EXOPLANET
Premieres November 5^th
By Benjamin Percy and Andy Weir
Performed by Anthony Mackie, Ariana DeBose, John Leguizamo, Ray Porter, Cherry Jones, Aida Osman, Charlie Plummer, Sufe Bradshaw, and a full cast

One crew. One planet. Three timelines. No one survives alone.

A sci-fi thriller executive produced by Andy Weir (#1 bestselling author of Project Hail Mary, The Martian), with an all-star cast led by Anthony Mackie, Ariana DeBose and John Leguizamo. Written by Benjamin Percy (Wolverine, The Ninth Metal). Sound design by Skywalker Sound in immersive Dolby Atmos.

When the starship Wild Blue Yonder is torn apart by a quantum anomaly, each surviving crew member crash-lands in a different era on the same deadly exoplanet—hunted, alone, and running out of time. Chief Engineer Jeff Shaw (Anthony Mackie), aided by his virtual assistant (Ray Porter), must battle an unforgiving present, driven by one thing: getting home to his daughter. First Officer Becca Bang (Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose) fights to survive a hostile alien past. Science Officer Logan Bowers (John Leguizamo) wakes in a machine-ruled future that shouldn’t exist. But the anomaly wasn’t random. A relentless alien intelligence is feeding on human technology—and it’s been waiting for them across every timeline. Separated by centuries, the crew must find a way to communicate across time itself before this world consumes them all.

Exoplanet is a propulsive, emotionally charged sci-fi thriller, perfect for fans of Project Hail Mary, Red Rising, The Expanse, and Dark Matter. Listeners, join the latest journey from Andy Weir where science meets survival, and the human spirit is tested across time, space, and impossible odds. Exoplanet awaits your arrival.

ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS
Premieres November 2^nd
By Lisa Jewell
Narrated by Ruth Wilson, Matthew Rhys, Phoebe Dynevor, and Harriet Walter

A simmering, deliciously dark story of obsession, ambition and the dangerous space between truth and fiction from global bestselling sensation Lisa Jewell.

Fiddy and Louise Stone had the perfect marriage—until Louise became a bestselling author and their world was turned upside down. Now Louise has the money, the fame and all the power. Fiddy has his resentments and he also has Kate—his younger “office wife” who makes him feel seen, understood and appreciated in ways Louise no longer does.

The thing is: Kate has been watching them both for years. She knows their secrets, their weaknesses, their breaking points. She’s been weaving herself into their lives, one Christmas at a time.

Then Louise falls mysteriously ill. A disturbing manuscript arrives at her publisher’s office. And the truth becomes impossible to untangle. Everyone has a story to tell. The challenge is separating truth from fiction.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS…
Premiered October 29^th
Written by Tom Noonan
Performed by Corey Stoll and Cecily Strong
Directed by Ian Rickson

“Immaculately performed.” —The New York Times Critic’s Pick

New York City can be the loneliest place on earth. In a studio apartment in Manhattan, two colleagues meet for an intimate dinner after work. What begins as small talk quickly unravels into an achingly tender chamber piece about attraction, secrets, and the desperate need for connection. What does it cost to let someone else in?

Directed by Ian Rickson and featuring Corey Stoll and Cecily Strong, What Happened Was… was presented live at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre in spring 2026, the first major revival of Tom Noonan’s play. The production was part of the second season of Audible Theater’s collaboration with TOGETHER, the theatrical partnership led by Sonia Friedman and Hugh Jackman.

FEEDING FRENZY
Premieres November 5
Written by Ava Geyer
Performed by Johanna Day, Silvia Dionicio, Jenn Colella, Crystal Finn, and Jennifer Ikeda

Good intentions motivate unthinkable actions in Ava Geyer’s taut and psychologically deft horror-thriller Feeding Frenzy. Cindy is counting down the days until her daughter comes home for winter break—if only she can hold herself together long enough. River has been watching her mother spiral for years, and this isn’t just another rough patch – it’s the last one she’s willing to endure. Out of fierce love and desperation, River’s found a way to cure her mother’s suffering permanently, and she’s determined to see it through. As River’s methods escalate from unsettling to alarming, Cindy must confront the question: what happens when the person who loves you most is willing to destroy who you are to save you? Studded with smart humor, underpinned by deep feeling, and full of never-saw-it-coming twists, Feeding Frenzy is a timely mother-daughter story about the unknowability of those we most adore.

Brooklyn-based playwright & screenwriter Ava Geyer is a recipient of Audible’s Emerging Playwright Fund, which seeks early-career theatrical writers who craft immersive fictional experiences that engage, entertain, and inspire. The Fund values diverse perspectives, innovative approaches to form, and stories that harness the unique intimacy and immediacy of audio storytelling. Whether exploring internal worlds through sound, creating vivid landscapes through language, or experimenting with narrative structure, Audible encourages work that pushes boundaries and demands to be heard.

MISTLETOE MURDERS 5
Premieres November 5^th
By Ken Cuperus
Narrated by Cobie Smulders, Raymond Ablack, and a full cast

It’s time to trim the tree, hang the stockings, and log onto Audible, for the much-anticipated return of Mistletoe Murders, the hit original series now in its fifth year, featuring Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) reprising her role as cozy crimefighter and year-round Christmas store owner Emily Lane.

From Canadian Screen Award winner Ken Cuperus, with Ginny & Georgia’s Raymond Ablack, plus a stellar ensemble cast featuring Kylee Evans (The Good Witch) and Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience), this new season of the Audible Original will scratch that mystery itch, while helping you get in the festive spirit for the holidays.

When Emily Lane isn’t busy running her charming Christmas-themed store, ‘’Under the Mistletoe,” located in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, she finds herself investigating not-so-quaint local murders. This season finds Emily pulled into a trio of puzzling mysteries that reveal how easily holiday traditions can hide secrets, betrayal, and danger. While her relationship with Detective Sam Wilner deepens, Emily is compelled to confront complicated cases involving old grudges, hidden identities, suspicious accidents, and long-buried connections from the past. And as the stakes grow increasingly personal, Emily begins to realize that solving these crimes may also mean facing the darker truths she has spent years trying to outrun.

A GHOST IN YOUR EAR

Starring Lucas Iverson (HBO Max’s “The Pitt”) and Owen Campbell (A24’s X)
Featuring sound design by the Tony-nominated duo Ben & Max Ringham (A Doll’s House, Prima Facie)

“[Lucas Iverson] gives a dynamic, compelling performance.” –The Wall Street Journal

“A Ghost in Your Ear sets a high bar for immersive theatrical storytelling.” –Stage and Cinema

Following an acclaimed, sold-out run at London’s Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, Audible Theater presents the New York premiere of Jamie Armitage’s A Ghost in Your Ear, an immersive horror show set inside an audiobook recording session gone terrifyingly wrong.

When an actor (Iverson) arrives late to a sound studio for a last-minute recording session, he is handed the script of a chilling ghost story to read. But as the engineer (Campbell) cues the recording and the evening wears on, the horrors slowly begin to escape the page to haunt the studio itself. With audiences wearing headphones featuring groundbreaking binaural sound technology, this cutting-edge theatrical experience places everyone directly in a haunting world of sound.
