Showtime has announced that Golden Globe nominee Sienna Miller (Layer Cake), Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy), Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Simon McBurney (The Theory of Everything) and Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders) have joined the cast of the network’s upcoming eight-episode limited series about Fox News founder Roger Ailes.
For the primary source material, The Loudest Voice in the Room, Sherman interviewed more than 600 people.
The project is a co-production from Showtime and independent studio Blumhouse Television (Sharp Objects, The Normal Heart).
Miller will portray former NBC news producer Elizabeth “Beth” Ailes, who married Roger, 22 years her senior, in 1998, shortly after the founding of Fox News.
