Every Year After Showrunner Lays Out Vision for Five-Season Run on Prime Video

The adaptation of Carley Fortune's novel is set to launch this week, and its creative leadership is already mapping out the long-term trajectory.

Prime Video hasn't formally renewed the series yet, but showrunner Amy B Harris has a clear roadmap in mind. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly ahead of the June 10 premiere, Harris outlined her ambitions for the show's lifespan.

"I really see this as a series, and it's why we built it the way we did so that we can come back and explore a lot more romance," Harris explained. She envisions the project running for five seasons total.

The showrunner pointed to existing material as a foundation for future installments. "Obviously, there's another book that's connected to Barry's Bay that I think will be a very exciting blueprint for us for a potential season 2," she noted, referencing "One Golden Summer," a companion novel that focuses on Sam's brother Charlie as he navigates his own romantic journey.

However, Harris emphasized the team isn't bound by the books alone. The show features six central characters, with plans to introduce additional roles as the seasons progress. "We have lots more to say both about Percy and Sam's love story, but also about these other characters who hopefully people will come to love as much as they do Percy and Sam," she said.

The strategy mirrors recent precedent in literary adaptations. Series like Off Campus and Heated Rivalry have successfully shifted focus to different source material for their second seasons, providing a potential template for Every Year After's expansion.

The series launches on Prime Video Wednesday, June 10.
