Sophie Nélisse will play Lucy in the series, which follows a bestselling romance novel that has sold more than 4 million copies.

  • Netflix Canada announced Thursday that French-Canadian actress Sophie Nélisse will star as Lucy in the upcoming television series adaptation of Carley Fortune's bestselling romance novel, This Summer Will Be Different.
  • Based on the 2024 novel, the series follows Lucy as she navigates her twenties and an "electric" romance with Felix, the younger brother of her best friend, Bridget.
  • The province of Prince Edward Island is investing $5 million in the production, which officials expect will create 75 jobs while showcasing the region's scenery during filming this summer.
