Cross Kat is The Wondery's new true crime miniseries hosted by acclaimed Brazilian journalist and storyteller Chico Felitti.
Based on the hit Brazilian podcast A-Coach, Don't Cross Cat follows the journey of one woman to find her missing best friend who has fallen into the dangerous impact of modern online gurus.
The series explores Cat Torres, a wealthy, stunning influencer who isn't afraid to show off it.
Her posts about magic and “Alien Bass” attract millions of followers, but so do the dark secrets behind her fame as her audience grows.
When a woman moves to Texas to become a follower in an attempt to find her missing friend who has fallen into a Cat spell, she is quickly placed on a collision course with the influencer herself.
For those who may already be familiar with Cat Torres and her story, the series opens up a new layer in a plot that audiences have never heard of before.
Chico Felitti, the journalist who first broke the story of Cat Torres's plan in Brazil, tells the story of this influence, control and those trying to fight back. He is a two-time finalist for the Jabti Award, the equivalent of the Brazilian Pulitzer Prize. Felitti's work is known for his fascinating storytelling and in-depth research approach.
“This story is more than a loss of failure. It's about the complexity of relationships and the power of the internet to connect and divide us,” Felitti said. “We are excited to bring this fascinating story together with Fundaly to a global audience.”
Cross Kat will be released exclusively on Wondery+ Today on Monday, March 17th, and get the podcast on March 31st.
