Recap of Episode One
For Ryan Murphy’s popular FX series, Sarah Burgess has written the screenplay. The first episode of the current season, Exiles, released on September 7, does not focus on Lewinsky’s narrative. The plot focuses mainly on Linda Tripp, and occasionally it provides a detour to the story of Paula Jones, who had accused Clinton of sexual assault.
The story takes a plunge five years into the past to 1994 and moves forth to cover up the various events that encircle the entire scandal. The episode ends with the events of April 1996, in which Lewinsky enters her office at the Pentagon and receives a call from then-President Bill Clinton.
Who is the Cast of Impeachment: American Crime Story?
The series stars Beanie Feldstein in the role of Monica Lewinsky. Linda Tripp is being played by Sarah Paulson, and Paula Jones by Annaleigh Ashford. Margo Martindale is seen in the role of Lucianne Goldberg. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are being played by Edie Falco and Clive Owen, respectively.
The forthcoming episode will dive deeper to reveal the various intricacies that surround the scandal. You can watch the upcoming episode on FX on September 14.
