Wondery Announces True Crime Miniseries Don’t Cross Kat, Hosted by Award-Winning Brazilian Journalist Chico Felitti

Today, Wondery announce Don’t Cross Kat, a gripping new true crime miniseries hosted by acclaimed Brazilian journalist and storyteller Chico Felitti. Based on the hit Brazilian podcast A Coach, Don’t Cross Kat follows one woman’s journey to find her missing best friend who has fallen under the dangerous influence of a modern-day online guru. The series debuts on Wondery+ on March 17 and everywhere you get your podcasts weekly starting March 31.

Don’t Cross Kat joins a growing lineup of podcasts from Wondery that explore the dark underbelly of human behavior and online influence, including Fed Up, Scamfluencers, and Scam Factory. In this latest series, listeners are introduced to Kat Torres, an influencer who is wealthy, stunning, and unafraid to flaunt it. Her posts about witchcraft and “alien baths” attract millions of followers, but as her audience grows, so do the dark secrets behind her fame. When one woman sets out to find her missing friend who has fallen under Kat’s spell and relocated to Texas to become a follower, she is soon put on a collision course with the influencer herself. For those who might already be familiar with Kat Torres and her story, this series opens up new layers to the plot that audiences have never heard before.

Chico Felitti, the journalist who first broke the story of Kat Torres’ schemes in Brazil, guides listeners through a tale of influence, control, and those who dare to fight back. His other podcasting credits include A Mulher da Casa Abondonada, Latin America’s most successful narrative podcast in history, with five million downloads per episode. A two-time finalist for the Jabuti Prize, Brazil’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize, Felitti’s work is known for its captivating storytelling and thorough investigative approach.

“This story is about more than a disappearance—it’s about the complexities of human relationships and the power of the internet to both connect and divide us,” said Felitti. “I’m thrilled to bring this gripping tale to a global audience with Wondery.”

Don’t Cross Kat is a Wondery production.
