  • A television series based on the investigation into pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein is reportedly in development.
  • The show will be based on Miami Herald journalist Julie K Brown’s book, Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story, with Laura Dern set to star as Brown.
  • Adam McKay, known for films like The Big Short, is attached as an executive producer, and Sony Pictures Television is seeking a buyer for the project.
  • The series will follow Brown’s relentless investigation, which exposed Epstein’s secret plea deal, identified 80 victims, and led to the arrests of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Democrats on the House Oversight Committee recently demanded answers from the Department of Justice after Brown’s flight details from 2019 were found in Epstein’s files.
