Netflix is preparing to release a series that highlights the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which became one of the most high-profile scandals in the financial industry. The plot will pay particular attention to the personal relationships of key figures, including Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison.

Actors and Their Roles
Actress Julia Garner, known for her performances in
“Ozark”
and
“Inventing Anna”
, is in negotiations for the role of Caroline Ellison, the former head of Alameda Research. Sources report that the deal is close to being finalized. Meanwhile, the role of Sam Bankman-Fried has not yet been confirmed, but negotiations are ongoing with actor Evan Peters, who gained popularity for his role in the Netflix series
“DAHMER”
and in the
“X-Men”
film series.
Script and Production
According to reports, the script for the series is being developed by Graham Moore, an Oscar-winning screenwriter for the film
“The Imitation Game”
. It is expected that the love story between the central characters will be one of the main components of the plot to enhance its dramatic appeal. Interest in the FTX story surged after its collapse in November 2022, and several studios competed for the rights to adapt it. As a result, Netflix acquired those rights, but the development of the project is progressing slowly, and there is currently no exact release date for the series.
Experts note that the series may get stuck again in the early stages of development, and they also remind that the founder of FTX previously sought a pardon from Donald Trump.
