Hero. Marine.) and Brian Murphy introduced Fault Lines, a contemporary family drama; Ellen Goodlett (Memory Lane, Rule & Rise) who talks about her history-inspired, queer romance show Elixir; and Samit Basu (Chosen Spirits) who introduces his show Nemo, a steampunk anti-hero origin story of Jules Verne's Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

"We organized this event to share our exciting plans for Realm and Realm+ with our biggest fans," explained Realm co-founder and CEO Molly Barton. "The Clone Club helped ORPHAN BLACK hit the top of the fiction podcast charts on Apple Podcasts shortly after it became available, which is why we wanted them to be the first to learn about Season 2. We were also thrilled to have horror legend John Carpenter and film producer Sandy KING Carpenter talk about their upcoming podcasts and share a few details of what fans can expect, along with our great group of diverse, award-winning authors and storytellers like Pia Wilson and Samit Basu who showcased the amazing slate of original shows we will be releasing this year."
