The weekly show, hosted by Ariel Levy of The New Yorker and available widely on podcasting platforms, will look in detail at the case and Mr. Epstein’s connections to the rich and powerful. It will also endeavor to cover any new developments, according to Mr. Davidson, a contributing writer at The New Yorker who was one of the creators of NPR’s “Planet Money” podcast.

“Broken: Jeffrey Epstein” is the first project of Three Uncanny Four, which was formed four months ago. The studio’s original plan for an Epstein project, Mr. Davidson said, had been to “wait awhile,” perhaps tying a series to a trial. That timeline was accelerated after Mr. Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on Aug. 10.

Ms. Mayer, a former producer at WNYC, said one of the goals of the show was to explore the social context of Mr. Epstein’s crimes — the networks of power and money that allowed him to escape justice for so long.

“He’s not the disease,” she said. “He’s a symptom of it.”

Three Uncanny Four is half-owned by Sony Music, which made an undisclosed investment in the company; its remaining 50 percent is owned by Mr. Davidson and Ms. Mayer. The studio, in Brooklyn, plans a slate of five to eight shows by next year.
