Prime Video Has a New #1 Show That’s Taken Over the World & Continues a Major Streaming Trend

by

Summer isn’t just for vacations anymore—it’s become a fantastic time for TV, especially on streaming services. Last year, shows like The Gilded Age, Sirens, and We Were Liars were huge hits, and this year looks promising too, particularly for Prime Video. They’ve just released a new series that’s quickly becoming popular worldwide, continuing a trend of streaming successes.

Prime Video’s new series, Every Year After, which premiered on June 10th, is quickly becoming a hit. Based on Carley Fortune’s novel Every Summer After, the show centers around Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett), two childhood friends whose teenage relationship ended because of a painful secret. When Percy returns home for a funeral after many years, they reconnect, but navigating their feelings proves to be much more difficult than just trying again. Just a week since its release, Every Year After is now the most-watched show on Prime Video worldwide, according to Flix Patrol.

Every Year After Continues a Huge Entertainment Trend (And It’s Great For Readers)

Currently, Every Year After is the most popular series, but Off Campus is a close second. Spider-Noir, The Boys, and Clarkson’s Farm complete the top five. This success, particularly with both Every Year After and Off Campus performing well, highlights a growing trend: Prime Video is finding great success by turning romance novels into TV shows.

In 2022, the TV series The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on the popular book by Jenny Han, started a trend for Prime Video: adapting beloved romance novels for the screen. The show was a huge hit, leading to three seasons and a planned movie. Prime Video continued this success with Off Campus and Every Year After, proving that romance novels translate well to television. Other streaming services are now doing the same, with HBO Max’s Heated Rivalry and the upcoming Netflix series Icebreaker.

Prime Video hasn‘t just found success adapting romance novels for television. The series We Were Liars, based on E. Lockhart’s popular psychological thriller, has also resonated with viewers. It premiered last June and has already been picked up for a second season, though a release date hasn’t been announced yet.
