The cast has been announced for a new Netflix drama about Prince Andrew's bombshell interview with Newsnight in 2019. The feature-film, which is called Scoop, is based on Newsnight producer Sam McAllister's memoir about how the shock interview with the royal came to be.
Production has now started on the film, which sees Sex Education's Gillian Anderson play journalist Emily Maitlis and The Holiday star Rufus Sewell take on the role of King Charles III's brother, Prince Andrew. In addition, Keeley Hawes will play Amanda Thirsk, the former Private Secretary to Prince Andrew while Billie Piper is Sam McAlister.
Scoop will follow the inside track of the women that broke through the Buckingham Palace establishment to secure the scoop of the decade, which led to the fall from grace of The Queen’s ‘favourite son'. The story was previously adapted into a Channel 4 musical last year - Read more about that here.
