Sarah Paulson to be part of Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky season of 'American Crime Story'

It’s official. Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actress Sarah Paulson has joined the cast of ‘American Crime Story’ season 4 which will centre on the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Paulson has already been part of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series of true crime in season 1, The People v OJ Simpson, in which she played the prosecutor, Marcia Clark. The role she will play in season 4 has not been revealed yet.

On confirming the news, Ryan Murphy said, “Sarah will be in it but she won't be playing Hillary," Murphy said. “That’s earmarked for talks with somebody else. We're casting that now. I can't say what Sarah is playing, but it starts shooting at the end of this year.”
 
If not Hilary, will she be playing Lewinsky herself? Or maybe, yet another important role as Former Attorney General Janet Reno, much like Marcia. She could also play Linda Tripp, the lady who started it all.

Season 2 of American Crime Story will be based on Hurricane Katrina which will premiere in 2018.

Season 3 of series will showcase the story around the assassination of Gianni Versace. Season 4 will follow the Monica Lewinsky–Bill Clinton affair and bring the nuances of the scandal to light.
