Rolling Stone and Imagine Documentaries are partnering to produce Sound & Vision, a rock and roll anthology series of immersive films that will delve deep into music and cultural history.

Mined from the extensive Rolling Stone archive, and helmed by visionary and award-winning filmmakers, each episode is a specific journey through a unique moment in music and cultural history. Framed by the reporting of Rolling Stone, episodes will range from biographical to investigatory of a watershed event or cultural milestone.

“We are thrilled to be taking our fierce and ambitious journalism to a new medium,” said Rolling Stone President and COO Gus Wenner. “Imagine is the perfect partner to tell the most important stories in music and culture the way they deserve to be told.”

The series will include a mix of iconic Rolling Stone features and new in-depth reporting from its top journalists. Episodes will range from exclusive portraits of Freddie Mercury,...

A new documentary with the working title of House of Saud, helmed by filmmaker Alex Gibney and author Lawrence Wright will examine the United States’ tenuous relationship with Saudi Arabia. Showtime announced Monday that the film was in development but did not announce a projected premiere date.

The film will attempt to make sense of how the White House works with the Saudi royal family, beginning with the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the way the Trump administration seemed to walked on eggshells when it came to implicating Saudis.

A&E has pulled off a coup by securing Monica Lewinsky to feature in six-part documentary The Impeachment of Bill Clinton (w/t).

The cable network has ordered the series from Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions, Jemina Khan’s Instinct Productions and Emmy-winning director Blair Foster (Rolling Stone: Stories From The Edge). It will weave together never-seen-before archival footage with exclusive new interviews, of which Lewinsky’s appearance is the most high-profile.

Beginning November 18, the limited doc series will explore the biggest political scandal of its generation and look at broader topics including media, feminism, politics and power. It will investigate the history leading up to the impeachment trial and chronicles the role each of these forces played in this story of sex, power, money, lies and ideological warfare.

The doc series comes a few months after A&E sister network History scrapped its planned drama series, The Breach, about the same subject.

Monica Lewinsky will be featured in an upcoming documentary series about President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, Variety has confirmed.

Twenty years after the impeachment of Clinton, the A&E series will chronicle the infamous political scandal and its lasting influence on the country. “The Impeachment of Bill Clinton” (working title) will follow the former president’s affair with former White House intern Lewinsky, and Clinton’s subsequent impeachment. It also explores themes of media, feminism, politics, and power.

The three-part series will feature previously unseen footage of Clinton and Lewinsky, along with in-depth interview from those closest to the impeachment proceedings, including Lewinsky, special counsel Ken Starr, and James Carville. The Clintons themselves were not interviewed. It includes both archival footage of Lewinsky, and new interviews in wake of the #MeToo era.

“A real-life political thriller, ‘The Impeachment of Bill Clinton’ is the most in-depth and intimate account of how one...
