Calling all romance fans! Prime Video’s upcoming eight-part series, Every Year After, hits TV screens this June – and it’s shaping up to be a must-watch for anyone who loves a messy love story.
The series, which comes from Sex and the City producer Amy B. Harris, is based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel Every Summer After. It follows the romance between Percy and Sam over six years and one week in the idyllic lake town of Barry’s Bay.

What is Every Year After about?
The series is billed as a “romantic, nostalgic story of first loves and the people and choices that mark us forever” and tells the story of Percy (Sadie Soverall) and Sam (Matt Cornett).
While the synopsis doesn’t give much away, the bestselling book, hailed as “breathtaking” by readers, follows Persephone ‘Percy’ Fraser as she returns to her childhood home after a decade. Upon her arrival, she reunites with her former love, Sam Florek, after years of estrangement.
