New Prince Andrew Netflix film Scoop highlights the women behind infamous Newsnight interview – and the character likeness is uncanny

Netflix scoop.

Netflix has released the first official photos of what will undoubtedly become its next big hit Scoop – a new movie which dramatises the infamous Newsnight interview, in which Prince Andrew spoke to British journalist Emily Maitlis about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

The film is based on parts of former BBC producer and author Sam McAlister’s memoir Scoops. McAlister was the woman who secured the interview with the Duke back in 2019, and will be played by Billie Piper in the movie. The other significant woman in the story is Emily Maitlis, the British journalist who sat opposite and presented the questions to Prince Andrew. Maitlis is played by Gillian Anderson.
