" The three-part series revolves around the disastrous interview of Prince Andrew with Newsnight's Emily Maitlis, in which he addressed his controversial friendship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Currently in production in the UK, the series offers a fascinating glimpse into Maitlis' professional and personal journey, culminating in her acclaimed interview with the prince.

Written by Jeremy Brock, "A Very Royal Scandal" promises to captivate audiences with its intricate portrayal of Maitlis, played by Ruth Wilson, as she navigates the world of journalism and the challenges that come with unearthing the truth. Michael Sheen takes on the role of Prince Andrew, portraying the prince's much-scrutinized interview with conviction and grace.

The stellar cast assembled for the series includes Joanna Scanlan as Amanda Thirsk, Alex Jennings as Sir Edward Young, and Éanna Hardwicke as Stewart Maclean. Under the direction of Julian Jarrold, known for his work on "The Crown," the series is being produced by Blueprint Television for Amazon MGM Studios, and will be distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television.

Karen Thrussell, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Diarmuid McKeown, Jeremy Brock, Jarrold, and Emily Maitlis herself serve as executive producers, ensuring a comprehensive and authentic portrayal of the events surrounding the scandal. Additionally, Josh Hyams is onboard as a producer for the series.

Prince Andrew's ill-fated interview with Newsnight in 2019 led to his withdrawal from public life. His lack of accountability regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, coupled with his apparent disregard for Epstein's victims, left a lasting impact. During the interview, Prince Andrew attempted to refute the allegations against him, offering explanations such as having been at a Pizza Express on the night in question and his claim of a condition preventing him from sweating.

With Sheen's recent work on Prime Video's "Good Omens" and his notable credits in "Prodigal Son," "Quiz," and "Masters of Sex," viewers can expect a compelling performance from the acclaimed actor. Ruth Wilson, renowned for her role in Showtime's "The Affair" and most recently appearing in the gothic thriller drama series "The Woman in the Wall," adds her undeniable talent to the cast.

As production for "A Very Royal Scandal" continues, fans eagerly await the series, looking forward to an in-depth exploration of the events surrounding Prince Andrew's tumultuous interview and the journalists caught in the center of this gripping tale.
