The Orange Is The New Black star is to lead Haunting , a hybrid scripted/unscripted paranormal podcast. The series is told by those who witnessed incomprehensible, extraordinary, and spooky encounters with the dead.

The podcast, which launches on July 9, sees Lapkus play Therésa, a dead influencer from the “other side.” Believing that nothing says lifeless like a paranormal podcast hosted by a mere mortal, Lauren AKA Therésa presents real first-hand accounts and immersive audio to bring listeners face to face with the unexplainable.

The series, which will feature 32 episodes, comes from Glass Podcasts and iHeart Podcasts. It is exec produced by Lapkus, Nancy Glass, Andrea Gunning and Ben Fetterman as well as Ali Perry for iHeartPodcasts.

Lapkus played Susan Fischer in Netflix prison dramedy Orange Is The New Black and also starred in HBO comedy Crashing . She has also appeared in The Big Bang Theory and Good Girls as well as movies such as Jurassic World and The Wrong Missy.
