Prime Video Renews 'Every Year After' for Season 2, Adapting 'One Golden Summer'

Q: With Season 2 focusing on a new romance, will the show's original star couple be sidelined?

No. Percy and Sam are expected to remain important in Season 2, but they will no longer be the central romance. Prime Video’s second season will pivot to Charlie Florek’s story, adapting Carley Fortune’s sequel *One Golden Summer* and introducing Alice Everly as his main love interest. That means the narrative spotlight shifts away from the original couple, Percy Fraser and Sam Florek, who drove Season 1. But the available reporting indicates they are not being pushed aside entirely. Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett are expected to return, and Amazon has said the new season will continue exploring fan-favorite characters from the first season. Showrunner Amy B. Harris has also said there is still “lots more to say” about Percy and Sam, stressing that their apparent happy ending was only the beginning and that their relationship still has unresolved issues to work through. So the practical answer is that Percy and Sam will be less front-and-center, not absent. Season 2 appears designed as an ensemble continuation: Charlie and Alice become the main romantic arc, while Percy and Sam’s relationship continues in a substantial supporting role alongside other expanding storylines in Barry’s Bay.

Prime Video ordered a second season of "Every Year After" on Saturday, extending its Carley Fortune adaptation after what Amazon MGM called an extraordinary audience response.
Season 2 will adapt Fortune’s "One Golden Summer," shifting the story to Charlie Florek’s romance with Alice Everly after Season 1’s finale set up their meeting in Barry’s Bay.
Michael Bradway is expected to remain central as Charlie, while Amy B. Harris returns as showrunner and executive producer alongside Fortune and other Season 1 producers.
The renewal keeps Prime Video in business with Fortune’s Barry’s Bay world as other streamers also pursue her books, with Netflix developing "This Summer Will Be Different" and "Meet Me at the Lake."
