Every Year After Season 2 Confirmed: Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett’s Prime Video Romance Returns to Barry’s Bay

Prime Video is officially heading back to Barry’s Bay. Every Year After has been renewed for Season 2, less than three weeks after Season 1 debuted on June 10, 2026. The renewal was announced during Prime Video’s Obsessed Fest fan event, giving the streamer another YA romance continuation after the strong launch of the Carley Fortune adaptation.

The series stars Sadie Soverall as Percy Fraser and Matt Cornett as Sam Florek, the central couple whose decades-spanning love story anchored the first season. Season 1 was adapted from Fortune’s 2022 novel Every Summer After and followed Percy’s return to Barry’s Bay, where she reunited with Sam and his brother Charlie after years of emotional distance.

Every Year After Season 2 Is Official

The renewal is no longer just speculation. TVLine reported that Prime Video confirmed Season 2 on June 27, with Amazon MGM Studios’ head of global television Peter Friedlander praising the audience reaction in a statement. He said the response to the show had been “truly extraordinary” and highlighted the global connection viewers formed with Barry’s Bay and Carley Fortune’s storytelling.

According to that same announcement, Season 2 will be based on Carley Fortune’s second Barry’s Bay novel, One Golden Summer. Prime Video also said the show will continue to explore “fan-favorite stories and characters from the first season,” even though the second book shifts its central focus. Amy B. Harris will return as showrunner.

What Season 2 Means for Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett

Because Prime Video said the next chapter will continue to explore favorite characters from the first season, the expectation is that Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett remain key parts of the series going forward, even as the source material broadens the story world. Season 1 positioned Percy and Sam as the emotional core of the adaptation, and the platform’s wording suggests that relationship will remain important in Season 2.

The first season premiered as an eight-episode binge release on Prime Video and quickly became one of the service’s most-watched titles. Amazon’s own global rankings placed Every Year After among the Top 10 Prime Original series worldwide for the week of June 15–21, 2026.

Why the Quick Renewal Matters

The speed of the pickup is notable. Prime Video renewed the show less than three weeks after release, a sign that the platform was encouraged by the title’s early audience response and YA appeal. The series was already one of Prime Video’s major June launches, and the fast turnaround suggests confidence in the Barry’s Bay universe as an ongoing franchise rather than a one-season adaptation.

It also helps that the series arrives from a known bestseller. Fortune’s novels already had a built-in readership, and Prime’s adaptation strategy has increasingly leaned on romance properties with passionate fandoms. Every Year After now joins that expanding lineup as a confirmed returning title.

Is There a Release Date for Season 2?

As of now, Prime Video has not announced a release date for Every Year After Season 2. The renewal announcement confirmed the pickup and the creative direction, but not a production schedule or premiere window. That means fans know the show is coming back — but not yet when they’ll see Percy, Sam, and the rest of Barry’s Bay again.

Renewal Snapshot

For Prime Video, renewing Every Year After so quickly is a clear vote of confidence. For viewers, it means Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett’s romantic drama is not over yet. And for fans of Carley Fortune’s world, it confirms that Barry’s Bay still has more stories to tell.
