Prime Video has officially renewed the romantic drama Every Year After for a second season, confirming that the story world of Barry’s Bay will return to screens. The announcement came June 27 during Obsessed Fest in Los Angeles, ending weeks of fan speculation and signaling more screen time for the series’ most beloved characters.
Season 2 will adapt Carley Fortune’s bestselling sequel, One Golden Summer, shifting the series’ focus to Charlie Florek as his own romantic journey becomes central. The novel’s plot follows photographer Alice, who returns to Barry’s Bay with her grandmother after years away. A familiar yellow speedboat — and Charlie himself — quickly turns a quiet summer into a complex emotional chapter.
Michael Barbieri returns to play Charlie Florek, joined again by Matt Cornett, Sadie Soverall, Abigail Cowen, Aurora Perrineau and Joseph Chiu. Showrunner Amy B. Harris is set to return to oversee the new season’s creative direction, reuniting much of the original production team and cast to maintain continuity with the first season’s tone and style.

Amazon MGM Studios emphasized the strong audience response to the series and to Carley Fortune’s source material, saying the show’s connection with viewers helped drive the renewal. Producers cited the global fan base and the emotional resonance of the characters as reasons to continue exploring Barry’s Bay and its unfolding relationships.
The second season is expected to expand on the interpersonal dynamics introduced earlier, deepening character arcs while preserving the coastal setting that defines the show’s atmosphere. Returning cast members will likely explore new conflicts and romantic developments as adapted scenes from One Golden Summer move from page to screen.
Exact release dates, episode counts and production timelines have not been announced. Filming schedules and streaming windows typically follow with further updates from Prime Video and the show’s creative team. For now, viewers can anticipate a season that places Charlie Florek’s love story at the heart of Barry’s Bay and promises additional emotional, character-driven storytelling.
