NEW YORK – AUGUST 14, 2025 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, Universal Television (UTV) and Wolf Entertainment today announced the return of their unscripted true-crime podcast series “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System.” The first two episodes of the 10-episode season will premiere on Thursday, August 21, 2025, with subsequent episodes available weekly. 

Listeners can follow “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” and listen to the second season trailer now on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are available. Listeners can tune in to the complete first season here.

“We’re thrilled to continue building the Law & Order brand in audio with another season of ‘Law & Order: Criminal Justice System’, telling the stories that have shaped our criminal justice system today,” said Executive Producer Elliot Wolf. “It’s been a pleasure working with iHeart, UTV, and Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi who share our vision of delivering an exceptional storytelling experience with audio, which is exactly what this series does.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to continue our partnership with Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television to bring listeners season two of ‘Law & Order: Criminal Justice System,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “This podcast series is a fan favorite and we look forward to diving deeper into more cases that have shaped our criminal justice system.”

Hosted by former Brooklyn homicide prosecutor Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi, the second season of “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” will dive into the creation of the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF.) In December of 1975, a massive explosion tore through the TWA baggage claim area at LaGuardia Airport in New York City, killing eleven and injuring more than seventy. As the smoke cleared, survivors desperately searched for loved ones. It was at that moment America realized the threat of terrorism on its own soil was real.

The LaGuardia Airport bombing marked a turning point. It triggered a fundamental shift in how New York City and the nation approached terrorism—leading to the creation of the JTTF and transforming counter-terrorism efforts in the U.S. This season will explore the JTTF’s formation amid a city grappling with rising crime and the lingering shadow of organized crime. Nicolazzi will dive into the task force’s early days, its growing pains, and the landmark cases that defined its mission—from investigating LaGuardia to confronting international and domestic threats.

Executive Producer Elliot Wolf has served as an executive producer for the award-winning audio fiction series "Dark Woods”, which is now being developed into a scripted television series by Universal Television. He also executive produced the chart-topping hit podcast series' “Eavesdropper”, “Hunted,” and "Aftermath: Hunt for the Anthrax Killer".

WHAT: iHeartPodcasts, the No.1 podcast publisher globally today announced a new iHeart original podcast “Hoax!,” a half-comedy, half-history deep dive into the wildest pranks, cons and scams in history.                

Hosted by bestselling author and “Noble Blood” creator Dana Schwartz and journalist Lizzie Logan, “Hoax!” will explore the most bizarre and unbelievable pranks and hoaxes throughout history – from the Victorian age to modern day stunts. In the premiere episode “Cottingley Fairies,” Schwartz and Logan dig into the 1920 story behind two young girls who believed they photographed fairies at a creek behind their England home. Many were skeptical, but when the photos were circulated, they found an unlikely champion in renowned author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who believed the photo was proof of supernatural phenomena. The hosts investigate the story and how the man who invented literature’s most prolific detective “Sherlock Holmes,” fell for what was later discovered to be nothing more than a photographic fairy tale made up by two young girls.

Future episodes will cover famous pranks including the fake Shakespeare, Balloon Boy hoax, major cons, grifts and the cultural chaos they caused.

“Hoax!” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts.
