laqqinq Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) Dove Cameron (Schmigadoon!) and Avan Jogia (Orphan Black: Echoes) have been set to topline Obsession, a thriller series produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Atomic Monster, which was ordered in December 2023. Written and executive produced by Lisa Zwerling and Karyn Usher, the show is based on Catherine Ryan Howard's 2021 international bestseller 56 Days. Quote The story follows Oliver (Jogia) and Ciara (Cameron), who, after meeting randomly in a supermarket, fall for each other fast, and dangerously hard. 56 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 crime story and an erotic, psychological thriller. Quote While the novel is set against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, with Ciara and Oliver meeting at the onset and moving in together during lockdown, the series will not be. Dorian Missick and Karla Souza are set as series regulars opposite Cameron and Jogia. Patch Darragh (Long Bright River), Kira Guloien (The Good Doctor), Celeste Oliva (Julia), Jesse James Keitel (Big Sky) and Matt Murray (Snowpiercer) are set for recurring roles. Missick will play Karl. Disorganized and in the midst of a horny midlife crisis, Karl Connelly's life appears to be a chaotic mess. But despite his reckless habits and short-fused temper, he is a gifted detective and unflinchingly honest and loyal to the people he cares about. Souza portrays Lee Reardon is a dedicated, experienced Boston homicide detective who, despite many flaws in the system, is a deep believer in justice. But she's harboring a dark secret that challenges everything she stands for and threatens to destroy the most important relationship in her life. Darragh will play Dan Troxler, a trustworthy psychotherapist who is closely guarding the secrets of his pet client while attempting to assuage his guilt. Guloien will portray Jane Miller, an enigmatic woman whose attempts at charm thinly veil an ambitious professional agenda. Oliva will play Camille (Cami) Russo, a Detective Sergeant of the Boston Police Department and Lee and Karl's boss. She's smart, tough, fair, cares about her cops and is willing to protect them– as long as they remain in loyal service of her department. Keitel is Alison Meadows, who is stunning, sophisticated, and underestimated in her ability to see through lies and find ways to expose them. Murray will play Kevin Sullivan, the property manager of a swanky Boston apartment building. He appears confident and eager to please – a facade he maintains to conceal the fact that he knows more than he is saying. He has an agenda behind a bravado with cracking edges. Zwerling and Usher executive produce Obsession with James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett, who are exec producing via Atomic Monster, with Danielle Bozzone overseeing the series on behalf of the company. Sandrine Gros d'Aillon also exec produces. Catherine Ryan Howard is serving as co-executive producer. Alethea Jones is directing the first two episodes and also serves as exec producer. Irish author Howard will serve as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Atomic Monster. - Deadline Hollywood 1 (May 2024) 2 (June 2024) 3 (June 2024) 4 (December 2023) UPDATE (OCT 26, 2024): Filming of the series has wrapped up!
