Apple has named its second original podcast -- and officially premiered its first.
The hardware giant will tackle opioids and bank robbery in Hooked, which is produced by Campside Media -- the studio behind Chameleon: Hollywood Con Queen, Deadline reports.
In April, it was reported that the company was readying a series about magicician duo Siegfried & Roy -- the first original show not tied to one of its existing Apple TV+ series. That said, Hooked marks the first show to debut on its podcast platform.
Hooked is a biography of Tony Hathaway, who became addicted to opioids, leading to his descent from a successful career in engineering to a 30-year stint as a notorious bank robber. The podcast is an adaptation of a story for Bloomberg Businessweek that was written by Campside Media founder Josh Dean in 2019.
