Jeffrey Epstein might go down as one of the most controversial figures in recent American history for his infamous Epstein Files. The Files in question, which are millions of documents tracking Epstein and his acquaintances' activities across the years, are a rabbit hole of dark and disturbing secrets of some of the big names in the world economy. Epstein, who, along with several of his rich friends and associates, committed several atrocious crimes, will now be the subject of a true crime series.

A limited series has just been announced on Jeffrey Epstein, which is helmed by producer Adam McKay. 

According to Variety, Sony Pictures Television is developing a movie around the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, with Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Laura Dern attached to the project. Dern will also executive produce the series apart from starring in it. Adam McKay's Hyperobject Industries is producing a timely limited series for Sony.

The drama, which is based on the book Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story by Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, will star Dern as the journalist herself. Furthermore, Eileen Myers (The Night Agent, Masters of Sex) and Sharon Hoffman (Mrs. America, Pieces of Her) are co-showrunners and writers.

The project will be executive produced by Hoffman and Myers in collaboration with Brown, Dern, McKay, and Kevin Messick (Hyperobject Industries). Sony is presenting the series to prospective purchasers and is probably going to find bidders for the first scripted adaptation of the Epstein case.

So, with this, almost all the important details about the project are out of the way, and curiosity now remains about the plot of the series.

The details of the show's plot are still under wraps, but according to Sony, the limited series is an explosive story about an investigative reporter who reveals the covert plea agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors. The book and the limited series, both based on Julie K. Brown's experience as a trailblazing reporter for the Miami Herald, chronicle her unrelenting investigation spanning years that led to the arrests of Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. Her efforts identified 80 victims and convinced important survivors to testify against him.  

From what has been revealed, this series about Jeffrey Epstein, starring Laura Dern, will try to show the efforts that went into the conviction of a criminal masquerading as a contributing member of society. Although there are several docuseries available on Epstein and his crimes, this might be the first one to focus on the pathbreaking efforts of Julie K. Brown.
