As of now, the role of Sam Bankman-Fried has not yet been confirmed. However, according to journalists, discussions are actively ongoing with actor Evan Peters. Garner gained popularity through her successful roles in the series «Ozark» and «Inventing Anna», which earned her numerous awards, including an «Emmy». Experts believe that her involvement in the project will add significant weight to the series.
There are also rumors that Julia Garner may become an executive producer of the series, but a final decision has not yet been made. As for Peters, negotiations with him are still in the early stages, but his participation in the project is considered crucial, given his popularity from his role in the series «DAHMER» and the «X-Men» films.
Script and Plot of the Series
Graham Moore, an Oscar-winning screenwriter for the film «The Imitation Game», is likely to work on the script for the new series. According to sources, Netflix intends to introduce a romantic storyline between the characters as a central part of the plot, which is expected to enhance the dramatic effect.
Production Prospects for the Series
The story of FTX attracted Hollywood’s attention soon after the company’s collapse in November 2022, and various studios competed for the rights to adapt this event. However, Netflix emerged as the winner, although the development of the project is progressing slowly, and there is currently no exact release date for the series. Experts express concerns that the project may face delays during the development stage.
