Wondery Sets New True Crime Series ‘The Price of Paradise’ About Average British Family Who Bought a Private Island (EXCLUSIVE)


Wonder and Forest Sounds are launching a new U.K. original limited series 'The Price of Paradise' about one family's attempt to buy a private island.

Maria Acosta, a local human rights lawyer, soon launches a legal battle to reclaim the island for Nicaragua’s indigenous population but the story soon evolves into more than just a courtroom drama – ending in kidnap and murder. “‘The Price of Paradise’ is the tale of two women whose dreams collide, in a clash over aspiration and culture, with both resonance and lessons for today,” said Jessica Radburn, head of international podcast content at Wondery. The series, which launches April 22 on all major podcast platforms, is the latest in Wondery’s U.K. original content slate, including “Ghost Story,” “The Spy Who” and “Hooked on Freddie.”
