Dominic Monaghan (Lost's Charlie) plays Moriarty — and an equation that predicts the end of the world

Charlie Pace had a voice. The Drive Shaft bassist who sang "You All Everybody" and held the mic like a lifeline. On the island that voice saved him, then it lost him. Twenty years later, Dominic Monaghan no longer sings — he performs. On April 30, 2026, Audible released Moriarty: The Great Chaos, the final season of an audio saga in which Monaghan plays the title role. Sherlock Holmes's worst enemy. Except here, he's innocent.

The show's gamble is bold. What if Moriarty wasn't a criminal genius, but a man framed for murder? Created by Charles Kindinger for Treefort Media, the saga began in 2022 with The Devil's Game, then The Silent Order in 2023. Monaghan plays Professor James Moriarty, hunted by Scotland Yard and by Holmes himself, accused of killing his fiancée. Across the series he runs to prove his innocence and find the real killer. The Great Chaos closes the trilogy — and it hits hard. Ben Kingsley joins the cast as Moriarty's father, unearthing the family secrets that haunt his son. Around them: Phil LaMarr as Sherlock Holmes, Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), Adam Godley as Doctor Watson. Earlier seasons drew Helen Mirren and Anya Chalotra. Film-grade talent for a story you listen to with your eyes closed.

The heart of the plot will speak to fans of this console. Moriarty built an equation that can predict the future. It falls into the wrong hands. And it threatens to ignite a global war. An equation that predicts the end — sound familiar? 4-8-15-16-23-42. Valenzetti. The same vertigo: numbers carrying the fate of the world, and men willing to do anything to control them. The Lost thread is clean: Charlie was the man judged on his past — the ex-junkie, the washed-up rocker no one believed could be a hero. He was. "Not Penny's Boat," his hand pressed to the glass, the water rising. Moriarty is the same: a man everyone believes guilty, fighting to show who he really is. And the perfect wink — Billy Boyd, Monaghan's Pippin in The Lord of the Rings and his co-host on The Friendship Onion podcast, plays Colonel Moran at his side. Two friends, once again, back to back against the world.
