Hasan Minhaj Returns As The Riddler For Spotify’s ‘Batman Unburied’ Spin-Off, DC
Hasan Minhaj reprises his role as The Riddler for a spin-off of the popular Spotify and DC audio series, Batman unburied.
The Riddler: Secrets of the Dark will debut exclusively on Spotify later this year. The show, like Batman unburied, was created by David S. Goyer and features recurring characters from the Batman unburied series, though cast for leads like Batman, who was played by Winston Duke in Batman unburied, have not yet been announced.
“Everything you loved Batman unburied — Batman, Riddler, Barbara Gordon and several others — all of these iconic characters return to Gotham City. But this time, instead of Batman saving The Riddler, Batman needs The Riddler to save the Bat from certain death,” Minhaj said in a pre-recorded video posted to Spotify’s Stream On event on Wednesday. “And this time, the Riddler finally gets the spotlight he deserves.”
The Riddler spin-off will serve as Spotify’s third original series, Warner Bros. and DC’s multi-year first-look deal. The most recent series, Harley Quinn and The Joker: sound mind, was released earlier this year and stars Christina Ricci as Harley Quinn and Billy Magnussen as The Joker. The show was created by Eli Horowitz and, like Batman unburied, rose to the top of Spotify’s podcast charts shortly after its release.
Batman unburied will also return for a second season, though the audio giant has not announced a release date.
