EXCLUSIVE: Audible is launching its latest scripted audio drama – a punk-edged thriller starring the vocal talents of Elliot Fletcher, Stephen Root and Alice Kremelberg.
The trio star in Bloodhound, which comes from Todd Ellis Kessler, co-exec producer of series including Nashville and The Good Wife, and author Thomas Page McBee, who worked on The Umbrella Academy, where he architected the storyline of Elliot Page’s character’s transition.
The series, which launches on June 6 and is produced by Fresh Produce Media, follows Jay Pulver, a trans college student who is recruited by the FBI when he discovers he has mysteriously acquired superhuman abilities.
The Sex Lives of College Girls’ Fletcher, who also exec produces, plays Jay. Barry star Root co-stars as the eccentric FBI researcher Elvin Landesmann and Orange is the New Black’s Alice Kremelberg voices Jay’s twin sister Dara.
Bloodhound follows Jay as he learns to capitalize on his new-found abilities to sense and reflect extreme emotions. As he trains with the FBI to become a violence-detecting “Bloodhound” – on a mission to sniff out violent rage in order to prevent bombings from a domestic terrorist group targeting the US Capitol – he’s forced to confront his own family trauma, and a crucial secret left by his recently-passed veteran father. Like most men, Jay and his father had a complicated relationship, but it’s Jay’s relatively recent entry into the world of men (he’s only been on testosterone for a couple of years) that gives him a unique vantage point on toxic masculinity, and the resulting disenfranchisement that fuels the political threat facing the nation.
