NATIONAL ENQUIRER: THE UNTOLD STORY! Limited Series in the Works at Sony TV

Sony TV has announced that they are developing a limited series about America’s most infamous tabloid titled, National Enquirer: The Untold Story. The limited series is inspired by the 2019 feature documentary Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer, produced and directed by Mark Landsman. The series adaptation will be produced and directed by The Goldbergs EP, Seth Gordon, who has directed Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief, and several series. The script is being written by Kyle Kenny (Just the Facts).

Deadline reports “the limited series will center on the men and women who made up the notorious tabloid’s leadership and ranks. From its mafia-linked founder Gene Pope, to the UK reporters he poached from Fleet Street, to the Ivy League recruits who were all invited to the wild party of booze, drugs, bottomless expense accounts and skyrocketing profits, Untold Story! will explore the National Enquirer’s precarious evolution into the political realm and its indelible impact on America’s relationship with the truth.”

I didn’t get a chance to watch the documentary, but it sounds like the series will be able to take an even deeper dive into the history of the tabloid. Does this sound like a series you’ll be interested in?
