True crime podcasts have a huge following. But what happens when the cold case the podcasters start investigating proves to not be so cold after all? Find out in the new Netflix series Bodkin.
Bodkin is a dark comedic thriller about a motley crew of podcasters who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a quaint, coastal Irish town. But once they start pulling at threads, they discover a story much bigger and weirder than they could have ever imagined. As our heroes try to discern fact from fiction — about the case, about their colleagues, and, most painfully, themselves — the series challenges our perception of truth and exposes the stories we tell ourselves to justify our beliefs or validate our fears.
Check out the trailer for the series below.
The series stars Will Forte as Gilbert, Siobhán Cullen as Dove, and Robyn Cara as Emmy, the team of podcasters. The cast also includes Chris Walley (Sean O’Shea) and David Wilmot (Seamus).
Bodkin comes from creator and co-showrunner Jez Scharf and co-showrunner and executive producer Alex Metcalf. Additional executive producers also include David Flynn, Paul Lee, Nne Ebong, Tonia Davis, Barack and Michelle Obama, Tonia Davis, and Nash Edgerton.
The show includes seven hour-long episodes. You can stream it on Netflix starting May 9.
