Arriving in May
New Podcasts:
- Behind the Scenes: Shadow and Bone (launch April 28) – It’s time for another season of Behind the Scenes, where you get an exclusive look at how the biggest Netflix series are made. This time, we’re diving head first into the fantasy world of Shadow and Bone. Starting April 28th, host Brandon Jenkins (Mogul; Complex) will sit down with the folks behind the “small science” of the show. (That’s Shadow and Bone-speak for “behind the scenes,” for those of you new to the world.) We’ll hear from showrunners and writers, actors and designers, special effects and more. Expect fire, because this season will be hot!
- Searching for the Sons of Sam (launching May 5) – A companion to the Netflix docuseries, The Sons of Sam: A Descent into Madness. Filmmaker Josh Zeman wasn’t expecting to unearth a bombshell when he first met journalist Maury Terry. Obsessed with the infamous Son of Sam case, Maury had dedicated his life to its intricacies and had serious doubts about its conclusion. He believed that David Berkowitz didn’t act alone, that there were more Sons of Sam still out there, and that the police knew it. In this podcast, Josh follows Maury’s trail, examining the terrifying connections and plausible clues, sending him deeper down the rabbit hole. But where does it end?
