Check out the official full-length trailer for "Scoop," an upcoming Netflix original film starring Emmy Award winner Gillian Anderson in the role of Emily Maitlis, a prominent British BBC journalist aiming to secure an exclusive interview with Prince Andrew, Duke of York, in November 2019. This film underscores Netflix's dedication to British original programming and its penchant for dramatizing scandalous true stories.

Directed by Philip Martin, acclaimed for his work on "The Crown," and written by Peter Moffat, known for "Criminal Justice" and "Your Honor," "Scoop" provides a dramatic portrayal of the events leading up to the pivotal interview where Prince Andrew faced questioning regarding his association with the notorious convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The movie boasts an impressive ensemble cast, with Billie Piper portraying English TV producer Sam McAlister, Keeley Hawes embodying Prince Andrew's private secretary Amanda Thirsk, and Rufus Sewell stepping into the role of Prince Andrew himself.

"Scoop" delves into the behind-the-scenes dynamics preceding the broadcast, which ultimately became known as the "scoop of the decade," marking a significant juncture in Prince Andrew's public life and eventual withdrawal from royal duties.

Co-starring Connor Swindells, Romola Garai, and Charity Wakefield, "Scoop" is slated to premiere on Netflix on April 5th.
