In the series, Beanie Feldstein (“Lady Bird”) will portray Lewinsky, Sarah Paulson will play Linda Tripp and Annaleigh Ashford (“Masters of Sex”) will play Paula Jones. FX did not announce who would play the president.

This will be just the latest re-examination of the 1998 sex and impeachment scandal. Last year, A&E released a six-part documentary series, “The Clinton Affair,” and the Lewinsky-Clinton scandal was also the subject of a popular season of the Slate podcast, “Slow Burn.”

Expectations will be huge. The first installment of the FX series, “The People v. O.J. Simpson” set ratings records for FX in 2016 and won the Emmy and the Golden Globe for best limited series. The second installment, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” which came out last year, also won the best limited series Emmy and Globe.

The playwright Sarah Burgess will write the new season, which FX said would begin on Sept. 27, 2020. It will go into production in February.
