Sherman co-wrote the initial episode with Oscar winner Tom McCarthy (<em>Spotlight<\/em>, <em>Win Win<\/em>), who will executive produce with Emmy winner Jason Blum.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming series focuses primarily on the past decade, in which Ailes arguably became the Republican Party\u2019s de facto leader. It also includes flashbacks to defining events in Ailes\u2019 life, including an initial meeting with Richard Nixon on the set of <em>The Mike Douglas Show<\/em> that sparked Ailes\u2019 political career, and the sexual harassment accusations and settlements that brought his Fox News reign to an end. The project is a co-production from Showtime and Blumhouse Television (<em>Sharp Objects<\/em>, <em>The Normal Heart<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn many ways, the collision between the media and politics has come to define the world we live in today,\u201d said David Nevins, the president and CEO of Showtime Networks. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen this phenomenon depicted on screen as far back as the story of Charles Foster Kane, and it finds contemporary embodiment in the rise and fall of Roger Ailes. With Russell Crowe in the lead role, this limited series promises to be a defining story for this era.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Showtime has ordered a limited series about Fox News founder Roger Ailes that will star Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind) in the lead role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1780,2580,166],"class_list":["post-9650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-blumhouse-television","tag-russell-crowe","tag-showtime","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Russell Crowe to Star in Showtime\u2019s Roger Ailes Series - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Russell Crowe to Star in Showtime\u2019s Roger Ailes Series - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Showtime has ordered a limited series about Fox News founder Roger Ailes that will star Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind) in the lead role.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-06-26T15:02:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-04-16T20:48:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/\",\"name\":\"Russell Crowe to Star in Showtime\u2019s Roger Ailes Series - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-06-26T15:02:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-04-16T20:48:17+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/russell-crowe-to-star-in-showtimes-roger-ailes-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Russell Crowe to Star in Showtime\u2019s Roger Ailes Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
