Watch if you're looking for romance without clichés and with real nostalgia. "Every Year After" is not a series about meeting in a bar and a happy ending; it's about how two people grow together and apart, and whether it's worth returning. Perfect for a summer evening when you want to smile and feel a little sad at the same time.
Premiering on Prime Video on June 10, 2026 — all 8 episodes at once. "Every Year After" is an American romantic drama based on the bestseller by Carly Fortune, "Every Summer After." The story unfolds in the fictional lakeside town of Barris Bay, Ontario. Percy Fraser, a 28-year-old obituary writer, returns to her hometown after a ten-year hiatus for the funeral of her ex-boyfriend Sam's mother. Six years of summer vacations (2011–2016) and one week in the present intertwine in a tale of first love that could have been the only one.
The tone is nostalgic, warm, with a touch of sadness. The series shifts between the past and the present, showing how teenage feelings evolve into adult regrets. Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett create a chemistry that keeps the viewer anticipating each memory.
Format — 8 episodes of ~45 minutes. Filming took place in Vancouver from June to September 2025. Showrunner — Amy B. Harris, writer — Leila Gerstein. The project was renewed for a second season in June 2026.
If you enjoyed "Normal People" or "The Summer We Were Happy," "Every Year After" operates on the same wavelength: slow, intimate romance where the focus is not on kisses but on the pauses between them. Fans of teenage dramas with time jumps will appreciate the structure, and those looking for a cozy summer story will find this one of the warmest projects on Prime Video in 2026.
