Wondery Sets New True Crime Podcast ‘Kill List’ About Murder for Hire (EXLUSIVE)

Wondery have set a new true crime podcast called “Kill List” about an elaborate murder for hire scheme on the dark web.

Made by podcast production company Novel, “Kill List” follows tech journalist Carl Miller as he stumbles across a list of people on the dark web who someone wants dead. So much so they’re willing to pay hitmen on a murder for hire site to take them out.

“When the police decide not to investigate, Carl is thrown into a race against time to warn those in danger and uncover the truth about the people who want them dead,” reads the synopsis. “But how do you tell a total stranger that someone has placed an order for their murder? As the number of cases rapidly expands across the world, Carl faces an increasingly urgent battle to persuade the global authorities to get involved.”

“From the moment I first heard the shocking premise of ‘Kill List,’ I couldn’t believe what had been uncovered,” said Marshall Lewy, Wondery chief content officer. “The teams at Novel and Wondery have left no stone unturned in uncovering the truth through powerful reporting and storytelling. It’s truly been an epic investigation, and the resulting work is extremely compelling.”

Host Carl Miller said: “This has been the scariest, weirdest and certainly the most important work of my life. It’s been an investigation where lives were, at times, literally on the line, and one that has profoundly altered many of the people who were a part of it, including me. For four years, we have had to do this work in secret and now, at last, we can step into the light to tell this story.”

“Kill List” launches on Oct. 8.
