Cracking Open the FTX Saga: Netflix's New Series Revealed
Get ready for the blockbuster drama unfolding as Netflix gears up to share the story of FTX, one of the tech world's buzzing cryptocurrency exchanges.
At the heart of this riveting series are FTX's founders - Sam Bankman-Fried and the former CEO, Caroline Ellison. whisperings suggest that Emmy-winning actor Evan Peters and Julia Garner, known for her killer performances, may step into the roles of Bankman-Fried and Ellison, respectively. It's a tantalizing possibility that has set the entertainment world abuzz.
According to the latest scoops, Garner has landed the role of Ellison and will also serve as an executive producer on the series. Scheduled to begin production in the warmer months, this gripping eight-episode series is a hot property for Netflix, which has already placed an order for the project.
The series will weave a tale of FTX's meteoric rise and, well, the rest is yet to be seen – the fall. Its focus will primarily center around the unique dynamics between Ellison and Bankman-Fried. As for Peters, his casting as Bankman-Fried is still up in the air, though the grapevine is rife with rumors.
The series will be helmed by Oscar-winning screenwriter Graham Moore (The Imitation Game), ensuring a captivating narrative. Jacqueline Hoyt, of The Leftovers and The Good Wife fame, will join as an executive producer and co-showrunner. Higher Ground Productions, founded by none other than the Obama's, will bring this saga to life.
While Netflix dives headfirst into the FTX series, other platforms are following suit. Amazon Prime Video is working on a separate FTX series, while Apple Studios and A24 are teaming up for a movie based on Michael Lewis' book "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon." To add fuel to the fire, Vice Media and The Information are creating a documentary on FTX, promising a 360-degree glimpse into the crypto exchange's highs and lows.
With Netflix poised to drop some official announcements any day now, we're all biting our nails in anticipation.
