Joel McHale and Jacob Bertrand Among Actors Cast in Sci-Fi Time Travel Podcast BLACK BOX

Joel McHale (Community, The Soup), Jacob Bertrand (Cobra Kai), Michael Cimino (Love, Victor), Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), and Chosen Jacobs (It) have joined the voice cast of a new time traveling sci-fi podcast titled Black Box that is being produced at Reverb Podcasts and Soundproof Media.

The podcast, which is being described as an “homage to Spielbergian ’80s adventure films…will follow four unwitting teenagers who stumble upon the wreckage of a crashed time machine and are thrust into the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to unhinge time itself.” Cimino, Bassinger, Jacobs, and Bertrand play the lead teenagers, while McHale plays a brilliant scientist whose ego and ambition spiral down a villainous path.

The audio drama is being written and directed by Brian Siegele. Black Box began recording in August, and is still in production as the final members of the cast are rolling in. The eight-episode first season is projected to premiere in early 2021. Are you looking forward to the podcast Black Box?
