Oscar-nominated actor Edward Norton will voice Lee Harvey Oswald in a new True Spies podcast narrated by Star Wars star Daisy Ridley.
The podcast, titled The Oswald Project, will explore the life and death of JFK’s assassin, and his possible ties to the CIA. It will be based on old interviews and diary entries from Oswald, as well as other historical sources.
Ridley said she was “fascinated by the mystery of JFK’s assassination and the character of Lee Harvey Oswald,” and was “thrilled to kick off my run as the host of True Spies with this story.”
The podcast will be released on July 18, and subscribers to Spyscape+ will be able to listen to it a week early. Spyscape Studios is the producer of the podcast, and said that episodes of previous seasons of True Spies have been downloaded more than 20 million times.
Ridley will soon be seen in the noir thriller Magpie, which is based on a story she developed. She is also returning to the Star Wars franchise as Rey in one of the upcoming New Jedi Order movies.
Norton could most recently be seen in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City.
