in time another 1 of Carley Fortune's bestselling latinian language novels is getting an on-screen adaption, Netflix Canada proclaimed on Thursday.
Netflix Canada ordered a 10-episode series based on the Canadian author's third novel, This Summer Will Be Different.
In This Summer Will Be Different, Lucy is vacationing one summer on Prince Edward Island, and meets Felix in an electric, chemistry-filled night.
Only one problem: Felix is her best friend Bridget's younger brother. On her annual return trips to P.E.I., Lucy vows to avoid Felix and his bed — easier said than done.
When Bridget rushes home to P.E.I. In crisis a week before her wedding, Lucy can only follow and remind herself to protect her heart, but wonders if she really wants to do that after all.
The television adaptation will film in Toronto and on P.E.I., true to the book's locales.
"I fell in love with Prince Edward Island first in the pages of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables and again when I visited with my best friend in my early twenties," said Fortune in a press statement.
"That vacation, the beauty of the island, the warmth of its people, and the friendships that sustain us — are the foundation of This Summer Will Be Different. I’m thrilled to bring this sweeping love story to the screen with Netflix and to transport audiences to the glittering shores and windswept beaches of P.E.I.”
Fortune is a Toronto-based writer and journalist. Her other novels are One Golden Summer, Every Summer After and Meet Me at the Lake. Her latest book, Our Perfect Storm, will be published on May 5.
Every Summer After is currently in production as the television series Every Year After on Amazon Prime Video.
Meet Me At the Lake was optioned for film in 2023 by Netflix and Archewell Productions, which is owned by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.
It was also the first romance title to be a contender for Canada Reads, championed in 2024 by Mirian Njoh.
