According to the description, the three-part series, written by Jeremy Brock, follows Emily Maitlis' (Wilson) professional and personal journey as a Newsnight journalist, leading to her critically acclaimed interview with Prince Andrew (Sheen).
Sheen (pictured left) can currently be seen in the Prime Video series Good Omens. His other notable credits include Prodigal Son, Quiz (UK) and Masters of Sex.
Wilson (pictured right) is perhaps best known for her starring role in the Showtime drama The Affair and can currently be seen in Showtime's gothic thriller drama series The Woman in the Wall.
The cast also includes Joanna Scanlan (No Offense) as Amanda Thirsk, Alex Jennings (The Crown) as Sir Edward Young and Éanna Hardwicke (Fate: The Winx Saga) as Stewart Maclean.
Julian Jarrold (This England) directs the series, which is produced by Blueprint Television for Amazon MGM Studios and distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television. Karen Thrussell, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Diarmuid McKeown, Jeremy Brock, Jarrold and Maitlis himself are the executive producers. Josh Hyams is a producer of the series.
Prince Andrew was forced to withdraw from public life in the wake of the 2019 interview, in which he failed to apologize for his friendship with Epstein, showed no compassion for Epstein's victims and refuted the claims against him in several ways - by revealing that he had been in a Pizza Express on the night he was said to have been in a London nightclub with Epstein's Virginia Guiffre, and that he had a condition that prevented him from sweating, as was also claimed.
Deadline's sister site Variety was the first to report the news.
