Exclusive: iHeartRadio is doubling down on original scripted podcasts with a dystopian sci-fi series, The Second Oil Age, that is already being set up for a television adaptation.
iHeart’s podcast chief Conal Byrne tells Deadline about the new series as well as deals with Blumhouse, Shonda Rhimes and Will Ferrell as well as his take on the audio landscape.
The company, which has about 850 radio stations in the United States and carries more than 250,000 podcasts on its iHeartRadio Podcast Network with 750 originals, is producing The Second Oil Age in-house after it was created by Stuff To Blow Your Mind host Robert Lamb.
The Second Oil Age is set in 2186, when humanity’s thirst for oil took them to the bottom of the sea and the threshold of an alien civilization. Through a bargain with a deep-sea species known only as the Tritons, people were able to tap previously unreachable oil reserves.

Before Sin City became the playground for twentysomethings and the de facto home for bachelor parties, it was a major operating ground for the mob. And policing the town was sheriff Robert Lamb, a man whose story we follow in the upcoming CBS series "Vegas."
Dennis Quaid stars as Lamb, a cowboy-turned-lawman in the early 1960s. Making his life difficult is Johnny Savino (Michael Chiklis), a Chicago mobster with big, but nefarious, plans. The show also features Jason O'Mara and Carrie-Anne Moss.
The program is set to air on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Et.
So Zappers, do you think "Vegas" will hit the jackpot? Or will it crap out? Check out the behind the scenes footage and let us know what you think.
