Amazon's 'Things We Never Got Over' Adds Six to Cast
Confirmed
In Short: Prime Video's upcoming series adaptation of Lucy Score's bestselling novel 'Things We Never Got Over' has added six new cast members, including Sean Teale, Sarah Jeffery, Megan Stott, Lili Simmons, Anthony Keyvan, and JoBeth Williams.
The new additions join previously announced lead actors Molly Griggs, Matthew Noszka, and Tommy Martinez. The series is based on Score's first book in the Knockemout trilogy, which has been a New York Times bestseller and one of the most-read titles on Kindle Unlimited since its release in 2022.
Charmelo and Snyder wrote the pilot for the series and will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and will stream exclusively on Prime Video.
When runaway bride Naomi Witt (Griggs) arrives in the quirky town of Knockemout, Virginia, she expects to rescue her estranged twin and return to her old life. Instead, she finds herself with a niece she never knew existed, a town full of intriguing characters, and a future she never imagined.
The series was originally announced in June and is part of Amazon's growing success in adapting novel series for television. Recent hits include 'Reacher,' 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' 'Bosch,' 'Scarpetta,' 'Off Campus,' and 'We Were Liars.'
