Legal and true crime network Law&Crime has announced the first installment of its podcast slate for 2025, LUIGI, available exclusively on Wondery+ and produced in collaboration with Wheelhouse’s Twist Media. From the producer and writer of the smash-hit The Rise & Fall of Ruby Franke and KAREN, and hosted by Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber, LUIGI is an exploration of a uniquely American moment that has further expanded the cultural divide, marked by the unprecedented public response to the cold-blooded killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City.

All episodes of LUIGI will be available exclusively on Wondery+ starting on March 24th.

In a case that has captured headlines since December of last year, authorities claim 26-year-old Luigi Mangione took an Ivy League education and significant planning to make a fatal statement about the rising cost of healthcare in America by allegedly shooting Thompson on his way to an investors’ meeting. Law&Crime invites listeners into a thorough journey through the five-day interstate manhunt for the alleged extremist, all while also provoking reflection on the rampant and polarizing network of TikToken-driven supporters who rose up around him in the aftermath.

Over the course of 4 initial episodes, LUIGI offers listeners legal insight into the still unfolding case that has already been dubbed the trial of the decade, while also exploring its position within a heated national conversation on corporate power and class divide. Through all-new court documents and key interviews with attorneys, analysts, investigators and others close to the case, LUIGI captures a culture at its tipping point and brings together the two divergent narratives that have exploded online: Mangione as a suspected calculated monster, versus a vocal internet discourse that has rallied in support of the #FreeLuigi movement.

LUIGI is the first of six Law&Crime-produced podcasts to be released on Wondery+ in 2025. Last year The Rise of and Fall of Ruby Franke hit the #1 spot in true crime on Apple Podcasts and has amassed nearly 5 million downloads to date.
