Netflix to Produce Series About Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX Collapse

Netflix is planning a series about the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which became one of the biggest scandals in the industry. Actress Julia Garner is close to signing on to play Caroline Ellison, the former head of Alameda Research, according to Variety.

The actor playing Sam Bankman-Fried himself has not yet been approved either. According to journalists, negotiations are underway with actor Evan Peters.

Garner is known for her roles in Ozark and Inventing Anna, for which she received Emmy Awards. Her participation in the project gives the series additional weight, according to film experts. The media writes that Garner may also take the executive producer's chair, but the final decision has not yet been made.

Negotiations with Peters are still in the early stages. The actor became famous thanks to his role in the Netflix series “DAHMER” and the “X-Men” films. The authors of the article note that the actor playing Sam Bankman-Fried is of key importance to the Netflix project.

Graham Moore, an Oscar winner for The Imitation Game, is rumored to be writing the series. Netflix is reportedly planning to make the love story between the characters a central part of the plot to enhance the dramatic effect.

According to rumors, the FTX story caught the attention of Hollywood immediately after the collapse in November 2022. Media outlets claim that several studios were competing for the film rights. Netflix was the winner, but the project’s development is slow and there is no exact release date for the series. Experts warn that the series may also get stuck in the early stages of development.
