Showtime has announced that Emmy nominated director Kari Skogland (The Handmaid’s Tale) is set to direct the first two episodes of a new limited series about FOX News founder Roger Ailes.
Based on Gabriel Sherman’s bestselling book The Loudest Voice in the Room, the series is set to star Russell Crowe (Gladiator) as Ailes.
Skogland is also the only woman in contention this year for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.
To understand the events that led to the rise of Donald Trump, one must understand Ailes.
