The highly anticipated second season of the hit true crime podcast, The Girlfriends from Novel and iHeartPodcasts, has now launched.
The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister brings back host Carole Fisher, along with her close friend Mindy Shapiro and Gail Katz’s sister Alayne Katz, to investigate the identity of a Jane Doe who was featured in the show’s first season.
The show achieved widespread acclaim, reaching the top of the Apple Podcasts charts and earned the 2024 Ambie Award for “Best True Crime Podcast.” Its popularity also caught the attention of A24 Studios, which has optioned the podcast for a television adaptation.
“After seeing how well-received the first season was, we realized that the story wasn’t over just yet and we’re eager to hear how fans enjoy the new season, ” says Max O’Brien, Chief Content Officer from Novel. “The stories from within The Girlfriends universe are precisely the kind we love to tell: compelling, rich and emotionally resonant. We’re honoured that iHeart, Carole and the team have trusted us with bringing season two of this phenomenal show to life.”
Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts added: “We’re excited to have Carole Fisher and her team back for season two of The Girlfriends to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding Jane Doe. After the success of season one, we’re looking forward to continuing the journey with our listeners and uncovering more twists and turns in the story of Gail Katz.”
The first of the five episodes of The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister is available now on most podcast platforms.
