New York, NY - October 5, 2026 - Today, Prime Video announced casting for Things We Never Got Over, the series adaptation of Lucy Score's bestselling novel. Sean Teale (Doctor Odyssey, Only Murders in the Building) is cast as "Lucian", Sarah Jeffery (The Six Triple Eight, Charmed) is cast as "Sloane", Megan Stott (Penelope, Little Fires Everywhere) is cast as "Waylay", Lili Simmons (Double Down South, Power Book IV: Force, Bone Tomahawk) is cast as "Lina", Anthony Keyvan (Just Picture It, XO, Kitty) is cast as "Stef", and JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist, Behemoth!) is cast as "Liza J.".

The Amazon Original Series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
When runaway bride Naomi Witt (Griggs) arrives in the quirky town of Knockemout, Virginia, she expects to rescue her estranged twin (Griggs) and return to the life she left behind. Instead, her sister disappears, leaving Naomi with a niece she never knew existed, a town full of irresistible characters - including charming local sheriff Nash Morgan (Martinez) and his decidedly grumpy but infuriatingly sexy brother Knox Morgan (Noszka) - and a future she never imagined.
Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder wrote the pilot for the upcoming series adaptation and will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Gina Girolamo will executive produce through her production company, Strega Stories. Book author Lucy Score will serve as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
Score is a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of contemporary romance who has sold more than 15 million books worldwide in 35 languages. The first book in Score's Knockemout trilogy, Things We Never Got Over, spent 32 consecutive weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list and was one of the most-read titles on Kindle Unlimited since its release in 2022, with sequels completing the trilogy in 2023.
