Primarily set at a high-end island resort, the eight-part series follows Nico (Derulo) and Ana (Shipp), a couple whose deep romantic connection is threatened by lies and deception — both from Nico’s covert mission and the skeletons in Ana’s closet.
The first two episodes of “Underwater” will premiere Oct. 31, 2023, on all major podcast platforms. New episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays following the launch.
“Underwater,” produced by Clamor and Temple Hill Entertainment, is described as a “narrative album,” with new, original music from Derulo woven into the story and score.
“As an artist, I’ve always believed that music and storytelling go hand in hand, shaping emotions and connecting people in unique ways. Podcasting provides an opportunity to delve deeper into the storytelling experience, and ‘Underwater’ intertwines new music with all of the drama, thrills and romance of the story itself,” Derulo said in a statement. “Interval Presents is the perfect partner because of their deep roots in music and expertise as an established podcast powerhouse. They share in my vision of merging artistry and narrative to create a truly immersive and unforgettable experience for listeners.”
Shipp commented, “Delving into the world of audio storytelling has been an exciting new chapter for me. I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the immensely talented Jason Derulo as well as the teams at Clamor, Temple Hill and Interval Presents, to bring this project to life. I can’t wait for listeners to immerse themselves in the world of ‘Underwater’ and experience the power of this thrilling romantic series.”
