Los Angeles: The next chapter of FX hit anthology series American Crime Story will focus on the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Titled Impeachment, the third season will follow the stories of women — Lewinsky, Paula Jones and Linda Tripp — who played an important role in the impeachment proceedings of Clinton as the US president in the late 1990s.

Lewinsky is on board the project as a producer along with Henrietta Con-rad and Jemima Khan, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The initial cast includes Sarah Paulson as Tripp; Beanie Feldstein as Lewinsky; and Annaleigh Ashford as Paula Jones.

The third season is based on Jeffrey Toobin’s book A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President. Sarah Burgess is writing the script.

“This franchise re-examines some of the most complicated, polarising stories in recent history in a way that is relevant, nuanced and entertaining. Impeachment: American Crime Story will likewise explore the overlooked dimensions of the women who found themselves caught up in the scandal and political war that cast a long shadow over the Clinton presidency,” FX CEO John Landgraf said.

Impeachment will be executive produced by show creator Ryan Murphy, Burgess, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Brad Falchuk.
