Beanie Feldstein, who starred in the recent coming of age film Booksmart, will play Lewinsky, while Annaleigh Ashford has been cast as Paula Jones.
FX chairman John Landgraf announced the series this week.
He said:
"FX’s American Crime Story franchise has become a cultural touchstone, providing greater context for stories that deserve greater understanding like the O.J. Simpson trial and saga, and Andrew Cunanan’s tragic crime spree which concluded with the assassination of Gianni Versace.
"This franchise re-examines some of the most complicated, polarizing stories in recent history in a way that is relevant, nuanced and entertaining," he went on.
"Impeachment: American Crime Story will likewise explore the overlooked dimensions of the women who found themselves caught up in the scandal and political war that cast a long shadow over the Clinton Presidency."
The series will be based on the book, A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President by Jeffrey Toobin.
Toobin also wrote the book Murphy based American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson on, so if that doesn't give you an indication as to how this series is going to go, nothing will.
Impeachment: American Crime Story will premier on September 27, 2020.Explore more on these topics:
