‘Scoop’ Trailer: Gillian Anderson Stars In Netflix’s Infamous Prince Andrew BBC Interview Drama Series In April

“An hour of television can change everything” is the tagline of the new Netflix series “Scoop,” which dramatizes and is inspired by the true events surrounding the disastrous BBC Newsnight interview with British royal family member Prince Andrew. The streaming giant has released a new trailer for “Scoop,” and it showcases the tension/drama as the British media attempts to get to the bottom of allegations of Prince Andrew’s (now on the outs with Buckingham Palace) sexual assault of underage girls and his longtime connections/relationship to the late American criminal pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew attempted to defend himself, but his bizarre linkage to Epstein with his haphazard answers only led to even more questions about his non-public activities. The series stars Gillian Anderson (“The Crown,” “Sex Education”) as interviewer Emily Maitlis, Keeley Hawes (“Bodyguard”), Billie Piper (“Secret Diary of A Call Girl”), Romola Garai (“The Hour”), and Rufus Sewell (“The Man In The High Castle”) as the infamous Prince Andrew.

Here is the show’s official synopsis provided by Netflix:

Inspired by real events, “Scoop” is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earth-shattering interview – Prince Andrew’s (Sewell) infamous BBC Newsnight appearance. From the tension of producer Sam McAlister’s (Piper) high-stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way to Emily Maitlis’ (Anderson) jaw-dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, “Scoop” takes us inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it.

The show’s director is veteran British filmmaker director Philip Martin (“Prime Suspect,” “The Crown”), and the scripts are by Peter Moffat and Geoff Bussetil.

“Scoop” will be available to stream on April 5, and you can watch that series trailer below.
