Scroll to find out everything we know about Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia’s new series, and be sure to stream all eight episodes on February 18, 2026!

What is 56 Days about?

Prime Video has revealed that 56 Days follows Oliver and Ciara, who rapidly fall for each other after meeting randomly in a supermarket. After fifty-six days, homicide investigators arrive at Oliver’s apartment to find an unidentified body in the bathtub that appears to be intentionally decomposed.

Going back and forth between the murder investigation and Oliver and Ciara’s short, but steamy relationship, Prime teases, “the series is both a unique crime story and a riveting, sexy, psychological thriller.” The only question is: Did he kill her, or did she kill him?

Prime has made it clear that the adaptation is a departure from Catherine Ryan Howard’s original novel, changing the setting from pandemic-era Dublin to present-day Boston. However, her underlying question still stands: “No one knew they’d moved in together. Now one of them is dead. Could this be the perfect murder?” Our verdict: Absolutely.

Is there a trailer for 56 Days?

In case you missed it, the trailer for Prime Video’s 56 Days has finally dropped. The trailer captures all 56 days of the couple’s whirlwind love affair, from their grocery store meet-cute to the moment the investigators arrive at his apartment, with all of the small fires, steamy moments, and shattered glass that came out of the days in between.

The trailer also teases a false identity for Jogia’s character, who pulls out two IDs with different last names as Cameron’s voiceover exclaims that she doesn’t like secrets. Instead, she likes “reveals.” The trailer ends with Cameron’s character flirtatiously telling Jogia’s, “I’m going to get you.” His response? “Not if I get you first.”
