The series explores the downfall of figures Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison, who both landed in prison following the collapse of FTX. The drama debuts on November 19.

Co-showrunner Graham Moore stated in a summer interview with Netflix that he was fascinated by the real stories of both central figures, describing their real-life personas as characters he could never have invented.
