JAY SERIAL PODCAST CHARACTER TRIAL
This week, Adnan was granted a new trial by the court system, two years after the podcast began. As Serial outlined, there is certainly evidence that supports his claim of wrongful conviction. The Baltimore Area teenager convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 2000, Syed has doggedly maintained his innocence since day of his conviction. 16 Adnan Syed (High School) - Dev PatelĪdnan is the protagonist of the first season Serial, as much as the podcast had one. This is our Dream Cast of Serial, the film. We have Adnan Syed as an adult and high school student, the rest of the characters are cast as their age at the time of the crime.
JAY SERIAL PODCAST CHARACTER SERIAL
Note: we are casting a film as if it were told in a similar fashion to Serial season one. Given the news this week that Adnan Syed is going to get a new trial, we thought it was the perfect time to Cast A Serial Movie. The “characters” of Serial are all real people, who are related in one way or another to a terrible tragedy, so we want to make sure that the actors we chose are faithful representations of who the individuals involved were, as framed by the podcast. Nothing solid is in the works, but that won’t stop us from dreaming up a cast of our own. Naturally, film studios showed immediate interest in the rights to Serial after the stunning success of its first season. Instead, the team behind the reporting fully fleshed out each person's story, making each of them sympathetic characters in a disturbing real-life mystery. If Serial had framed its principles as woody archetypes, or relied solely on by-the numbers descriptions of those involved, audience investment would have suffered. The premise of the plot is simple – a girl was murdered and a man is in jail, but someone in this story isn’t telling the truth. What pushed Serial over the edge were the characters involved, and the way Sarah Koenig and the rest of the podcast’s team truly brought them to life. The storytelling and the remarkable reporting of Serial are exemplary within the true crime genre, regardless of medium. A fifteen-year-old murder mystery became water cooler fodder through clever, thorough storytelling. For the first time in the medium's history, there was a podcast made for compulsory listening. Podcasting existed in a cultural niche - “Hey, do you listen to this podcast? Me too!” - from the time of its inception, until the very moment that Seriallaunched.
