Madam Ram will follow the impressive rise of Georgia Frontiere, from aspiring opera singer and showgirl to a trailblazing NFL owner. Inheriting the LA Rams after the sudden death of her sixth husband, Frontiere defies expectations by leading the franchise to Super Bowl success. Eccentric and fearless, she expertly navigated a male-dominated world during a time when people didn’t believe women had a place in football. Loved, hated, and endlessly controversial, her story is one of ambition, power, scandal, and a relentless quest for respect and legacy.
LuckyChap brought the property to QCode, which has a history of initiating projects as podcasts before they go on to be made for the screen. Madam Ram seems to have all the ingredients for a fun screen adaptation and we hear there is at least interest from some of the players involved.
“Audiences can expect an epic, wild ride, filled with drama, suspense and larger-than-life characters who will keep you on the edge of your seats,” said Rosenfarb.
“We’re thrilled to step into the podcast world with this project. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, filled with collaboration, creativity, and fresh insights. Working alongside such talent including Toni, Gary, Michelle and Tyne has been truly inspiring. We are excited to expand our storytelling into the audio space with Madam Ram,” said Sophia Kerr of LuckyChap.
Toni Collette added: “I’m actually proud of this podcast. I’ve never done one before, and it was a really interesting process. The story of Georgia’s life is a wild ride, and a fun listen. I hope people like it!”
“Georgia Frontiere is one of the great dames of the 20th Century and Michelle did such a beautiful and creative job telling her story in collaboration with Toni who brought her so vividly to life. The podcast format was perfect for realizing our ambitions for Georgia and I’m grateful to Tyne and Q Code for patiently teaching us how it’s done,” commented producer Elizabeth Cantillon.
The series will premiere Monday, February 24th on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other major platforms.
Film vet Cantillon most recently served as executive producer with Scott Free on Fede Alvarez’s Alien Romulus. The longtime Sony Pictures exec also was executive producer with Mad Chance on the update of Jane Austen’s Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson for Netflix.
