Netflix’s new Canadian romance series This Summer Will be Different will adapt Carley Fortune’s best-selling novel about a young woman’s idyllic summers spent at the sandy beaches and red cliffs of Prince Edward Island.
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 20s. 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 PEI. — Carley Fortune to Tudum.
