Which The Last Sunrise Character Are You?

Learn More About The Last Sunrise

The Last Sunrise arrives on Prime Video August 26, 2026, adapting Anna Todd's bestselling novel into a summer romance with real emotional stakes underneath the sunlit Mallorca setting. Maia Reficco stars as Ry, a college student navigating a chronic illness who escapes to the Spanish island for the summer with her mother, played by Eva Longoria — only to find the trip reopening old family wounds even as it opens up something new.

Fernando Lindez plays Julián, the local who becomes Ry's unexpected summer romance, pulling her toward the kind of present-tense living she has spent years avoiding out of caution. Director Carlson Young, whose earlier work includes Trust and The Blazing World, has talked about wanting the film to hold both the lightness of a summer romance and the weight of a family finally confronting what it's been avoiding.

The supporting cast rounds out Ry's world on both sides of the Atlantic: Andrés Velencoso as Mateo, tied to the family's hidden history, along with Chloé Sweetlove and Sabrina Bartlett filling out Ry's circle back home and on the island. Anna Todd, who wrote the After series before this novel, also produces, which has drawn a built-in audience of readers eager to see her prose translated to the screen again.

What sets The Last Sunrise apart from a standard summer-romance premise is how directly it deals with chronic illness — Ry's condition isn't a plot device that resolves neatly, it's a constant, quiet pressure shaping every choice she makes about how much of herself to risk. That tension between wanting to be careful and wanting to actually live gives the romance plot more weight than the trailer's sun-soaked visuals might suggest.

Early buzz has focused as much on the mother-daughter relationship as the central romance — Eva Longoria's Isolde carries her own long-hidden secrets, and the film frames Ry's summer as much as a reckoning with her mother as it is a love story. That double structure, romance on one hand and family reconciliation on the other, is very much in the tradition of the After franchise's source material, just with the intensity turned toward something quieter.

Whichever character you matched with, the film's real question is the one worth sitting with: what would you do differently if you stopped being so careful with the time you have?
