Gillian Anderson and Billie Piper lead the tense trailer for Netflix\u2019s Scoop<\/a>, which tells the story of Newsnight\u2019s \u201cearth-shattering\u201d interview with Prince Andrew (played by The Diplomat<\/a>\u2018s Rufus Sewell).<\/p>\n

The feature film is based on a book by former Newsnight producer Sam McAlister<\/a>, which detailed how exactly the royal family member ended up appearing on the programme for an interview deemed a public relations nightmare.<\/p>\n

McAlister herself is portrayed by Doctor Who<\/a> alum and I Hate Suzie<\/a> star Piper, while journalist Emily Maitlis is played by Anderson, who is coming off acclaimed turns in fellow Netflix projects The Crown<\/a> and Sex Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sewell dons prosthetics for the role of Prince Andrew, with this nail-biting teaser emphasising the nerves felt throughout the Newsnight team as Maitlis found herself conducting the now-infamous interview.<\/p>\n
