The show’s third season will focus on Clinton’s 1998 impeachment trial. Owen’s leading ladies include Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky and Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp.
The role of former first lady Hillary Clinton has not been cast, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The show will begin production this spring and tentatively air in the fall.
Lewinsky will produce the season because executive producer Ryan Murphy felt that she was the only person who should be allowed to tell this particular part of American history.
“Nobody should tell your story but you, and it’s kind of gross if they do,” Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter last year. “If you want to produce it with me, I would love that; but you should be the producer and you should make all the goddamn money.’”
Although Owen’s casting comes at a time when current President Donald Trump is going through an impeachment inquiry, Murphy told Deadline current events won’t influence the Clinton-centric series, according to Deadline, which first reported the casting.
“We do a show that is very thoroughly fact-checked and vetted and based on bestselling books by Jeffrey Toobin,” Murphy told Deadline earlier this week. “I think the reason why it’s interesting is because you don’t have to change anything to feel modern. And I think that idea of impeachment, obviously with Trump, is fascinating. I wouldn’t say that we’re changing things that much or mentioning Trump at all in our narrative.”

Jim Cooke
Jim Cooke is a Massachusetts-based actor who performs one-man shows dedicated to Calvin Coolidge. Unlike other impersonators who perform comedy, Cooke calls what he does "solo history." He first did Coolidge back in 1976 and felt there was more to him than the nonentity fostered by historians. "As I read his speeches and autobiography I could hear a voice in my head; I liked the way it sounded," Cooke said. "I liked his honesty, humility and humor. Especially his humor -- Will Rogers said: 'Calvin Coolidge was one of the funniest public men I ever met!'
Jim Cooke
Cooke also does shows as John Quincy Adams, who he says is a powerful example of what a man can do at the end of life if he is driven to do something. Adams died in 1848 after having a cerebral hemmorhage while raising an objection in the House of Representatives and Cooke admits that appeals to him. "I'd quite like to keel over and make my final exit in performance much as he did in Congress -- I'm not in any hurry!"

Mulligan is also working up a Newt Gingrich impersonation, which he says sounds like a cross between Kermit the Frog and a college professor.
