#The Podcast Tapes’ Docuseries (VIDEO)

HBO is expanding on Ronan Farrow’s hit podcast exposing those who tried to silence survivors and journalists behind Hollywood’s “ungettable story.”

The six-part, half-hour docuseries Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes features revealing interviews with whistleblowers, journalists, private investigators, and other sources from Farrow’s podcast and bestselling book Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and A Conspiracy to Protect Predators. Back-to-back episodes will air weekly on Mondays at 9/8c, beginning on July 12, on HBO. It will also be available to stream on HBO Max.

“This is the story of the group of sources who risked everything to expose the truth. It’s the story of how media and law enforcement and the world of private espionage protected a powerful and predatory man.” Farrow, who also serves as an executive producer, says in the trailer about the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Watch it below.

The series includes never-before-seen footage and new insights enhanced by producers and directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato’s weaving of additional sound and imagery from documents, audiotapes, photos, archive footage, and striking illustrations.
