Blumhouse TV and Vespucci Teaming to Create Original True Crime Cult Podcast Series Titled REVELATIONS at Spotify
Blumhouse TV and Vespucci are teaming up to create an original true crime cult podcast titled Revelations. The Spotify series follows “a doomsday cult in Northern California known by wine lovers for their vintage,” and it will be hosted by The Gateway’s Jennings Brown.
“The six-part series tells the story of the Fellowship of Friends, which was founded by Robert Earl Burton, an East Bay schoolteacher who began preaching out of a van in Berkeley in the 1960s before founding the fellowship in 1970 and building it up to around 2,500 members.”
The group ran the successful Renaissance Vineyard and Winery between 1982 and 2015.
Chris McCumber, president Blumhouse Television said of the project:
“The echos of NXIVM in Revelations are sadly all too familiar, and make this story Jennings Brown uncovered all the more necessary listening.”
Jennings Brown added:
“I’m glad to finally be sharing the story of the Fellowship of Friends, its members, and its survivors—and I hope this series leaves listeners with a better understanding of the dynamics of spiritual abuse. I appreciate that Vespucci and Gilded Audio understood and supported this story from the beginning, and I’m grateful that Blumhouse Television, Parcast, and Spotify are helping us tell it.”
Revelations premieres on Spotify on October 3rd. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
