In the show, though, this was changed, and Sam\u2019s reaction to the news that Percy slept with Charlie unfolds in real time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cFor television, seeing [Sam\u2019s] visceral response to it was so important because it\u2019s dramatic and emotional, and it makes Percy have to stand up and tell the truth, which is what she did in the book, but she\u2019s standing up here, and the reaction is not, \u2018It\u2019s okay.\u2019 It\u2019s actually a huge betrayal,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIt breaks up his relationship with his brother and with Percy, and I think to be able to tell that story in a way that really gave Sam [a reaction in real time]\u2026 You want it to be in the present. And then it really allowed us to play for the next episodes after that with the drama of how that\u2019s unfolding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSam takes a lot of anger out on Charlie. Michael Bradway, who plays Sam\u2019s older brother, liked the change because it \u201craised the stakes\u201d for the cast as actors. Should the show get renewed, Sam and Percy will still have work to do in coming back together as a couple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Every_Year_After_S1_UT_250818_YEUJUS_00029R_CropC_f_3000.jpg?w=1024\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Every_Year_After_S1_UT_250818_YEUJUS_00029R_CropC_f_3000.jpg\" alt=\"L-R: Sadie Soverall as Percy Fraser and Matt Cornett as Sam Florek in 'Every Year After'\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"683\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tL-R: Sadie Soverall as Percy Fraser and Matt Cornett as Sam Florek in \u2018Every Year After\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrime Video<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cIf we\u2019re lucky enough to have a season two, they\u2019re not settled, right? He still has feelings about what happened between them, and I think that is going to make their relationship complicated in the best way, and her guilt still should. They\u2019re working through it. It\u2019s not a happy ending per se yet,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cI think they still have a lot of emotions and issues to work through, and I think that\u2019s what I don\u2019t see as much on TV that I am really interested in exploring. After you get your happy ending, it\u2019s really just the beginning of a relationship, and relationships are not static, they\u2019re constantly changing, and good things can happen to you, or bad things can happen to you, that are exterior from your relationship, and I really want to explore the challenges of being in a couple.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the book, Sam already had an idea of what went down between Percy and his older brother&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,352966,134,352967,352968,15230,352969,427],"class_list":["post-728891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-carley-fortune","tag-entertainment","tag-every-year-after","tag-matt-cornett","tag-prime-video","tag-sadie-soverall","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
