Production is currently underway for a new ten-part series based on Carley Fortune's popular novel, 'This Summer Will Be Different.' Filming is taking place across Prince Edward Island and Toronto, with Sphere Media serving as the Canadian production company.
The series centers on a simmering, sun-soaked romance set over multiple summers on Prince Edward Island. It follows Lucy as she navigates her early twenties and falls for her best friend's brother, a forbidden love.
Netflix's Directors, Content in Canada, expressed excitement about bringing the novel to the screen, praising the creative team and Sphere Media. The author, Carley Fortune, shared her inspiration, drawing parallels between the story's foundation and her own experiences on Prince Edward Island.
This project is part of Netflix's expanding slate of Canadian originals. The streamer has noted a substantial increase in domestic viewing in Canada, with nearly 65% of subscribers engaging with Canadian content last year.
