Obsession follows Oliver (Jogia) and Ciara (Cameron), who, after meeting randomly in a supermarket, fall for each other fast, and dangerously hard. Fifty-six 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 unique crime story and a riveting, erotic, psychological thriller.” 

Obsession is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Atomic Monster, and will be written and executive-produced by Lisa Zwerling and Karyn Usher. James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett are also executive producing via Atomic Monster with Danielle Bozzone overseeing the series for the company while Catherine Ryan Howard is set to serve as co-executive producer.
