Episode description

This road is not on any map. 

In the shadows of the afterlife, where time stands still, the Ferryman of souls guides America's most influential spirits to their eternal rest. Here, the price of passage isn't coin or gold, but something far more precious—their stories. These are tales of triumph and tragedy, moments that shook the foundations of the nation and the ripples they left behind. 

Join us on a journey through the veils of history and the corridors of the afterlife, where the souls of America's past reveal their deepest secrets and their most profound legacies. Each episode, a new spirit, a new story, a new revelation about the threads that weave the tapestry of American culture. These are the tales that shaped the nation.  

Welcome to The Passage.

Created by Dan Bush (Tomorrow’s Monsters, The Mantawauk Caves) and writer, Nicholas Tecosky, and a co-production of iHeartPodcasts, and Psychopia Pictures, The Passage is a riveting, immersive anthology. Starring Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, The Walking Dead) as the Ferryman, and featuring performances by Wes Studi (The Last of the Mohicans / Geronimo: An American Legend), Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks / Silicon Valey), Tristan Mack Wilds (The Wire / Red Tails), and Scott Haze (Child of God / Jurassic World Dominion).
