Netflix is gearing up to launch a new erotic thriller that is sure to leave viewers hot under the collar. Hot on the heels of psychological drama You and the raunchy series Sex/Life, the streaming giant is dropping a brand-new tale of forbidden lust.
Written by playwright Morgan Lloyd-Malcolm, new miniseries Obsession follows respected London surgeon William as he embarks on an affair with his adult son’s fiancée Anna. Their dangerous liaisons soon develop into an erotic infatuation that threatens to change their lives forever, as William becomes obsessed with his soon-to-be daughter-in-law.
It stars a host of familiar faces, led by Spooks and The Hobbit star Richard Armitage and Peaky Blinders and Happy Valley’s Charlie Murphy as the two lustful lovers. They are joined by Obi-Wan Kenobi actress Indira Varma and Ms. Marvel’s Rish Shah as William’s wife Ingrid and his son Jay.
