Advance:

The first trailer for Netflix’s comedy thriller ‘Bodkin’ is now online.
The series stars Will Forte, Siobhán Cullen and Robyn Cara.
‘Bodkin’ will land on the streaming service on May 9.

While Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground production company has largely backed major documentaries and dramatic films, the team is heading in a new direction for its latest Netflix series.

‘Bodkin’ promises to take a sidelong look at true crime podcasting, including Will Forte as a dedicated podcaster who digs a little too deep into his latest investigation.

‘Bodkin’ follows a motley group of podcasters (played by Forte, Siobhán Cullen and Robyn Cara) who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a picturesque Irish coastal town.

But once they start pulling the strings, they discover a story much bigger and stranger than they ever imagined.

As our heroes try to discern fact from fiction—about the case, about their colleagues, and, most painfully, about themselves—the series challenges our perception of truth and exposes the stories we tell ourselves to justify our beliefs. beliefs or validate our fears.

Who else is in ‘Bodkin’?

Chris Walley and David Wilmot are also in the cast of the new series.

The new show was created by Jez Scharf (who also worked on ‘Mister Biscuits’ and ‘The UnDream’), and is directed alongside Alex Metcalf (from ‘The Loudest Voice’).

Here’s what Scharf had to say about working on the show:

“Everyone who works on this program is a genius. The most fun thing about doing television is being able to work with such talented and brilliant people and do it together. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun. It’s a world-class team we’ve had on the show, across the board, and we couldn’t be luckier. “

And here is Metcalf’s comment:

“It’s interesting, because the characters originally came from Jez’s head. And then when we started working on the story and the plot, it became something completely different as a result of working on it together. Our dynamic is actually pretty good, especially for two people who were together. It was like, ‘Oh, meet this person.’ You seem fine. Let’s spend two years together. We balance things pretty well and have a good time working together, which, even after all these years, is a pleasure.”
