Sophie N\u00e9lisse is ready to take on another romance series.<\/p>

The French-Canadian actress will star as Lucy in Netflix's TV adaptation of author Carley Fortune's bestselling romance novel This Summer Will Be Different<\/em>.<\/p>

It will be \"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\u2019s brother, the one person she was never supposed to fall for,\" according to the show's logline.<\/p>

Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart serve as the adaptation's creators and showrunners. They also both executive produce the show alongside Fortune.<\/p>

This Summer Will Be Different<\/em> will film on location in Prince Edward Island and in Toronto. It will span 10 episodes.<\/p>

\u201cI fell in love with Prince Edward Island first in the pages of L.M. Montgomery\u2019s Anne of Green Gables<\/em> and again when I visited with my best friend in my early 20s,\u201d Fortune told Netflix<\/a>. \u201cThat vacation, the beauty of the island, the warmth of its people, and the friendships that sustain us are the foundation of This Summer Will Be Different<\/em>. I\u2019m thrilled to bring this sweeping love story to the screen with Netflix and to transport audiences to the glittering shores and windswept beaches of PEI.\u201d<\/p>

N\u00e9lisse is known for her role as young Shauna in Yellowjackets<\/em>. She's also the fan-favorite character Rose Landry in Heated Rivalry<\/em>.<\/p>
