This Summer Will Be Different has cast its Lucy.
Sophie Nélisse, who starred in Heated Rivalry and Yellowjackets has been cast in the adaptation of the Carley Fortune novel. The adaptation will be filmed on Prince Edward Island and in Toronto later this summer.
This Summer Will Be Different is a romance that spans multiple summers on Prince Edward Island. Lucy was never supposed to fall for her best friend’s brother, but he is her first real love. She’s navigating her 20’s, and we all know that is not an easy time. Especially when you are stuck between your best friend and her brother.
Awkward.
Netflix didn’t have Lucy’s description, so everything that we’re going by, we’re going by the book.
This Summer Will Be Different will consist of 10 episodes on Netflix. The logline for the series, “based on the beloved novel by Carley Fortune, is a simmering, sun-soaked romance set across multiple summers on Prince Edward Island about Lucy, a young woman navigating her 20s and her first real love with her best friend’s brother, the one person she was never supposed to fall for.”
Dane Clark (Suze, One More Time) and Linsey Stewart (Workin’ Moms, North of North) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. It has sold more than four million copies and has been translated into thirty languages.
In addition to Clark and Stewart, other executive producers will be Carley Fortune, Jennifer Kawaja (Sort Of, Wayward) and Elise Cousineau (Cardinal, Small Achievable Goals), and Samantha Levine for Sphere Media.
With how much we loved this book, we can’t wait to see this one come to life.
