“These are meaningful and surprising personal conversations through the prism of reclaiming,” Lewinsky said. “Whether it’s the Sisyphean task of redefining a co-opted narrative, rerecording a music catalogue to reclaim ownership, decluttering a physical space to find freedom, or even a small moment of choosing peace over escalation in a personal argument, the way people reclaim utterly fascinates me. Reclamations can encompass loss, grief, resilience, grace and ultimately triumph. And if you’re lucky, there’s some humor along the way to grease the wheel!”
“Monica Lewinsky is one of the most universally recognized names, and Reclaiming is the next step in her incredible journey to transform her public narrative,” says Marshall Lewy, chief content officer at Wondery. “From the very first time we met, Monica has had such a refreshingly clear vision of what this show wants to be. Audiences are going to discover every week what we have enjoyed in making this show: that Monica is a seeker with a truly unique perspective, who happens also to be disarmingly smart and funny.”Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every daySign up for THR news straight to your inbox every daySubscribe for full access to The Hollywood ReporterSend us a tip using our anonymous form.
