Based on Catherine Ryan Howard’s 2021 international bestseller 56 Days, 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.

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.

James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett 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.

Darragh currently recurs opposite Amanda Seyfried in Peacock’s Long Bright River. His other notable arcs include Succession, Law & Order: SVU, Mr. Mercedes and Longmire, among others. He’s best known for his series regular role on cult hit Everything Sucks! His film work includes Blumhouse features The First Purge and Cam. Upcoming he’ll be seen in The Union for Netflix, Resentment and The Apprentice. He’s repped by Gersh.

Guloien has appeared in guest starring roles on The Good Doctor, Coroner, and the upcoming pilot episode of Brilliant Minds. She was a series regular on Boat Rocker series Robyn Hood and appeared in a supporting role in Sarah Polley’s Oscar-winning film Women Talking. She’s repped by The Talent House and Brave Artists Management.

Oliva recently guest-starred on NCIS: Hawai’i and has recurred on HBO/Max’s Julia, We Own This City and Olive Kitteridge as well as Bull and Law and Order. She also appeared in the Oscar-nominated film American Fiction and has had supporting roles in The Exorcist: Believer, I Care A Lot and The Company Men. She’s repped by The Lisa Lax Agency and Entertainment Lab.

Keitel is known for her groundbreaking role in David E. Kelley’s Big Sky on ABC, as Ruthie in the reboot of Queer as Folk and more recently as the first openly trans woman as Captain Angel in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Keitel is repped by INSURGE-Ent and Authentic Talent and Literary Management.

Murray is known for playing the new rookie Duncan Moore in ABC’s Rookie Blue, young detective Gene Clemens in CW/Netflix thriller In the Dark and also as the villain in TNT’s series Snowpiercer opposite Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs. His previous credits include Freeform’s Kevin From Work, CW’s The LA Complex, NBC’s American Auto and USA’s Suits, among others.
