You may remember over the summer when we announced that a new Spotify Original podcast, The Last Degree of Kevin Bacon, starring Kevin Bacon as himself, was in the works. Well, the highly anticipated comedy series is nearly here, with the first two episodes dropping Monday, February 17, only on Spotify. Can’t wait? You can listen to the trailer right now.
Produced by Funny Or Die and created by Dan Abramson, the comedy podcast tells the story of washed-up actor Randy Beslow, who’s spent 30 years blaming Kevin Bacon for missing out on the lead role of Footloose. After hitting rock bottom, Beslow decides to hunt down his celebrity nemesis. But in a twist neither of them saw coming, he accidently becomes Bacon’s new assistant and possible BFF. What happens next? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
Part fiction and part alternative reality, a star-studded cast including actors Kyra Sedgwick, Matt Walsh, and Lamorne Morris joins Kevin Bacon for a podcast you won’t want to miss. Check out a preview in the video below.
The Last Degree of Kevin Bacon trailer is available now on Spotify. The series launches Monday, February 17, only on Spotify.
The six degrees of Kevin Bacon just expanded into a whole new medium: podcasting. Spotify’s newest original podcast, I’m Gonna Be Kevin Bacon, produced by Funny or Die and created by Dan Abramson, stars the prolific actor as himself (sort of) in a new 12-episode comedy show—coming soon exclusively on Spotify.
Part fiction, part alternative reality, and completely unlike any podcast you’ve streamed before, I’m Gonna Be Kevin Bacon opens on a washed-up actor, Randy Beslow, 30 years after the release of Footloose, Bacon’s first starring role. Beslow has spent all that time lamenting his loss of the part of Ren to the one and only Kevin Bacon, and blaming the actor for how his life turned out. (Spoiler: Not well). After hitting rock bottom, Beslow snaps and embarks on a mission to hunt down Kevin Bacon and exact revenge.
Throughout Beslow’s journey, he encounters a cast of characters—both fictional and real-life people playing fictionalized versions of themselves—including Bacon, who plays a version of himself as well.
Coming on the heels of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground podcast announcement, I’m Gonna Be Kevin Bacon is reflective of the vast, eclectic, and expanding global slate of original audio content on Spotify. Like all Spotify podcasts, the show will be available to 217 million+ listeners in 79 markets on day one—so stay tuned for the show’s upcoming debut.
