At the Television Critics Association summer press tour, FX Boss John Landgraf announced a Season 3 order for the award-winning anthology series, American Crime Story. Season 3, titled Impeachment: American Crime Story, “unravels the national scandal that swept up Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, and Linda Tripp as principal characters in the country’s first impeachment proceedings in over a century,” according to a synopsis from FX.
Portraying these characters will be Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp, Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky, and Annaleigh Ashford as Paula Jones. The series will premiere on Sunday, September 27, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
“FX’s American Crime Story franchise has become a cultural touchstone, providing greater context for stories that deserve greater understanding like the O.J. Simpson trial and saga, and Andrew Cunanan’s tragic crime spree which concluded with the assassination of Gianni Versace,” said Landgraf. “This franchise re-examines some of the most complicated, polarizing stories in recent history in a way that is relevant, nuanced and entertaining.
