Netflix to adapt Carley Fortune's 'This Summer Will Be Different' into series

On March 19, 2026, Netflix Canada ordered a 10-episode series adaptation of Carley Fortune's This Summer Will Be Different, which will stream globally.
Facing rising domestic viewership, Netflix has been increasing Canadian originals, linked to nearly 65% of subscribers watching Canadian content last year.
The creative team includes Dane Clark, co-showrunner, Linsey Stewart, co-showrunner, and executive producers Fortune, Jennifer Kawaja, Elise Cousineau, with Sphere Media attached, set to produce the series.
Shooting is planned on Prince Edward Island and in Toronto, keeping the adaptation true to the book's locales, but casting and production and release dates are not yet announced.
The plot follows Lucy, whose repeated summer visits to Prince Edward Island lead her to fall for Felix, her best friend Bridget's brother, in a 'simmering, sun-soaked romance', producers said.
