) as John Dean, Betty Gilpin as Mo Dean, Shea Whigham as G. Gordon Liddy and Darby Camp as Marty Mitchell.
The story will center on Roberts’ Martha Mitchell, “a big personality with an even bigger mouth.” Martha is a celebrity Arkansan socialite and wife to Nixon’s loyal Attorney General, John Mitchell . Despite her party affiliation, she’s the first person to publicly sound the alarm on Nixon’s involvement in Watergate, causing both the Presidency and her personal life to unravel. As Attorney General, John Mitchell is Nixon’s most trusted advisor and best friend.
Based on the first season of the “Slow Burn” podcast,” “Gaslit” is created by Robbie Pickering who executive produces alongside Esmail, Roberts, director Matt Ross, Chad Hamilton, Gabriel Roth and Josh Levin. Co-executive producers include Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill. Leon Neyfakh, who created the podcast, consulted on the project.
“Gaslit is the Watergate story you’ve never heard before. At the center of the show is Martha Mitchell, an unlikely whistleblower who is the first person to bust the whole scandal wide open and ultimately becomes the subject of a vicious White House smear campaign enacted in part by her own beloved husband, Attorney General John Mitchell,” Pickering said.
“Gaslit” is produced for Starz by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, where Esmail has an overall deal.
