Shondaland Audio recently dropped the trailer for its first-ever scripted series, #Matter, an eight-episode podcast series from writer, director, and producer Dylan C. Brown that dissects the aftermath of a complicated instance of police brutality:
Now, Shondaland is thrilled to bring you the first full episode of #Matter, which is now streaming on iHeart, Apple, and wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
The story follows Gerald Hayes, who, after witnessing his teenage son, Niles, being brutally beaten by police officers, makes a split-second decision that leads to Gerald being trapped in a building with one of the officers. As the situation progresses and the press begins to point fingers at Niles, Gerald implements social media as a means to fight back and fight for the rights of his son. The gripping narrative is told through the lens of investigative journalist Kate Bell, who returns to that fateful afternoon a year later via interviews and found surveillance footage.
The cast for the series includes Snowfall's Amin Joseph as Gerald, newcomer Nile Bullock voicing Niles, and Jennifer Christopher as Kate. They’re joined by other industry names like Steve Harris (The Practice, BMF), who plays Hayes’ longtime friend; boxer-turned-actor Pooch Hall, who got his break in The Game and Ray Donovan; and veteran movie star Haley Joel Osment as Sergeant Place, a seasoned cop who becomes the center of the story. Rounding out the cast is none other than Snoop Dogg voicing Big H, one of Los Angeles's most respected gang members.
Episodes of #Matter will continue rolling out weekly on Wednesdays, and remember to check this space for more about the podcast, including insider looks and cast interviews. Happy listening!
