NBCUniversal’s UCP To Launch Podcast Network

New Network

NBCUNIVERSAL's UNIVERSAL CONTENT PRODUCTIONS (UCP) is launching its own podcast network, UCP AUDIO, in 2020. The new network will launch with one scripted fiction podcast, "THE END UP," starring LAKEITH STANFORD and produced by SAM ESMAIL ("MR. ROBOT," "HOMECOMING"), plus two true crime podcasts, "HOUSE OF PRAYER," hosted by BETH KARAS, and an untitled series on the search for a missing teen hosted by JOSH BLOCH.

UCP has previously adapted "HOMECOMING" and "DIRTY JOHN" into television series and is doing the same for "DR. DEATH" (for NBCU's new PEACOCK video service) and "JOE EXOTIC," the latter just announced with KATE MCKINNON attached.
