Scoop (2024, available April 5)

“An hour of television can change anything” says Billie Piper in the trailer for the biographical drama Scoop, based on Prince Andrew’s infamous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. The official Scoop description reads: “The eyes of Britain were on journalist Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson) as she grilled the royal (Rufus Sewell) about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The fallout was immediate, as Prince Andrew announced that he was stepping back from his public duties in the days following the broadcast.” Directed by Philip Martin, Scoop also stars Keeley Hawes, Connor Swindells, Romola Garai, and Charity Wakefield.
