56 Days Cast & Character Guide: Who Stars In Prime Video's Book Adaptation

56 Days is a dark and suspenseful mystery that unfolds over eight episodes, beautifully brought to life by a talented cast. The story itself is adapted from a novel of the same name by author Catherine Ryan Howard. The name refers to the story's timeline, which opens in a present-day setting and switches back and forth between events 56 days earlier.

In the present, two homicide detectives are assigned to investigate an unidentified body that has decomposed in a bathtub full of chemicals. Then, the story reveals the two central figures of the story, Ciara Wyse and Oliver Kennedy, who appear to be at the center of this horrific crime, though it's unclear what exactly happened and to whom.

Dove Cameron as Ciara Wyse

Date of Birth: January 15, 1996

Actor: Dove Cameron was born in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Cameron began appearing in small TV roles in 2012, but it wasn't long until she landed her first major role playing not one but two leading characters in the Disney show, Liv and Maddie, where Cameron played both twins. Cameron has also had a lot of success as a musician, and several of her most prominent roles involve her singing, such as her leading role in the Descendants movies, and Schmigadoon!

Actor: Avan Jogia was born in Vancouver, Canada to a British-Indian father. Like his co-star Dove Cameron, Avan Jogia got into acting in his early teens, and he managed to secure small parts in TV movies as early as 2006. However, his first major role came when he began playing Beck Oliver in Victorious. Since then, Jogia has gone on to appear in major films.

Together, with her partner, they conduct an investigation to uncover the identity of the body, and hopefully uncover who was behind it all.

Dorian Crossmond Missick as Karl Connolly

Date of Birth: January 15, 1976

Actor: Dorian Crossmond Missick was born in East Orange, New Jersey. Missick has been acting on the big and small screen since 1990, though he has found some of his greatest success in TV roles, often playing the role of law enforcement officers and detectives.
