Sadie Soverall as Percy Fraser
Sadie Soverall plays Persephone “Percy” Fraser, the central character in Every Year After. Percy spent several formative summers in Barry’s Bay, where her friendship with Sam gradually became her first serious romance.
After staying away for a decade, Percy returns following the death of Sue Florek. Her arrival forces her to confront Sam, the Florek family and the painful decisions that changed their relationships.
Soverall is a British actress previously known for playing Beatrix in Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga. She also appeared in Emerald Fennell’s film Saltburn. Her portrayal of Percy requires her to balance the character’s adult regrets with memories of a more hopeful adolescence.
Matt Cornett as Sam Florek
Matt Cornett stars as Sam Florek, Percy’s childhood friend and first love. In the present-day storyline, Sam is a doctor coping with his mother’s death when Percy unexpectedly returns to Barry’s Bay.
Although the two have spent years apart, their reunion makes it clear that their feelings—and their unresolved history—have not disappeared.
Cornett is best recognized as E.J. Caswell from Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. His other credits include Zombies 3 and Summer of 69.
Michael Bradway as Charlie Florek
Michael Bradway plays Charlie Florek, Sam’s older brother. Charlie shares his own complicated history with Percy and becomes an important link between her past and present.
It is Charlie who contacts Percy after Sue’s death, setting the events of the series in motion. His relationship with both Percy and Sam gives the show an additional layer of family tension.
Bradway previously appeared as Jack Damon in NBC’s Chicago Fire. He has also been seen in Marked Men and Safe House.
Abigail Cowen as Delilah Mason
Abigail Cowen portrays Delilah Mason, Percy’s childhood best friend. Delilah is closely connected to Percy’s memories of Barry’s Bay, but time and past secrets have complicated their friendship.
Cowen previously starred as Bloom Peters in Fate: The Winx Saga, where she worked alongside Sadie Soverall. She has also appeared in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Redeeming Love.
The actresses’ real-life familiarity helps give Percy and Delilah’s friendship a natural sense of shared history.
Aurora Perrineau as Chantal
Aurora Perrineau plays Chantal, Percy’s closest friend in her adult life. Chantal is a disciplined lawyer who accompanies Percy to Barry’s Bay and provides support as Percy faces the people she left behind.
Her time at the lake also draws her into the lives and relationships of the wider group.
Perrineau’s previous work includes Prodigal Son, Westworld, When They See Us, Truth or Dare and Jem and the Holograms.
Joseph Chiu as Jordie Lin
Joseph Chiu appears as Jordie Lin, Sam’s loyal best friend. Jordie grew up around Percy and the Florek family, meaning he knows more about their shared past than he initially admits.
Jordie’s connections with Sam, Chantal and Delilah place him near several of the show’s major personal conflicts.
Chiu previously appeared in Fear Street: Prom Queen. His other credits include Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and The Miniature Wife.
Elisha Cuthbert as Sue Florek
Elisha Cuthbert plays Sue Florek, the mother of Sam and Charlie. Sue also becomes an important maternal figure in Percy’s life during her teenage summers in Barry’s Bay.
Although Sue’s death brings Percy back to town, the character remains central to the story through the show’s earlier timeline.
Cuthbert is known for playing Kim Bauer in 24 and Alex Kerkovich in Happy Endings. Her film credits include The Girl Next Door, House of Wax and The Quiet. She also starred as Abby Phillips in Netflix’s The Ranch.
Who Plays Young Percy and Young Sam?
Because Every Year After moves between different periods, younger actors portray Percy, Sam and Charlie during their childhood years.
Juliette Hawk plays young Percy Fraser, while Blue Clarke portrays young Sam Florek. Carson MacCormac appears as young Charlie Florek.
Their performances establish the friendships, family relationships and early romantic moments that shape the characters as adults. The alternating timelines allow viewers to understand not only what happened between Percy and Sam, but why the memories of Barry’s Bay remain so powerful.

What Is Every Year After About?
Based on Carley Fortune’s 2022 novel Every Summer After, the series tells a second-chance love story across two timelines.
The earlier storyline follows Percy and Sam during six summers at neighboring lake houses. The present-day storyline unfolds over one emotionally charged week after Percy returns to Barry’s Bay.
While romance is at the center of the series, the story also explores friendship, grief, family loyalty and the lasting consequences of choices made while growing up. Amazon describes it as a nostalgic story about first love and the people who leave permanent marks on our lives.
Will the Cast Return for Every Year After Season 2?
Prime Video renewed Every Year After for a second season in June 2026. The new season is expected to draw inspiration from Carley Fortune’s follow-up Barry’s Bay novel, One Golden Summer.
The announcement indicated that the series would continue exploring familiar stories and characters from its first season. However, a complete confirmed cast list for Season 2 had not been released at the time of writing.
Where Can You Watch Every Year After?
All eight episodes of Every Year After Season 1 are available to stream on Prime Video. The episodes were released together on June 10, 2026.
With Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett leading a strong ensemble, the cast of Every Year After turns Fortune’s popular lakeside romance into an emotional television drama about first love, painful mistakes and the possibility of finding a second chance.
