Calling all American Crime Story fans! With two more seasons of Ryan Murphy’s highly-successful series already in the works after The People vs. O.J. Simpson, it has been confirmed that the series is taking on another shocking scandal—the one surrounding Monica Lewinsky.
It has been reported that the FX series will tackle President Bill Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, which took place in the mid-’90s. Jeffrey Toobin’s book, The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, provided the foundation for the first season of the award-winning series, and another book written by the author, titled A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President, has been obtained by Murphy. The book details the affair and Clinton’s impeachment on the charges of lying under oath and obstruction of justice.
Toobin was “deeply involved” and was a consultant to the writing staff during The People vs. O.J. Simpson season, according to The Hollywood Reporter, so we’re sure that this Lewinsky scandal-themed season will be just as compelling as the first.
