Rachel Brosnahan Set To Star in and Produce a New Podcast Series THE MIRANDA OBSESSION
Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) is set to star in and executive produce a new scripted podcast series for Audible titled The Miranda Obsession. The series is inspired by the true story of Miranda Grosvenor, the mysterious woman who seduced several powerful men in Hollywood in the ’70s and ’80s over the phone.
Brosnahan is joined by a talented ensemble cast that includes Milo Ventimiglia, Josh Groban, John Benjamin Hickey, Harry Lloyd and Morgan Spector.
The podcast tells the story of “the elusive Miranda and the boldface men who fell under her spell, including Buck Henry (Hickey), Billy Joel (Groban), Brian McNally (Llyod), Richard Perry (Ventimiglia) and Paul Schraeder (Spector). The Miranda Obsession ultimately reveals the true identity of the Louisiana woman who was able to cultivate such a strong emotional connection with her long-distance phone companions.”
Brosnahan said in a statement, “I was completely captivated by the story of Miranda and her intimate relationships with some of Hollywood’s most powerful male players. Not only did she hold her own, but she curated a fantasy on the other end of the telephone and drew men into her design with words alone.”
Kate Navin, Audible’s head of scripted content, added, “It’s not every day you come across a project like ‘The Miranda Obsession,’ a fascinating story that is perfectly suited for audio. We’re honored the brilliant and gifted Rachel Brosnahan brought her talents to Audible as she creates her own unique take on this unforgettable character.”
The Miranda Obsession is written by Jen Silverman (Tales of the City), and it’s adapted from the 1999 Vanity Fair article of the same name by Bryan Burrough.
The series is currently in production and slated to premiere on April 28, 2022 on Audible.
