In an alternate universe, Black Widow is alive and well—and possibly retired. In the new scripted podcast series Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow, our favorite Russian spy returns to action for listeners.

The popular podcast series is in its third installment, following Marvel’s Wastelanders: Star-Lord and Marvel’s Wastelanders: Hawkeye.

The story beings almost 30 years after The Day the Villains Won (aka V-Day), when Helen Black arrives at her new apartment in The Onar, a 161-story apartment complex in what used to be Midtown Manhattan. Owned and operated by S.H.I.E.L.D., The Onar has become the very embodiment of the dystopic wealth and inequality that’s engulfed New York City ever since V-Day. A collection of uber-rich families, including the media magnate Burge family, occupy the opulent penthouses in the DecaDomes, The Onar’s highest ten stories. Helen Blak’s apartment is located in the much more humble “100 Block.” When her nosy neighbor Dr. Brian Mizuno asks Helen (through the paper-thin walls) what brought her here, she cryptically alludes to “problems with an ex.”

On the same day that Helen moves into her apartment, Lisa Cartwright reports for her first day as a Junior Residential Security Analyst for Panopticog Solutions, a private security company hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. to monitor the residents of The Onar (without their knowledge or consent). Lisa is assigned to surveil Helen’s corner of The 100 Block and quickly discovers that Helen Black is not at all who she says she is.

The series stars Susan Sarandon as Helen Black with additional performances by Eva Amurri, Nate Corddry, Amber Gray, Melissa Gilbert, Chasten Harmon, Michael Imperioli, and Justin Kirk. The scripted podcast is written by Alex Delyle (Fear the Walking Dead) and directed by Timothy Busfield (The West Wing). The sound design and original music is by Daniel Brunelle (The Two Princes).

The 10-episode series is initially available on SXM App and Marvel Podcasts Unlimited on Apple Podcasts. It’ll be available one week later on Pandora, Stitcher, and all other major podcast platforms.
