Amazon Prime has confirmed a second season of its addictive teen romance series 'Every Year After', adapted from Carley Fortune's BookTok sensation 'Every Summer After'. The show, which has been a permanent fixture in the platform's top 10 ranking since its release, will continue with a storyline based on Fortune's sequel 'One Golden Summer'.
Season 2 Focus Shifts to Charlie Florek
The sophomore season will center on Charlie Florek, played by Michael Bradway, whose love story was teased in the season one finale. The first season, consisting of eight episodes, followed Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett) as first loves whose romance ebbs and flows over six summers lakeside in Barry's Bay, Canada. Concurrently, the story picks up a decade later, with Percy working as an obituary writer and returning to Barry's Bay for a memorial service, where she avoids her ex Sam, now a doctor.
