Heads Will Roll is an Audible Original from Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon and her cocreator/costar (and real-life sister) Emily Lynne. Produced by Broadway Video, this is not an audiobook—it’s a 10-episode, star-studded audio comedy that features performances from Meryl Streep, Tim Gunn, Peter Dinklage, Queer Eye’s Fab Five, and so many more.
Queen Mortuana of the Night Realm (McKinnon) and her ditsy raven minion JoJo (Lynne) receive a prophecy about a peasant uprising. Together, they must journey to find the “Shard of Acquiescence”, which will put down the rebellion and save the throne. Will their friendship survive sensitive generals, chatty sex slaves, whiny behemoths, princes with bird fetishes, and the notion of democracy?
This raunchy satire also includes the wicked talents of Andrea Martin, Carol Kane, Audra McDonald, Aidy Bryant, Alex Moffat, Heidi Gardner, Chris Redd, Steve Higgins, Bob the Drag Queen, Esther Perel, and more. So, hold on to your head, and let the bad times roll.
To celebrate the launch of the second season of Heads Will Roll this past June, Audible brought the series to San Diego Comic-Con for a panel and press room. In the press room for the romantic comedy series, we got the opportunity to speak with hilarious creators/stars Kate McKinnon & Emily Lynne. The sisters have amazing comedic timing and chemistry, and it was a joy to just watch them speak and finish each others sentences. They talked about working together, finding the voices for the characters, creating the songs for the series, some of the second season’s amazing guest stars, and more.
If you haven’t started listening to the series, you can find it on Audible…
