Lion Television has been commissioned to produce a landmark doc about Jeffrey Epstein for Channel 4, presented by Emily Maitlis, with All3Media International handling global distribution.
Maitlis is the award-winning journalist who interviewed then-Prince Andrew about his links to Epstein. The doc promises “unprecedented access, explosive testimony and forensic analysis of the documents, networks and powerful individuals connected to Epstein’s decades-long criminal operation.”
“The Jeffrey Epstein story is an exposure of how power protects itself, how wealth distorts justice, and how abuse can be hidden in plain sight for decades, said Louisa Compton, head of news and current affairs, specialist factual and sport at Channel 4. “This series will confront the uncomfortable truth at the heart of the case: what it reveals about the world we live in, and who it is designed to serve. Emily Maitlis, whose interview with the former Prince Andrew became one of the defining moments in the public reckoning with the Epstein case, is the perfect person to lead this investigation.”
“With Emily at the helm, audiences can expect rigorous, fearless journalism—the Epstein story, finally told in full,” said Daniel Pearl, EP and creative director at All3Media-owned Lion Television.
