The Blondes

The Blondes is a scripted podcast based on the novel of the same name by Emily Schultz premiering in July 2019. Starring Madeline Zima, Robert Belushi, Helen Hong, Dana Berger, and Cecilia Corrigan, the first season follows several characters as they negotiate a world where a form of rabies afflicts blonde women. In June 2017 "the Hollywood Reporter" revealed that "The Blondes" would be among the first series to premiere on AMC Networks' Shudder streaming service. In 2019 Schultz regained the rights and collaborated with executive producer Duncan Birmingham along with directors Brian Joseph Davis and Jenny Grace to create a podcast that drew on the novel. In 2020 it was announced that the European podcast network, Sybel, will produce French and Spanish language versions of The Blondes podcast.
