Every Year After is finally here and there’s a special cameo in the new series!
Carley Fortune, who penned the book “Every Summer After” that the Prime Video television show is based on, appears in an episode, with a special interaction with one of the stars.
Where to spot Carley Fortune in Every Year After
Carley‘s cameo in the series comes in the season one finale, and it was at the suggestion of of series co-creator and showrunner Amy B Harris.
“Amy and I were watching them film, and it was a scene at Sue’s celebration of life, after the funeral,” Carley shared with People. “Everybody’s at the Tavern gathered around, and Amy turned to me, and she was like, ‘You should be in there.’”
In the scene, you can catch Carley dancing with star Sadie Soverall, who plays Percy Fraser.
“That was pretty cool,” the author said of the moment. “I loved how the cameo played out with Sadie and I dancing, which was a move of Sadie‘s making… it was really, really special.”
Carley talks being on set and seeing Barry’s Bay come to life
While Barry’s Bay is a real place in Ontario, Canada, the show was filmed on Bowen Island in Vancouver, British Columbia.
“The first day I went to the set and seeing Barry’s Bay, their Barry’s Bay, was a pretty big deal for me, because I grew up in [the real] Barry’s Bay,” Carley dished. “It’s a setting of the book, seeing Steadmans, which is a real store of Barry’s Bay, there on set. The Tavern — that was very, very special.”
What Carley Fortune thinks of the TV adaptation of her book
“I think it does exactly what an adaptation of a book that has a fan base should do, which is that it honors the story,” Carley told People. “It has the heart and soul of the book. It feels like the book.”
“Because you’re not just in Percy’s head, you get to see Sam and Charlie at different points. You just get so much more access to the world and the characters,” she continued. “That was so fun for me to watch, as a viewer. I really just love it.”
