AppleTV+ has launched a non-fiction podcast series about a controversial war crimes story ahead of the premiere of a doc series.
The streamer is launching The Line, which tells the story of U.S. Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher who was charged with committing war crimes, before ultimately being acquitted on all but one count—for posing in a photo with a corpse.
The six-part audio series is hosted by Dan Taberski, host of the Missing Richard Simmons podcast. Its first two episodes launched today, April 6.
It will be followed by a four-part doc series premiering later this fall.
Both series will examine the complicated realities involved with fighting a decades-long war, stripping back the layers surrounding Gallagher’s alleged crimes.
The podcast employs exclusive investigative reporting, one-on-one interviews with Gallagher and his wife, and access to over 50 current and former special operators, giving listeners an inside understanding of the psychological...

Apple TV Plus announced “The Line,” its first combination podcast-tv original — a bid to exploit the tech giant’s podcast footprint to seed signups for its TV subscription service.
“The Line,” from Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions, comprises two non-fiction series: a six-part narrative non-fiction audio series that debuted Monday (April 6) on Apple Podcasts and a four-part limited documentary series premiering this fall on Apple TV Plus.
The pair of original series promises to reveal “previously untold aspects” about the story of former Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher, who in 2018 was charged with committing war crimes after he had posed for a photo with a corpse in Iraq. Members of his platoon had broken ranks and accused Gallagher of murder; he was ultimately being acquitted on all but one minor count and in the fall of 2019 was pardoned by President Trump.
