The latest romance novel getting an on-screen adaptation is Every Summer After by Carley Fortune.
Every Summer After—which spent 14 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list after its release in May 2022—is officially back on the charts following news that Percy and Sam’s nostalgic love story is getting the Amazon treatment. On July 18, Prime Video announced their upcoming television series based on the nostalgic beach read—and if you’re a friends-to-lovers girlie, this one is definitely for you.
Thankfully, Prime Video didn’t keep BookTok waiting for updates, immediately announcing seven cast members, including our main duo. You’ll probably recognize leading man Matt Cornett from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, while Amazon tapped Saltburn’s Sadie Soverall to play Percy.
“I couldn’t be more excited about this fabulous cast! This is an enormously talented group of actors, whose auditions made me laugh, swoon and cry,” Fortune said in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. “I know they’ll have fans of Every Summer After falling in love with their favorite characters all over again.”
Here’s everything else we know about Every Summer After.
