This eight-part series focuses on The Big Fix the story of Chavez Ravine, premiering April 24, 2025
Audible and Fresh Produce Media are bringing back The Big Lie with a new eight-part installment titled The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery. Created by John Mankiewicz and directed by Aaron Lipstadt, this gripping audio drama stars Jon Hamm as private investigator Jack Bergin, navigating corruption and displacement in 1950s Los Angeles. The new season debuts exclusively from Audible on Thursday, April 24.
This standalone story transports listeners back to 1957, where they’ll be reacquainted with Jack Bergin (Hamm), now L.A.’s hottest private investigator, who suddenly finds himself entangled in a web of power, corruption, and murder that reaches the highest levels of Los Angeles’ government and elite.
As Bergin investigates a brutal murder at the request of an old flame (De La Reguera), he uncovers a deadly conspiracy to forcefully evict a Mexican-American community to capitalize on the land around the Brooklyn Dodgers’ new home. Set in the aftermath of the real-life Chavez Ravine evictions – an oft-forgotten, dark moment in L.A. history with very real modern-day relevance – this timely audio drama from Audible and Fresh Produce will immerse listeners in the gritty underbelly of a city on the cusp of transformation, where the price of progress may be more than anyone is willing to pay. The cast includes returning stars La Reguera and John Slattery, alongside newcomers Alia Shawkat, Omar Epps, Taylor Zakhar Perez, among others.
“Returning to Jack Bergin’s world for The Big Fix has been an incredible experience, and collaborating once again with John Mankiewicz is truly a privilege,” said Hamm. “This season explores a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter in 1950s Los Angeles history, and I’m proud to be part of bringing it to light.”
“With The Big Fix, we’re diving deeper into a complicated period of American history, the Brooklyn Dodgers move to Los Angeles,” said Executive Producer Mankiewicz.
The series is written by Mankiewicz, Jamie Napoli, Daniel Pyne, Katie Pyne, and Aaron Lipstadt and executive produced by Mankiewicz, Jon Hamm, Alia Shawkat, Jason Ross, Colin Moore, Pyne, and Lipstadt.
Season one of The Big Lie is available on Audible, with The Big Fix premiering exclusively on Audible on April 24, 2025.
