’56 Days’: 7 Biggest Changes From the Book to the TV Show

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for 56 Days Season 1 and the novel by Catherine Ryan Howard.]

When Prime Video revealed that their TV adaptation of Catherine Ryan Howard’s novel 56 Days would change settings from COVID-19 era Dublin to present-day Boston, we knew the story would shift a little from book to screen. However, when 56 Days premiered on February 17, the story we watched unfold was completely different from what we read back in 2021.

Both the TV series and novel follow Ciara Wyse (Dove Cameron) and Oliver Kennedy (Avan Jogia), a newly formed couple who seemingly met by chance and rapidly decided to live together.
