Dern is set to star in the drama, which based on Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown’s book Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story. The Ocsar and Emmy winner will play Brown in the series. Sharon Hoffman (Mrs. America, Pieces of Her) is writing and will serve as co-showrunner with Eileen Myers (The Night Agent, Masters of Sex).
Hoffman and Myers will executive produce the project with Dern, McKay and Kevin Messick for Hyperobject Industries, and Brown. Sony is taking the series to potential buyers — and will likely find bidders for the first scripted take on the Epstein case.
