Anthology series debuts April 24 on Starz
Adapted from season one of the Slate podcast "Slow Burn," the Sam Esmail-produced Gaslit retells the story of the Watergate scandal with an emphasis on some of the lesser known figures involved. (In theory, it's yet another anthology series, with yet-to-be-ordered future seasons to focus on other historical events.) The star-filled cast includes Julia Roberts (as socialite Martha Mitchell), Sean Penn (as Attorney General John Mitchell), Dan Stevens (as John Dean), Betty Gilpin (as Mo Dean), Shea Whigham (as G. Gordon Liddy), Allison Tolman (as journalist Winnie McLendon), Patton Oswalt (as Nixon advisor Chuck Colson), Hamish Linklater (as Mitchell assistant Jeb Magruder), Chris Bauer (as Watergate burglar James McCord), Nat Faxon (as Bob Haldeman), Chris Messina (as FBI agent Angelo Lano), and J.C. MacKenzie (as E. Howard Hunt). The adaptation comes from writer/producer Robbie Pickering, a veteran of both Mr. Robot and Search Party. With the Watergate break-in nearing its 50th anniversary, you can expect more Watergate-themed content to come in the near future, including HBO's The White House Plumbers miniseries (which will find Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux starring as Hunt and Liddy, respectively).
