that made Fortune's novel a phenomenon. Rather than a straightforward romance, Every Year After explores themes of regret, forgiveness, and the ways our past selves can haunt our present. The narrative structure, which moves between past and present, allows viewers to understand both the idyllic summer romance and the devastating choices that ended it.

For Canadian viewers, the series represents a point of pride: a homegrown author's work receiving the streaming adaptation treatment typically reserved for American bestsellers. The production's commitment to filming in Canada and showcasing Canadian landscapes reinforces the story's authentic sense of place.

As romance continues to dominate streaming platforms globally, Every Year After stands out by offering something genuinely heartfelt and geographically specific. It's a love letter to Canadian summers, to second chances, and to the enduring power of Carley Fortune's storytelling—a storytelling that has found its perfect visual expression in this Prime Video adaptation.
