Avan Jogia is the name on everyone’s lips these days, and for good reason. The handsome actor has been making waves with his latest role in the hit Prime Video series 56 Days, where he dives into a world of steamy encounters and thrilling drama. With jaw-dropping sex scenes that have gone viral, it’s no wonder fans are clamoring for a second season.
In 56 Days, Jogia plays Oliver Kennedy, a character whose obsession with Dove Cameron’s Ciara Wyse leads them into a dangerously lustful relationship. The show kicks off with a chance meeting in a supermarket, but quickly spirals into a mystery involving an unidentified body found in Oliver’s apartment. Talk about a plot twist!
Reflecting on his experience, Jogia shared, “I had so much fun shooting that show! It resonated with people and did very well. I’ve done a lot of romantic parts throughout my career. It’s a lot of work to be on a shirtless show, but those scenes really elevate the story. I only do this for the challenge and I love something that pushes me out of my comfort zone.” And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a little eye candy?
But Jogia isn’t just about the steamy scenes; he’s also a proud advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Having played several queer roles, including Ulysses in Now Apocalypse and Nico in I Am Michael, he feels honored to tell stories that resonate with many in the community. “As an actor, I was put here to make sure that I get to explore all parts of humanity,” he says. “I’m so personally invested in the wellness of the queer community and the representation of the queer community. It really warms me to be any sort of help or use. It’s completely humbling and mind-blowing.”
Jogia’s journey from teen heartthrob Beck on Nickelodeon’s Victorious to a leading man in a provocative thriller is nothing short of inspiring. He recognizes the impact of representation, especially as a man of color in the entertainment industry. “One of the victories in Victorious is being able to be seen by people who can see themselves on screen, especially as a brown man,” he reflects. “There’s brown kids who have resonated with me and it’s really important. Seeing your identity matters.”
As 2026 unfolds, Jogia continues to celebrate his growth as an artist, recently spotted at a Motorola event in Los Angeles, reminiscing about his childhood with the original Razor phone. “The event itself was a throwback to the Y2K era, which was really fun to be a part of. I grew up with that phone and it’s very cool to see it evolve, similar to how I have,” he said.
With 56 Days streaming now on Prime Video, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next for this talented actor. Will we see more of his sizzling chemistry with Cameron? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Avan Jogia is here to stay, and he’s bringing the heat.
