Sony Pictures Television is shopping a project about the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein with Laura Dern attached to star, Variety has learned.

The limited series is based on the book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” by Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald journalist who put a renewed spotlight on Epstein and his crimes. Dern will star in the series as Brown.

The official description of the series describes it as “an explosive account of an investigative reporter exposing the secret plea deal between Epstein and federal prosecutors. Drawing from Brown’s experience as a groundbreaking reporter for the Miami Herald, the book and the limited series follow her relentless years-long investigation that identified 80 victims, persuaded key survivors to go on the record, and led to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrests.”
