Wondery+ unveils a multi-title content distribution deal with Law&Crime Productions, a legal and true crime audio content. Wondery+ will serve as the launch destination for a slate of six upcoming new Law&Crime originals. Each podcast will feature unprecedented courtroom coverage of trials currently in the zeitgeist, and will be available exclusively on Wondery+ for 90-days before releasing wide.

Curated by ABC News Chief Legal Correspondent Dan Abrams, Law&Crime boasts a multi-platform audience spanning digital, cable and social media. With over 5 million subscribers and 3 billion video views on their YouTube channel alone, Law&Crime is a force in the legal and true crime content space. The first podcast, "The Rise and Fall of Ruby Franke," will follow the case of the former family YouTube vlogger charged with multiple counts of child abuse, and is slated to launch on Wondery+ on February 19, the day prior to Franke's sentencing.

"Wondery+ is dedicated to delivering premium content to our subscribers, and this partnership with Law&Crime exemplifies our commitment to providing an exclusive and ad-free podcast listening experience," stated Wondery Head of Product, Data and Tech Neel Ketkar. "We are thrilled to serve as the premiere subscription service for Law&Crime's exceptional lineup of upcoming new podcasts, creating a theatrical-release atmosphere for our devoted fans by providing exclusive series they can't get anywhere else."

"We're thrilled to continue working with Wondery+ to bring an exciting slate of podcasts to true crime fans everywhere," said Rachel Stockman, President of Law&Crime. "Beginning with the Ruby Franke case, we've lined up the top legal cases that will keep Wondery subscribers on the edge of their seats."
