The Amazon series based on Catherine Ryan Howard’s bestselling novel “56 Days” has added four new cast members, Variety has learned exclusively.
Kingston Rumi Southwick, Ella Victoria, Megan Peta Hill, and Alfredo Narcisco have all joined the series, which is now titled “Obsession.” Exact character details are being kept under wraps, but Hill and Narcisco will appear in recurring guest star roles while Victoria and Southwick will be guest stars.
