Audible and Broadway Video’s “Hot White Heist” Returns for a Second Season
Audible alongside Broadway Video Enterprises today announced the hit queer action-comedy Hot White Heist will return for season two on March 7 with six half-hour episodes available exclusively on Audible. Season 1 was lauded as “a fast-paced, high tension, delightfully ridiculous scripted podcast” by IndieWire, and The Atlantic declared that “you’ll be just as engaged with the gags as you are with the plot twists” in its “50 Best Podcasts of 2021” list. Hot White Heist was created, written and directed by Adam Goldman, who also produces the project in collaboration with Alan Cumming. Bowen Yang, Cynthia Nixon, Jane Lynch, Shannon Woodward, Abbi Jacobson, Bianca Del Rio, Stephanie Beatriz, Katya Zamolodchikova, Cheyenne Jackson, and Tony Kushner will reprise their roles for season two alongside newly added stars Raúl Esparza, Sara Ramírez, Joel Kim Booster, Ian McKellen, Jane Krakowski, Trixie Mattel, Yvie Oddly, Sarah Steele, Jesse James Keitel and more.
“Season one of Hot White Heist shattered our expectations for a scripted comedy and became a must-listen for so many of our customers,” said Rachel Ghiazza, Audible’s Chief Content Officer. “Not only does Season 2 double down on our brilliant casting with the addition of Sara Ramírez and Jane Krakowski, but this season’s plot is an even wilder romp, with higher-stakes adventure and bigger laughs, proving that Broadway Video’s ingenious storytelling continues to raise the bar at Audible.”
Bowen Yang says, “I’m thrilled that our sticky heist gang is back for more thrills and debauchery. In season two the stakes are higher, the action is next-level and the story is even more absurd in the best way possible. I’m available for hire if you are planning a heist.”
Hot on the heels of Hot White Heist’s critically acclaimed first season, Judy Fink and his team of amateur heist experts are back–and they’re in bigger trouble than ever. Two years after successfully melting down the top-secret sperm bank under the Space Needle, the CLITO collective (the Coalition of Lesbians, Inclusive To Others) is thriving on their newly acquired private island, Lesbos 2. All is well in their queer utopia. Or is it? Investigative reporter Sarah Keebler (Sarah Steele) is piecing together the crew's previous heist for her bombshell true-crime podcast – and getting dangerously close to the truth.
In addition to Hot White Heist, other audio-only scripted original comedy series resulting from the Audible and Broadway Video collaboration include Trust Fall starring Colin Jost and Wanda Sykes, Yes We Cannabis starring Sam Richardson, Langston Kerman, Punkie Johnson and Method Man, Excessive starring Chloe Fineman and Joshua Jackson, Michelle Rojas Is Not Okay starring Dascha Polanco, Past My Bedtime starring David Harbour, Motivated! created by and starring Nia Vardalos and Rob Riggle, the Ambie and Signal award-winning Hit Job starring Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson, New York Times Audio Fiction Best-Seller Escape from Virtual Island starring Paul Rudd, Jack McBrayer, Amber Ruffin and Paula Pell; New York Times Audio Fiction Best-Seller Heads Will Roll created by and starring Kate McKinnon and Emily Lynne, featuring Tim Gunn, Meryl Streep and Peter Dinklage; 64th Man, starring John Cena and Anna Chlumsky; and Holiday Greetings from Sugar and Booze starring Ana Gasteyer and Maya Rudolph, Lem Can Help starring Fred Armisen and Christmas Delivery starring Gillian Jacobs and Sam Richardson.
