What the show is about: plot, setting, and themes

Every Year After adapts Fortune’s contemporary romance novel into a multi-episode drama that tracks the ups and downs of a youth-to-adulthood love story. The narrative centers on Persephone “Percy” Fraser and Sam Florek, who grow from close friends into lovers during repeated summers in Barry Bay, a small lakeside community that shapes much of their lives.

The series explores memory, regret, and the long shadows cast by youthful choices. After a pivotal mistake and a secret drive a wedge between Percy and Sam, the story jumps forward to follow Percy as an adult returning to the town where their relationship began—forcing both characters to confront the past and the ways it shaped them.

From page to screen: the author’s and showrunner’s perspective

Every Year After is based on Carley Fortune’s novel Every Summer After, which enjoyed significant success on publication, spending multiple weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Fortune announced the television adaptation on social media in 2024, expressing excitement about seeing Percy and Sam’s relationship expanded for television and collaborating with Amazon Studios on the project.

Showrunner Amy B. Harris has signaled enthusiasm for continuing the story beyond the initial run. In interviews, she’s said she envisions the series extending past one season if given the opportunity, and that the book’s focus on summer moments is only the beginning of a character-driven drama that could explore the aftermaths and consequences across multiple timelines.
