After a fateful meeting abroad, the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo arrives in Paris. Mysterious and tragic happenings quickly follow - threatening the Parisian upper class in unimaginable ways. As star-crossed lovers, scheming sycophants, and ambitious criminals strive for what they think they deserve, questions arise about Paris’ new, fabulously wealthy resident. Not just about why the Count of Monte Cristo has come to Paris, but about the secrets that lurk behind his inscrutable facade. Directed by Chloe Wilson and adapted from Alexandre Dumas’ literary classic, The Count of Monte Cristo’s epic tale of revenge is retold as a fiction podcast with a focus on its one-percenters, scheming social climbers, and the redemptive power of hope.
