Former president Bill Clinton is mentioned as one of the guests on Epstein's island. Author James Patterson co-produced the documentary and is also collaborating with Bill Clinton on a book.
Bestselling author and series executive co-producer James Patterson was a Palm Beach (FL) neighbor of Jeffrey Epstein.
Filthy Rich was announced prior to Epstein's death, and was in production nine months prior to his arrest.
The miniseries was based on the 2016 book Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein written by James Patterson, and co-written by John Connolly with Tim Malloy.
