Fortune fans know exactly what Bradway is referring to. While Every Year After’s first season—and its corresponding book—follows Percy and Sam’s love story, the second novel, and likely corresponding season, turns its focus to Charlie and his love interest Alice Everly. 

The new love interest hasn’t been officially cast as of yet, but Fortune previously shared insight into who she’s hoping to get the role. 

“Alice is someone who is really at a crossroads in her life,” Fortune told Swoon earlier this month. “She’s very soft. She’s a caregiver. She puts everyone before her. She’s someone who needs to be in the background. She’s very different from the women on Every Year After. I think you need someone who can show that softness but is also very steely inside.”

As Fortune put it, “She is actually very, very strong.”

Meanwhile, other cast members are excited for some resolution in the upcoming season. 

“I do think that obviously things can be fixed, but I think that there is a lot of talking that needs to happen,” Cornett posited of where the characters currently stand in an interview with E! News earlier this month. “I think that they need to be able to become friends again first, before they can even consider moving forward as a couple. So I’m excited to see that kind of relationship regrow and almost have to start from the ground up.”
