Prime Video announced today that it has ordered Obsession to series, from executive producer James Wan’s Atomic Monster.
The upcoming Prime Video suspense thriller series Obsession is based on Catherine Ryan Howard’s international best-selling novel 56 Days, named a “Best Thriller of 2021” by The New York Times and The Washington Post amongst its accolades.
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.
The series is written and executive produced by Lisa Zwerling and Karyn Usher. Also executive producing are James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett via Atomic Monster, with Danielle Bozzone overseeing the series on behalf of the company. Catherine Ryan Howard will serve as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Atomic Monster.
Obsession will premiere globally exclusively on Prime Video. Stay tuned for updates.
