TORONTO – Netflix has ordered a new series based on Canadian author Carley Fortune’s Prince Edward Island-set romance novel “This Summer Will Be Different.”
The book follows a Toronto woman on her annual visits to Prince Edward Island, where she reluctantly falls in love with her best friend’s brother.
The streamer says husband-and-wife duo Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart will be co-showrunners for the 10-episode series.
Netflix says the show will be shot on P.E.I. and in Toronto.
Fortune’s debut novel “Every Summer After” is currently being adapted to a series for Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, optioned her book “Meet Me at the Lake” with her production company Archewell for Netflix.
Netflix representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the status of that project.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 19, 2026.
