Announcing: Unlicensed Season 2

From the creators of Welcome to Night Vale, Alice Isn’t Dead, and Within The Wires comes the return of Unlicensed, their critically acclaimed Audible Original.Save it to your Audible library today: https://www.audible.com/pd/Unlicensed... Out in the far reaches of Los Angeles County, where the glamor of Hollywood fades into the long empty of the desert, two unlicensed private detectives are about to face a case that is larger and more complicated then any they’ve faced before.A ghost-hunting influencer disappears in the middle of a live stream. A beekeeper is murdered after telling his friends that he has come across a dangerous secret.It is up to unlicensed PIs Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch to put together the pieces, as the powerful elite of California try to stop them. Even if they solve the case, can they come out the other side unscathed?From the dusty citrus groves of Redlands to the wealthy enclaves of Monterey, season two of Unlicensed is the kind of grand California noir they just don’t make anymore.Written by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor with Glen David Gold, Brie Williams, and Aliee Chan Starring: Lusia Strus, Molly Quinn, TL ThompsonFeaturing guest appearances by Brennan Lee Mulligan, Demi Adejuyigbe, Janet Varney, and more.
