Kerry Washington to Return for Season Two of Audible’s “The Prophecy”
Audible today announced the highly anticipated return of The Prophecy, our hit audio series that immerses listeners in a world of mystery, faith, and supernatural intrigue. In season two of this heart-pounding, richly entrancing Audible Original, Emmy-winning producer and actor Kerry Washington (Scandal, The Six Triple Eight, Django Unchained) again serves as an executive producer and reprises her role as Dr. Virginia Edwards. The new season is set to launch on Thursday, September 25, exclusively from Audible.
Produced by Audible, Simpson Street, and QCODE, The Prophecy Season 2 features a powerhouse ensemble including returning performer Alano Miller (Cherish the Day, Underground) and all-new cast members Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Residence), Dulé Hill (Psych, The West Wing), Rhenzy Feliz (The Penguin, Runaways), Ebony Obsidian (If Beale Street Could Talk, The Six Triple Eight), Eme Ikwuakor (Ink, On My Block), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community, The Odd Couple), Annie Gonzalez (Flamin’ Hot, Gente-fied), Guillermo Diaz (Scandal, Half Baked), Crystal Fox (In the Heat of the Night, The Haves and the Have Nots), Roz Stanley (Girl, Chill, To the Bitter End), and Mara Shuster-Lefkowitz (Searching for Sisterhood, Classified). Season two is created by Randy McKinnon, who returns to continue his captivating audio thriller. The season is directed by Malakai (The Chi) and written by Diandra Pendleton-Thompson (Star-Trek: Prodigy).
“Season 2 of The Prophecy expands the world of the show in ways that will thrill fans of the first season as well as new listeners! It’s so exciting to be able to return to the character of Virginia Edwards,” said Kerry Washington, “And to join this spectacular all-star cast as we take on this new chapter of our story. In Season 2, we’ve deepened the intrigue and heightened the stakes to take listeners on an invigorating and immersive mind-blowing adventure.”
Randy McKinnon said, “Season 2 delivers everything fans have been waiting for—higher stakes, explosive drama, and an expanded Prophecy universe that introduces exciting new characters and storylines. Kerry, Giancarlo, and our exceptional cast and crew, delivered performances that were truly extraordinary. Kate Navin and the entire Audible team gave us unprecedented creative freedom, and we used every ounce of it to craft a sophomore season that pushes the boundaries of what audio storytelling can achieve. Audiences will be in for a treat."
"Collaborating with Kerry Washington and the talented teams at Simpson Street and QCODE to bring this story to life has been nothing short of remarkable. After the overwhelmingly positive response to the first season, Randy McKinnon has delivered an incredible continuation of Virginia’s story that I know will thrill audiences as it unfolds in a way that only audio can deliver,” said Kate Navin, Audible’s Head of Creative Development, North America.
Following the critically acclaimed, “provocative and compelling” (E! News) first season, in which Dr. Virginia Edwards faced supernatural forces and assassination attempts while protecting her miracle child, The Prophecy Season 2 returns with higher stakes and a new cast of allies. Season two finds Virginia (Washington) grappling with the revelation that her son Joshua may be the key to humanity's future. As she reunites with her husband, a new threat emerges: billionaire Luther Bell (Esposito), the leader of the cult hunting her family. Guided by disturbing visions, Virginia has just one month to decode the prophecy's meaning and stop Bell's rise to power. With help from her loyal allies—Moses (Hill), Samson (Feliz), and Delilah (Obsidian)—she embarks on a perilous journey through the Deep South, where trust is scarce. As Virginia races against time, she realizes that faith might be the only thing standing between the world and disaster.
The Prophecy Season 2 joins Audible’s diverse slate of scripted full-cast Audible Originals, including George Orwell’s 1984, performed by Andrew Garfield, Cynthia Erivo, Andrew Scott, and Tom Hardy; The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery, performed by Jon Hamm, Ana de la Reguera, and Alia Shawkat; The Boar’s Nest, performed by Mandy Moore and Ebon Moss-Bachrach; The Safe Man, performed by Jack Quaid and Titus Welliver; and more.
