DESCRIPTION:
(from Amazon's press release, December 2023) Today, Prime Video announced that it has ordered Obsession to series, from executive producer James Wan's Atomic Monster. Lisa Zwerling (The Rook, ER) and Karyn Usher (The Rook, Prison Break) are set to write and executive produce the series, which is based on Catherine Ryan Howard's international best-selling novel 56 Days. Obsession will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Obsession follows Oliver and Ciara, who, after meeting randomly in a supermarket, fall for each other fast, and dangerously hard. Fifty-six days later, homicide investigators arrive at Oliver's apartment to find an unidentified body - brutally murdered and intentionally decomposed. Did he kill her? Did she kill him? Intercutting between an intense single day in the present investigation and the twisted trajectory of the young lovers' affair in the past, the series is both a unique crime story and a riveting, erotic, psychological thriller. While the novel is set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the series will not be. |
