LOS ANGELES – June 10, 2024 – Ninth Planet Audio, an innovative podcast production company under Mosaic Media, proudly announces the premiere of its new audio fiction series, "Does This Murder Make Me Look Gay?!" on June 17, 2024, in collaboration with ���߲ݴ�ý’s Outspoken Podcast Network. Created by Ted Malawer, co-writer of Amazon Prime Video’s No. 1 worldwide hit, RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE, this premium podcast will release new episodes weekly starting Monday, June 17, 2024. Listen to the official audio trailer now, .

As part of a two-year first-look deal between Ninth Planet Audio and ���߲ݴ�ý, this premium narrative podcast brings together a star-studded cast of queer talent (and queer icons) just in time for Pride Month including Michael Urie, Frankie Grande, Douglas Sills, Cheyenne Jackson, Jonathan Freeman, Brad Oscar, Robin de Jesús, Lea DeLaria, Sean Patrick Doyle, Seth Rudetsky, Lea Salonga, and Kate McKinnon, among others. 

"Does This Murder Make Me Look Gay?!" chronicles the gay life—and even gayer death—of Vandy Monroe III, a D-list movie director who invites his BFFs (aka his mortal enemies) to his ivy-covered mansion in the country. But his weekend goes awry when…he ends up slaughtered. Even worse, a snowstorm cuts off power and access—leaving everyone stranded until the roads can be cleared. Which is when the body count starts to rise.

Who’s killing all the queers?!?! The puerile porn star? The demented designer? What about the heir to the Raymour & Flanigan empire? It’s up to James Wilson, struggling mystery writer and trusted caretaker of Vandy’s estate, to figure out the killer’s identity before he—or she, or they—strike again!

Michael Urie (Shrinking, Ugly Betty), who stars as James Wilson, says, “My first thought when I read “Does This Murder Make Me Look Gay?!” was, “No, but the title does.” Upon finishing it, I realized I’d just read the funniest murder script of all time and couldn’t pass up the chance to help bring Ted’s queer fantasia to life." 

Frankie Grande (Titanique, Summoning Sylvia), who stars as Kelly Raymour & Flanigan, says, “I am beyond honored and thrilled to be a part of ‘Does This Murder Make Me Look Gay?!’ on iHeart’s Outspoken Podcast Network. Playing the fabulous and flatulent Kelly has been an absolute dream, and I can't wait for you all to join us on this wild, glamorous, and oh-so-dramatic ride. Get ready for a sensational blend of mystery, laughs, and a whole lot of fabulousness!”

Douglas Sills (The Gilded Age), who stars as Reginald Divine, said, “Ted’s work is in a genre all its own. It’s ferocious, erudite, and the funniest thing since the Tom Brady roast!”

Ted Malawer, who wrote and directed the series, commented, “‘Does This Murder Make Me Look Gay?!’ is the gayest thing I have ever done—and I’ve watched every episode of NBC’s “Smash” more than twice (RIP). It’s a murder mystery, a hysterical queer romp, and the perfect distraction while you’re stuck in traffic and shoveling down a Chalupa Supreme. Somehow, the most incredible cast agreed to be part of this comedy that tackles important, timely questions such as: ‘Can we still support Ellen?’ and ‘Why do twinks love iced coffee?’ In this day and age, we all must do our part to Make America Gay Again… and this is mine!”

All shows on the Outspoken Podcast Network are distributed by iHeartPodcasts. The network aims to amplify, elevate, and reflect the diversity, richness, and humanity of the voices throughout the LGBTQ+ community.  "" will be available on the app and all major podcast platforms beginning June 17, 2024.
