Case 63: Julianne Moore & Oscar Isaac to lead English language adaptation of Spotify’s Chilean podcast

If you enjoy scripted podcasts, you might want to set a reminder to listen to Case 63 when it arrives on Spotify. Julianne Moore (Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Still Alice) and Oscar Isaac (Dune, Moon Knight) will lead the cast for a plot that’s as cerebral as it is invasive.

Case 63 follows psychiatrist Eliza Knight (Moore), who records the sessions of an enigmatic patient, registered as Case 63 (Isaac), who claims to be a time traveler. What begins as regular therapeutic sessions quickly becomes a story threatening the boundaries of the possible and the real. This version of Case 63 is an English-language adaptation of Spotify’s Chilean podcast, marking the first time a non-English speaking market has been adapted into multiple languages.

In addition to their starring roles, Moore and Isaac will executive produce the podcast in a collaboration between Spotify’s Gimlet, Moore’s production company FortySix and Isaac’s Mad Gene Media. Case 63, Latin America’s most popular podcast, was created by Julio Rojas.

Where do you stand on scripted podcasts? If you’re looking for some, I highly recommend The Battersea Poltergeist and Batman: Unburied. The Battersea Poltergeist is a Bafflegab production starring Dafne Keen (Logan, His Dark Materials), Toby Jones (Detectorists), Alice Lowe (Prevenge), Burn Gorman (Torchwood), Calvin Demba (Life), and Sorcha Cusack (Father Brown). A mix of documentary and drama, The Battersea Poltergeist is written and presented by Danny Robins (Haunted).

Meanwhile, Batman: Unburied acts out one of the best Batman stories I’ve heard in the past decade. Here’s the official synopsis:

A psychological thriller that takes listeners on a “new journey deep into the mind of Bruce Wayne.” Listeners are introduced to a Batman, a forensic pathologist in his civilian life, “working in the bowels of Gotham Hospital,” and tasked with examining the victims of Gotham City’s latest serial killer, The Harvester. Wayne has to navigate a series of dark twists and turns with some classic Batman villains and face his own mental demons to save Gotham’s citizens from The Harvester.

Batman: Unburied stars Winston Duke, Lance Reddick, Gina Rodriguez, Hasan Minhaj, Toks Olagundoye, Jason Isaacs, Ashly Burch, Sam Witwer, John Rys-Davies, Jessica Marie Garcia, and more.

Case 63, starring Julianne Moore and Oscar Isaac, arrives on Spotify later this year.
