Title: Gen-Z Media Launches Spooky Comedy Adventure Podcast, ‘Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula’
In a timely release just ahead of Halloween, Gen-Z Media (www.GZMShows.com), the leading producer of audio programming for tweens, teens, and families, is thrilled to announce its newest serialized podcast, “Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula.” This 20-episode spooky comedy adventure, based loosely on Bram Stoker’s classic novel, will debut on Thursday, September 21, across all podcast platforms, with additional episodes leading up to Halloween.
Written by Lauren Wells, known for her work on FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows,” this comedy adventure stars Bradley Whitford, renowned for his role in “The West Wing,” as the legendary vampire hunter, Professor Van Helsing.
The serialized story follows Mina and Lucy, best friends and monster enthusiasts, who stumble upon a shocking secret about their new classmate. As strange occurrences shake their small town, they find themselves facing the ultimate vampire of legend, Dracula himself.
Whitford brilliantly voices Professor Van Helsing, Mina’s eccentric and protective grandfather, who harbors his secret past as the world’s greatest vampire hunter. The star-studded cast includes Ritchie Coster as Dracula, Suri Marrero as Mina Murray, Genna Du Quesnay as Lucy West, and Marissa Jaret Winokur, Julian Chowdhury, Anthony Atamanuik, and Che Tafari in supporting roles.
According to Ben Strouse, Gen-Z Media’s CEO, Bradley’s portrayal of Van Helsing is both heartfelt and hilarious. The company recognizes the growing demand for immersive family content, particularly in the audio format. Shows like “Mina & Lucy” cater to older tweens transitioning from “kids” podcasts, appealing to young adults, parents, and adults who appreciate captivating storylines. By placing smart and relatable characters at the core of exciting adventures and incorporating original music and immersive sound design, Gen-Z Media aims to create a familiar experience reminiscent of the cinematic world.
With over 20 original audio mysteries, adventures, and comedies, GZM has established itself as the premier creator of scripted audio fiction for young adult and family audiences. Their highly popular mystery-adventure series, “Six Minutes,” has consistently topped the Apple Podcasts Fiction chart, holding the number one spot for years.
Gen-Z Media’s latest podcast, “Nightingale,” featuring Ben Shenkman, has garnered a passionate audience of over 150,000 tweens, teens, and families in just two months. This 12-episode series sensitively explores the struggles faced by children and families grappling with serious illnesses.
Notable podcasts from Gen-Z Media include the Peabody award-winning “The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel” and the Peabody-nominated “Treasure Island: 2020.” Additionally, “The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian,” designed for younger listeners, is currently being adapted for television by Crayola and MIMO Studios.
As Gen-Z Media continues to captivate audiences with their innovative audio productions, “Mina & Lucy’s Guide to Slaying Dracula” promises to be another thrilling addition to their repertoire.
