Young adult dramas are having a moment right now. Hot on the heels of the smash-hit teen series, Off Campus, comes another coming-of-age tale from Prime Video. The streaming giant is fast becoming the go-to destination for YA shows thanks to the success of The Summer I Turned Pretty and Every Year After, and Sterling Point is shaping up to be your next TV obsession.
The “heartfelt” eight-part series follows twin siblings Annie and Connor, who discover that they’ve inherited a cottage in Canada from their estranged grandfather Gordon. Annie, whose mother died when she and Connor were young, decides to check out the property in search of answers about her family history. However, she soon learns that her grandfather owned more than just the cottage; he owned the entire island. To her shock, she discovers another girl, Annie’s age, already living there who claims the island belongs to her family.
The series boasts a seriously impressive creative team. Megan Park (My Old Ass) serves as a director, co-showrunner, and executive producer, alongside Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the creative minds behind Gossip Girl. Safe to say, viewers are in safe hands!
