Apple TV+ announces Apple Original Podcast “Unicorn Girl,” premiering August 18

Apple TV+ announced “Unicorn Girl”, a new Apple Original Podcast that tells the story of influencer and businesswoman Candace Rivera, who portrayed herself online as a “superwoman,” while hiding a darker truth behind-the-scenes. Hosted and created by award-winning journalist and broadcaster Charlie Webster (“Scamanda”), the nine-episode series will debut on August 18, 2025.

The podcast series follows Rivera, a woman who seemed to have it all and a “perfect” life. After a messy divorce, she launched multimillion-dollar businesses and a global nonprofit, all while maintaining a flawless image to her many online “besties.” Rivera was a real-life unicorn, but one manic summer, the illusion shattered. Was she a visionary—or just a master of deception? Webster investigates Rivera’s rise and fall, uncovering a mind-bending story where nothing is quite as it seems.

“Investigating Candace has not been straightforward,” said host Charlie Webster. “I’ve spent many late nights trying to understand what she did and why. This story and Rivera’s victims became personal to me, as I walked alongside them in real time. To be trusted by people who had their trust so deeply destroyed is a privilege and I am honored to tell their stories — and this story the way it deserves to be told.” 

“Unicorn Girl” is a mind-bending nine-part series about a woman who made everyone think magic might just be real.  “Unicorn Girl” is an Apple Original podcast produced by Seven Hills Productions. Follow and listen on Apple Podcasts. http://apple.co/UnicornGirl

Nonsubscribers can access the first two episodes of the nine-episode podcast, with remaining episodes releasing weekly until the finale on October 6, 2025.
