In 2018, Lifetime earned critical acclaim for its multi-part documentary Surviving R. Kelly, which featured young women speaking out against the popular R&B singer and making public their allegations against him of sexual abuse.

The Emmy-nominated series is credited with helping to turn public sentiment against Kelly, who was arrested on federal sex-crime charges in Chicago last July.

Now, Lifetime is working on a new docuseries, this time centered around Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested last summer on one count of sex trafficking of a minor and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

Per his indictment, "over the course of many years, Jeffrey Epstein, the defendant, sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations." He later died by suicide in jail, awaiting his trial.

While the case would be newsworthy on its own, Epstein's high-profile associates, who include Queen Elizabeth's son Prince Andrew, former president Bill Clinton, and current President Donald Trump, have only amplified attention, as has the recent arrest of Epstein's ex-girlfriend and alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Surviving Jeffrey Epstein "will look into how Epstein, a billionaire financier, used his money and connections to wealthy and powerful people to allegedly shield predatory behavior with girls, even after registering as a sex offender in 2008 for a conviction of procuring prostitution from a minor."

Watch the first trailer up top. It's set to be a four-hour long program, and will premiere later this summer in two parts on August 9 and 10 to mark the the anniversary of Epstein's death. Per the network, Lifetime also "partnered with Rise to run a special PSA during the airings of the documentary to encourage other survivors to use their voice to RISE UP and help establish Survivors Bills of Rights in their states."
