Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia in a still from 56 Days

In India and around the world, Prime Video's original series 56 Days has finally premiered. Today, the streaming platform made all eight episodes of the psychological thriller, which blends police procedural and erotic drama aspects, available for simultaneous streaming. A giant addition to the streamer's early 2026 slate, the series is based on Catherine Ryan Howard's best-selling 2021 novel of the same name and features a dramatic shift in tone for the lead characters.

How does the relationship between Ciara and Oliver begin?

56 Days recounts the story of Ciara Wyse (Dove Cameron) and Oliver Kennedy (Avan Jogia) as they endure a "whirlwind" and "toxic" relationship. The series begins with a fortuitous encounter at a supermarket, where the protagonist and antagonist rapidly form a bond due to their shared interests. But the show uses a shattered timeline to suggest that their love is fleeting.

Discovered in a bathtub inside Oliver's Boston luxury apartment is a horribly decomposed body, fifty-six days after their initial encounter. At first, it's unclear who the victim is, so viewers wonder if it's Ciara, Oliver, or an unknown third party. As the series progresses, it switches between the cold reality of the murder investigation in the present day and the growing fixation with the past.

How does the series setting differ from the original novel?

The book took place in Dublin at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic; the pair moved in together swiftly because of the lockdown. However, there have been considerable alterations made to the story for the TV adaptation. Showrunners Karyn Usher (Prison Break) and Lisa Zwerling (ER) created the drama in modern-day Boston.

Instead of focusing on exterior confinement due to the pandemic, the authors have shifted the focus on inside secrets and psychological manipulation. Oliver is portrayed as a rich architect dealing with profound trauma and paranoia, while Ciara is shown as a lady with an ulterior motive and a false identity.

How have the performances of the lead actors been received?

A standout among the series' prominent cast is Cameron, who plays a darker, more mature version of herself in this installment. Critics have praised her versatility as a cool strategist and a vulnerable romantic lead. Oliver, played by Jogia, is somebody on the brink of a nervous breakdown and serves as the film's counterpoint.

Karla Souza and Dorian Missick play the lead roles of Detective Lee Reardon and Detective Karl Connolly, respectively, on the investigating side of the plot.

What do the early reviews say about 56 Days?

James Wan's Atomic Monster and Amazon MGM Studios are working together on the production. Along with Michael Clear and Rob Hackett, Wan is an executive producer for the show, which gives it a polished, high-tension look.

Despite some issues with balancing the romantic and procedural subplots, early reviews have praised the show's "binge-worthy" chemistry and the constant stream of cliffhangers. The show's production design and its unexpected ending, which differs from the source material, have received significant attention.

What language options are available for viewers in India?

56 Days is currently accessible to watch in India and has a solid debut score on review aggregators. The series is available with its original English audio as well as various dubbing and subtitle options.
