Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Jason Derulo and Alexandra Shipp (“Barbie,” “X-Men: Apocalypse”) will star in “Underwater,” from Interval Presents, Warner Music Group’s in-house podcast network — a neo-noir romantic thriller that will feature new music from Derulo.

Primarily set at a high-end island resort, the eight-part series follows Nico (Derulo) and Ana (Shipp), a couple whose deep romantic connection is threatened by lies and deception — both from Nico’s covert mission and the skeletons in Ana’s closet.

The first two episodes of “Underwater” will premiere Oct. 31, 2023, on all major podcast platforms. New episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays following the launch. “Underwater,” produced by Clamor and Temple Hill Entertainment, is described as a “narrative album,” with new, original music from Derulo woven into the story and score. “As an artist, I’ve always believed that music and storytelling go hand in hand, shaping emotions and connecting people in unique ways.

Podcasting provides an opportunity to delve deeper into the storytelling experience, and ‘Underwater’ intertwines new music with all of the drama, thrills and romance of the story itself,” Derulo said in a statement. “Interval Presents is the perfect partner because of their deep roots in music and expertise as an established podcast powerhouse.
