Amazon Adds Six to ‘Things We Never Got Over’ Series Cast

Amazon's Prime Video series adaptation of Lucy Score's popular romance novel, "Things We Never Got Over," has significantly expanded its cast with the addition of six new actors. These new cast members are set to portray key characters within the narrative, bringing the story of the small town of Knockemout to life. The series is based on the first book in Score's "Knockemout" series, which has garnered a substantial readership.

The newly announced cast members include Sean Teale, who will take on the role of Lucian. Teale is known for his previous work in television series such as "Doctor Odyssey" and "Only Murders in the Building." Sarah Jeffery has been cast as Sloane, bringing her experience from "The Six Triple Eight" and "Charmed" to the Prime Video production. Megan Stott will portray a character named Penelope, having previously appeared in "Penelope" and "Little Fires Everywhere." The series aims to capture the essence of Score's novel, which follows the story of a grumpy bookstore owner and a single mom who find unexpected romance.

Further additions to the ensemble cast include Jason Sakaki as Finn, who has credits in "The Last of Us" and "The Expanse." Additionally, Maya Lin will play the character of Tina, and Travis Van Winkle has been cast as a character named Knox. The novel "Things We Never Got Over" was published in 2022 and quickly became a bestseller, praised for its blend of humor, romance, and small-town charm. The adaptation is expected to follow the plot of the first book, focusing on the initial relationship dynamics and the secrets within the community of Knockemout.

The "Knockemout" series by Lucy Score is a trilogy, with "Things We Never Got Over" being the inaugural novel. The subsequent books, "Love Me Like You Do" and "Forever Never," continue the stories of other characters within the same fictional town. The Prime Video series is being developed by Lionsgate Television and has generated considerable anticipation among fans of the books. The casting announcements signal substantial progress in the production phase, with filming expected to commence or be underway. The expansion of the cast with established and emerging actors suggests a commitment to delivering a high-quality adaptation that resonates with both existing fans and new audiences. The series will likely explore themes of second chances, found family, and the complexities of relationships set against the backdrop of a close-knit, albeit secretive, community.
