FX CEO John Landgraf reveals that the first lady, unlike Tripp, Jones, and Lewinksy, will not play a big role in the upcoming season. In 2019, he told The Hollywood Reporter that "Hillary is actually not a significant character in Impeachment because it's really told from the point of view of these women who were really far from the center of power."

Impeachment: American Crime Story" is a book adaptation of "A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President" by Jeffrey Toobin. The season's premiere date is yet to be determined.
