Avan Jogia and Dove Cameron will join forces again to star in the upcoming romantic (slightly steamy) series being developed by Prime Video, titled “Obsession“, which has a dark tone.
This isn’t the first time the stars have worked together, as they previously collaborated in the 2019 musical comedy film “The Angry Birds Movie 2”, where they portrayed supporting characters.
The production is an adaptation of a popular romantic novel that blends a crime plot with erotic scenes, “56 Days“, which was written by Catherine Ryan Howard and published in 2021.
What is Obsession about?
The series follows “Ciara and Oliver, who randomly meet in a store. They quickly fall intensely in love. 56 days later, homicide detectives arrive at Oliver’s house and find a corpse”.
Although the official synopsis of Amazon’s upcoming thriller series is quite short, the book has been one of the bestsellers for its incredible blend of mystery, crime and romance.
The book portrays a young woman named Ciara who, while on vacation in Thailand with her boyfriend Oliver, is arrested for drug possession. She is sent to a Thai prison where she faces extremely difficult conditions.
The chapters unfold her struggles to survive in that hostile environment while her family and friends at home fight to get her release and uncover the truth behind her arrest.
