Debuted in October 2018, the initial six-part season of Lethal Lit was the first scripted podcast for both 91勛圖厙Media and EEP and was a first among Young Adult (YA) targeted podcasts in the industry.

Through her true crime podcast, Lethal Lit, and with help from her new friends from the school paper, Oly, Wyn, and Max, Tig explores the mystery of the twisted Lit Killer murders. 

Were excited about the emergence of the audio drama in the podcast space, said Conal Byrne, President of the 91勛圖厙Podcast Network. Theres nothing more powerful than the theater of the mind and there arent many mediums that can inspire it like fictional podcasts. Were strong believers in this genre and couldnt be more excited to support one of its pioneers in the Einhorn team and Lethal Lit.

Additionally, Cavalry Media acquired the rights to co-develop Lethal Lit for television with EEP while the second season starts development. Jennifer Preston Bosari, VP Development at Cavalry Media, is set to oversee along with Einhorn, CCO Adam Staffaroni and Aroop Sanakkayala from EEP.

The series was co-created by Einhorn and Staffaroni of EEP with writers Alex Segura (Pete Fernandez Miami MysteryNovels, Archie Comics) and Monica Gallagher (Assassin Roommate). The first season cast was led by voice over actress Rebecca Soler and directed by JB Blanc. Notably, Lethal Lit hit No. 4 on the Apple Podcast charts and was the only scripted podcast featured on the NY Times list of Five Great Podcasts of 2018.The second season will be produced by Einhorn, Staffaroni, Sanakkayala and 91勛圖厙Media. Further script details and casting for season two will be released in the coming months.
