- It centers on the Murdoch succession fight, including the Nevada trust dispute and a reported $3.3 billion settlement tied to Lachlan Murdoch consolidating control.
- Directed by Liz Garbus with Sara Enright co‑directing the final episode, the series features journalists and former employees such as Jim Rutenberg, Jonathan Mahler, McKay Coppins, Kara Swisher and ex‑Fox staffers.
- Producers draw on thousands of previously unseen documents, emails and texts plus extensive archival footage to reconstruct the family’s internal battles.
- The film leans into real‑to‑reel parallels with HBO’s Succession, including use of the show’s theme, and foregrounds tabloid practices like phone‑hacking through first‑hand accounts.
