Laura Dern Set For Jeffrey Epstein TV Series
Laura Dern is attached to star in a Sony Pictures Television limited series project about the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The project is based on the book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” by Miami Herald journalist Julie K. Brown, with Dern set to play Brown as well as executive produce.
The story is described as “an explosive account of an investigative reporter exposing the secret plea deal between Epstein and federal prosecutors. The series follows her relentless years-long investigation that identified 80 victims, persuaded key survivors to go on the record, and led to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrests.”
Epstein spent years operating a high-profile sex trafficking ring involving some of the most powerful and influential people on earth.
Eileen Myers (“Masters of Sex,” “American Hostage”) and Sharon Hoffman (“Mrs. America,” “House of Cards”) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers with Hoffman adapting the book.
Brown, Adam McKay and Kevin Messick will also executive produce. If it goes forward, it would be the first scripted series about the Epstein case after years of documentary films and series.
