The nine-episode series is inspired by the true story of the Fox sisters, whose controversial, supposed talent for speaking to the dead inadvertently helped spawn the religion of modern Spiritualism.
The three sisters heralded from Rochester, New York, and found success as mediums in the 19th Century. The two younger sisters used “rappings” to convince their older sister and others that they were communicating with spirits. Their older sister then took charge of them and managed their careers. After finding success, in 1888 one sister confessed that their rappings had been a hoax and publicly demonstrated their method.
“Navigating the mind of Leah Fox as she evolves from a piano teacher into a shrewd and devious businesswoman was quite a trip”, said Carey Mulligan. “I’m excited for listeners to hear this immersive retelling of the Fox Sisters, as they journey through sisterhood, spiritualism, and deceit.” The series was developed and produced by Criminal Content. QCODE is executive-producing and serving as the distribution network. Individual executive producers include Carey Mulligan, Shawn Christensen, and Gabriel Mason. Co-executive producers include Christina Brucato and Mara Kassin.
