The highly anticipated series Impeachment: American Crime Story is set to premiere soon, and the full trailer has finally dropped. With a remarkable ensemble cast, the excitement is palpable as fans eagerly await its debut on FX.

Clive Owen takes on the role of Bill Clinton, while Edie Falco portrays Hillary Clinton. Beanie Feldstein stars as Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern who has since become a prominent figure on social media. The trailer also features Cobie Smulders as Ann Coulter and Sarah Paulson, who has transformed into Linda Tripp for her role. It’s safe to say the show’s hair, makeup, and wardrobe teams deserve recognition for their outstanding work.

This marks the third season of American Crime Story, focusing on the affair between President Clinton and Lewinsky, which resulted in a significant political scandal. The trailer includes the infamous line, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman,” along with scenes of the two in the Oval Office. In light of the #MeToo movement, the narrative resonates differently today, reflecting societal changes regarding power dynamics and the exploitation of younger women.

Monica Lewinsky, who is also a producer on the show, brings her perspective to the narrative. Beanie Feldstein expressed her enthusiasm in an interview, stating that she is honored to portray Lewinsky and aims to present a more nuanced perspective on her story, one that counters the often salacious portrayals that have led to undue ridicule.

Executive producer Ryan Murphy shared that it took some persuasion to get Lewinsky involved, emphasizing the importance of having the subject of the story take the lead in telling it. Ultimately, Lewinsky felt it was time to reclaim her narrative, having witnessed her story being told by others for decades. “I’m so grateful for the growth we’ve made as a society that allows people like me who have been historically silenced to finally reintroduce my voice to the conversation,” she said
