"My Mom’s Murder" is a podcast hosted by Lauren Malloy and tells the story of how she believed her mother died of a heart condition but it turned out she was murdered.
The audio series launched Thursday on Audible and is now being turned into a television series that will star Chloë Grace Moretz.
The ten-part podcast, which is produced by AYR Media, the company behind series such as "The Case of Jon Benet Ramsey and Queen of the Con", sees Malloy as she uncovers the shocking truth about her mother Lori’s death in 1993.
When Malloy was just an infant, her mother passed away, and had grown up believing her passing was natural. When she discovers that her mother’s death was actually an unsolved murder, she sets out on a journey to discover the truth.
The podcast follows Malloy as she confronts family members, interviews old friends, and unearths hidden evidence about her mother’s life and death. Her investigation leads her to confront shady characters from her mother’s past and navigate conflicting stories and disturbing truths and culminates in potential breakthroughs in the decades long cold case.
Moretz is now leading the television adaptation, which comes from MGM Television. Moretz will exec produce alongside AYR Media’s Aliza Rosen, Steve Stark and Stacey Levin for Toluca Pictures, and Jackie Levine for Audible. Malloy will serve as a producer on the series.
Moretz, who broke out in "Kick-Ass", has starred in recent movies such as "Suspiria" and "The Miseducation of Cameron Post", as well as the Amazon series "The Peripheral". Moretz is also starring in the heist film "Dutch & Razzlekhan".
The podcast is executive produced by Aliza Rosen for AYR Media, actress Chloë Grace Moretz, Lara Regan Kleinschmidt for Audible, Stacey Levin for Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television. Malloy is a producer.
