On the heels of a massively successful launch for “Off Campus” last month, Amazon is set to debut “Every Year After,” its next big YA series, on June 10. Along with being another romance, this one has the added bonus of potentially filling that “The Summer I Turned Pretty”-shaped hole in YA fans’ hearts, since it’s the tale of a girl who goes to vacation in the same town every year and meets and becomes close with two brothers.

That comparison could definitely help to pull in more viewers — but is it something the team is worried will dominate the conversation? The short answer, per “Every Summer After” author Carley Fortune, is “No.”
