Glass Entertainment Group Adapting Betrayal Podcast for TV

Glass Entertainment Group (GEG) is set to adapt its new podcast Betrayal into a television series.

Betrayal tells the story of TV producer Jenifer Faison, whose picture-perfect marriage suddenly breaks down after her husband of seven years is arrested for the continued sexual assault of a student. Produced by Glass Podcasts, Betrayal launched in April and climbed to become the top podcast in America across such platforms as Apple and Spotify.

The podcast delves into the case of convicted sexual predator and two-time Kell High School “Teacher of the Year” Spencer Herron, who pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual assault of a former student. Presently serving six concurrent sentences, Herron’s crimes began when the sexual assault victim was in high school. Interviewing the now 21-year-old college student who survived numerous sexual assaults at the hands of her husband, Faison attempts to learn about the man she thought she loved.

Faison also investigates Herron’s double life, which fueled more than a dozen affairs with friends, neighbors and strangers, dating back to the week they were married. Throughout the podcast, she pieces together evidence, including texts, photos and letters from prison. She speaks with friends, family and several of the other women Herron was intimately involved with, some of whom she knew personally. Faison even speaks to Spencer himself.

Nancy Glass, CEO of Glass Entertainment Group, said: “When we heard Jenifer’s story, we knew it had to be told. If someone as accomplished as her can be fooled, it can happen to anyone. Our podcast team, Andrea Gunning, Ben Fetterman and Carrie Hartman, worked with Jenifer to craft a compelling series. Jennifer’s willingness to talk to the women involved and to confront her husband was incredibly brave and revealing. This is an active story that we know will translate into riveting television.”
