Ghislaine Maxwell, the business associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein who faces multiple charges, will be the subject of a docuseries.
Chasing Ghislaine, executive produced by James Patterson Entertainment, will document “the mystery behind Epstein’s wealth and influence and how Maxwell’s alleged role within this conspiracy threatens a shadowy cabal of international elite and world leaders who might do anything to keep their identities — and motives — hidden.” The docuseries, which will include more than 30 filmed interviews, is set to premiere on Discovery+ before the end of 2021, according to a press release.
“Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial is expected to start in November, and we have the definitive look at the man and his alleged primary co-conspirator, who many believe holds the keys to the remaining mysteries of Epstein’s operations, including the web of men whose money propped him up and allowed him to victimize young girls for nearly two decades,” Lisa Holme, group senior vice president of content and commercial Strategy for Discovery, said. “We’re thrilled to be working with Vicky Ward, James Patterson Entertainment and Blackfin, to shed light on the case … and the suspected cover up.”

Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 and charged with transporting a minor for the purpose of criminal sexual activity and conspiring to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts. A suspending indictment filed in March added charges of sex trafficking to allegations that Maxwell, 59, recruited underage girls to be abused by Epstein.
Her trial was postponed until the fall on the grounds that the defense needed more time to prepare.

Epstein, who was arrested in July 2019, was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy for allegedly abusing girls as young as 14. He pleaded not guilty to the charges before he was found dead in his Manhattan prison cell that August. The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Epstein’s death a suicide.
