Podcast Network QCODE will pair with Chris Pine and Olivia Wilde for Ad Lucem, a new socio-political thriller series set in New York City in the near future. Creators Troian Bellisario and Josh Close will also both star, along with Fiona Shaw, Clancy Brown, and Patrick Adams. Ad Lucem will premiere later this summer on all major podcast platforms.
Ad Lucem follows tech company Ad Lucem OI and its groundbreaking invention, a Corporeal Augmented Reality Assistant (CARA). CARA is not just a regular listening device but a live operator that offers personalized, human-like responses to fulfill users’ needs. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes evident the company’s mission may have unintended consequences.
“I had a great time partnering with QCODE and working alongside amazing talents Olivia and Fiona on this thought-provoking series,” said Pine. “The podcast is extremely relevant to the technological upheavals happening in all our lives and questions its impact on real, human connection. I’m excited to share this gripping series with audiences everywhere.”
“As we live more of our lives online, Ad Lucem touches on our growing concerns regarding technology and its ability to disconnect us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually,” said Creators Troian Bellisario and Josh Close. “Is this hurting us more than helping? Who are we online? And how do we adapt to A.I. as human beings? With conflicted three-dimensional characters in an operatic and entertaining setting, we think this podcast will be an extremely provocative and fun journey for listeners.”
