Orange Is The
New Black star and advocate Laverne Cox is set
to star in her first podcast, The Laverne Cox Show, which will
debut in 2021.
The Laverne Cox Show will be produced by Shondaland and
will premiere in February. The weekly podcast will feature intimate
conversations between Cox and her guests.
The show is
also produced by iHeartRadio and joins a Shondaland lineup of podcasts that
includes scripted series #Matter and American Coup, You
Down? With Obama’s Other Daughters, Go Ask Ali with Ali
Wentworth, Katie Lowe’s’ Katie’s Crib, true crime series Criminalia,
and a companion podcast for the upcoming show Bridgerton.
“I’m thrilled
to be continuing and expanding my relationship with Shondaland by doing my
first podcast with Shonda’s amazing team along with iHeartRadio. I can’t wait
for everyone to hear the incredibly interesting conversations I have had with
my guests,” Cox said.
This is just
one of Cox’s projects with the company. She’s also one of the stars of Inventing Anna, Shonda
Rhimes’ upcoming Netflix series about New York high life scammer Anna Delvey.
Cox plays celebrity trainer and life coach Kacey Duke in the series starring
Anna Chlumsky as a journalist and Julia Garner as Delvey.
“Laverne Cox
is a one-of-a-kind talent and we are so excited that our Shondaland Audio
division provides us the opportunity to continue our relationship with her,”
Shondaland Chief Design and Digital Media Officer Sandie Bailey said. “We
all know her onscreen talents and her role as a producer, but this show affords
Laverne the opportunity to produce something very personal. She’s clearly
interested in engaging her listeners and herself in ways she hasn’t before. And
we’re committed to supporting her in doing just that.”
