THE next chapter of FX’s “American Crime Story” will dramatize Bill Clinton’s impeachment with a focus on Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp and other women central to the scandal.

The miniseries will air within weeks of the 2020 presidential election.

Lewinsky, who was a White House intern when she had an affair with Clinton, will be a producer on the project, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said in announcing the project at a Television Critics Association meeting Tuesday. Clinton initially denied the affair before admitting to it in 1998.

“American Crime Story” producers, including Ryan Murphy, have brought nuance and perspective to events dramatized in the series’ previous installments, “The People v. O.J. Simpson” and “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” Landgraf said.

Lewinsky’s involvement is evidence of the quality of the material and the “vibrancy of this sort of revisionist history that that material can provide now,” he said. Asked about FX’s standards for fact-checking, he expressed confidence that there would be a careful filter on the project’s accuracy.

In a statement to Vanity Fair magazine published online Tuesday, Lewinsky said her initial hesitation at joining the project was overcome after Murphy demonstrated “how dedicated he is to giving a voice to the marginalized in all of his brilliant work.”

The miniseries is based on a 1999 book by Jeffrey Toobin, “A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President.”
