On today's episode of the Awards Tour podcast, Rotten Tomatoes Awards Editor Jacqueline Coley sits down with Riz Ahmed to talk about creating, producing, and starring in the Prime Video series 'Bait.'

Ahmed opens up about the inspiration behind the show, receiving the blessing of James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, and why 'Bait' may be the most personal story he has brought to the screen. He also reflects on the show’s universal themes, the emotional reactions from fans of all backgrounds, and how audiences are connecting with his on-screen family.

Later, Ahmed revisits some of his acclaimed, award-winning work and teases what fans can expect from 'Digger,' the upcoming Tom Cruise-starring project directed by Alejandro Iñárritu.
