History

Historical Context

The June 10 2026 launch of Amazon Prime Video’s eight-episode drama “Every Year After” follows the streaming-original model pioneered by Netflix’s “House of Cards,” which debuted a 13-episode first season on February 1 2013 as the service’s first commissioned series. That breakthrough showed how data-driven binge releases reshaped TV production, prompting rivals to expand multi-season book adaptations.
